Welcome to Building Boldly, a podcast by cultural strategist and philanthropist Ariana Makonnen for founders and changemakers designing, funding, and leading successful creative ventures across art, film, fashion, books, and more. Each episode features special guests sharing their stories, challenges, and valuable insights into how they've designed—and funded their creative lives. Tune in for fresh conversations and real talk about getting started and staying in it. And if you're building something of your own, consider this your invitation to keep going—with clarity, with courage, and in good company. New episodes every other Thursday.
