  <description>&lt;p&gt;Okay, we’re doing something a little different on The Creative Dad Pod…WE’RE SPLITTING UP EPISODES. More daddy time for daddy. You’re getting a pair of Artos Saucedo interviews this week. The co-owner and co-creator of Open Gallery in Long Beach, CA, is a journeyman that’s shared almost half of his creative development with a son. Becoming a dad at a young age, he’s navigated the highs and lows of fatherhood while on his entrepreneurial trek through the art world. In the first part of the two parts, we dive into the aftermath of a car accident that almost took out the entire family, the difficulties of asking for help, and the imposter syndrome that comes from success without an institutionalized education. Life partner to Liz, and father to Dylan, please welcome to the pod. Artos Saucedo. &lt;br&gt;
