#149: Derek Sivers - Musician, Writer, Founder of CDBaby

<p>Derek Sivers is a musician, writer, and entrepreneur. He started CDBaby in 1998, offering independent musicians (including me!) a way to sell their music online. 10 years later, he sold it, donating most of the money to music education. Derek wrote "Anything You Want" explaining lessons he learned from the adventure. </p> <p>Derek is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, and in this episode he shares some of his insight about making music and the creative process. It was a great conversation that makes meaningful connections between life, business, and creativity. </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be on the look out for his new books "Your Music and People" and "Hell Yeah or No." </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">iTunes</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/music-production-podcast?refid=stpr"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ip424c7a3w32gzox6c2bnwexy3q"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Play</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">; watch on</span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://sivers.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Official Site</a> - Derek's website.
