MeetInnovators interview: How Derek Sivers Sold CD Baby (as sole owner) for $22M
- mcantor 17y agoWow. Derek Sivers really kicks ass.
- travisjeffery 17y agoWe should all be inspired by him to make something great, one day be able to give millions away and also to have our picture taken while hopping a creek for an interview.
- kevinholesh 17y agoWow that is annoying how you have to register to download the MP3. Also, "Subscribe in iTunes" link is no where to be found.
- 3dFlatLander 17y agoSorry to the site owners for posting these links, but that is kind of ridiculous. Link to the MP3 http://meetinnovators.com/2010/01/14/derek-sivers-from-cd-baby-docs/derek_sivers_full.mp3 http://meetinnovators.com/2010/01/14/derek-sivers-from-cd-ba... And the iTunes link http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=307286551 http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcas...
- tcskeptic 17y agoI think his success is great. I also think that describing 5% of 20MM annually as a trickle is really funny. I want to be trickle profitable someday.
- seunosewa 17y agoThat starts at 1 million annually. After 20 years, there will be only $7 million left in the fund. Hmm.
- abstractbill 17y agoThat's assuming the fund doesn't earn any interest, which I expect it does.
- johnl 17y agoA good example of a founder that knew for the company to survive and growth in the future another step was required and he was not interested in that position. A smart guy.
