He wanted to pay off his school loans so he could "feel like a free person." Now his entire life revolves around being a slave to his debt (living in a van in remote Alaksa, etc). To each their own. But to me, this doesn't seem more free.

It's just easier to tell people "check out my music - yeah I'm in iTunes/Spotify/Amazon etc" when you're in all the stores. Plus there's just a special satisfaction for a musician to be in the major stores -- at least that's how I feel as a

Disagree. If you've truly lost faith in the founders and business -- which you have -- you should leave now & cut your losses. It's not going to work out, regardless of salary. As for how to make money after you leave -- get a job or fi

The flip side is, when you're naturally good at something, it becomes fun to do. So you do it a lot. I tried for 2 years to get good at guitar. Never got good. But didn't practice very often either. Then one I sat down at a drum set and was
