I love short talks, not because I am too lazy to listen to long ones, but because it impresses me if people are able to find images or metaphors respectively that keep what they have to say short and precise. Derek Sivers is a wonderful example of this very rare species. It is not only the shortness which I adore, but I also his view on the world. There is not more to say, listen if you find 2:50 minutes …
Derek Sivers is best known as the founder of CD Baby. A professional musician since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.
Really fantastic!! Simply true! I love it! I wish more people would share that view.
