Introduction

Derek Sivers: I was a full-time musician and nothing but a musician from the age of 14 to 29. He started CD Baby, which became the largest seller of independent music on the web with like 150,000-something musicians. After doing that for 10 years, he felt done and sold it in 2008. And since then have been more of just a writer, speaker, thinker, random, dude at large.
