Introduction

Why does Game of Thrones cost $70,000 to watch? What happens when you choose to believe that everything is your responsibility? And why do smart people not think that others are stupid?

Welcome back to How They Get Stuff Done. Today I’m speaking with Derek Sivers.

Derek Sivers has been a musician, a circus performer, an entrepreneur, and a TED speaker. He’s the founder of CD Baby, an online distributor of independent music. He’s written several books, including How to Live and Hell Yeah or No. Most recently, he’s been working on his latest book, Useful Not True.

Derek and I discuss choosing your beliefs, taking radical responsibility for whatever happens to you, the benefits of not having a to-do list, walking away from what doesn’t work for you, and more. Enjoy the conversation.
