When asked who the most interesting man alive is, I’d say Derek Sivers. He’s an entrepreneur, writer, and former musician who founded CD Baby, sold it for $22 million, and donated the proceeds to musician education. He has authored five impactful books, given several TED Talks, and lived in various countries, embracing diverse cultures. In this wide-ranging interview, we’ll discuss embracing your weirdness, challenging beliefs, confronting death, and more. Plus, as a fun bonus at the end, Derek even asked me to take my shirt off.
