Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.

I sent the first of my four pigs to the abattoir. Now I feel a pang of guilt

What happened after you put that together? People would get it and reply back! Like who ever replies back to an automated shipping email, right? But the fact that this little quirky email had so much personality let them know there is real people here. But more importantly, people started sharing it. Even just a little blogspot, or wordpress or whatever blog. Now if you take any of those sentences from that email and you put it into quotation marks and search for it on Google you find literally thousands of blogs has pasted my confirmation email onto their blogs.

That make people remark on you about you. So yeah, I think thousands of people heard about CD Baby because of that one little silly email. And I think, comparable might be Zappos for instance and their customer service. What was the anecdote that got spread around? The anecdote was you can call up Zappos for anything, even if it was unrelated to the product.

And on the serious analytical side you say oh my God, that such a waste of human and capital resources. Can you imagine if everybody called to order pizza, which off course…. Probably millions of dollars of free publicity just by making that okay.

A Truffle Pig Heads for the Piers: Kenny Schachter in New York (Part 1)

And like how long did that take? Not long at all. It makes people happier.

There is so much more to a business than just the money. Yeah, you could get me going on that rant. So tell me about, I remember reading about this, but I think we might have talked about it at one point, which was when people would call CD Baby trying to offer you financing. How did those go? So remember, I started CD Baby like the end of 97, beginning of So it was the first dot-com boom and so much money was flying around and everybody was trying to push money at everyone who had a.

So of course me with an actual, profitable running business… that was really the only game in town. By the way, back when I started it, if you were a musician that wanted to sell your music online, there was a guy named Derek in New York that could do it for you and that was it. There were no other businesses that would do it. Some showed up like a year or two later, but at first I had no competition at all. I was it. So yeah, tons of money was shoved my direction. I was profitable ever since. So yeah, that lasted for 10 years. How did you develop that relationship with money? Was it something from your parents?

Figure 1 – Global pig price cycle: Jan 2011-Sept 12222.

Oh sorry, they were there too. Sorry, when I said three guests I meant except from my immediate family. Sorry about that. How did you develop this relationship with money where you would say no like that for 10 years? Because I had enough. Actually, you know what? Because remember, I was making my living as a professional musician which was my original goal and dream. And this little CD Baby thing was just like a favor I was doing for my friends, to kind of get back to the community, right?

YEAR IN REVIEW: PART ONE

And I spent the night brainstorming. So that was like my utopian ideal for how this would work. I already had enough money that I had made gigging and touring and all that stuff. I already had money so this was a thing I was doing to give back to the community, to create something that needed to exist. Kind of artistically, or just almost like a community service kind of thing.

So that was the original DNA of this thing. And you know, from what we know about DNA, it helps decide what things grow into, right? So this was the DNA, so then as it grew, and then he became really profitable. And I had all my bills paid off, there was nothing I wanted to buy. All is good.

It was only two numbers. Actually there is a cute story. So for Marko, my first friends that asked me to do this, and maybe the next 10 or 15 friends that came after, I was charging nothing. I was just doing this as a free favor. This was my community service. So I was living in Woodstock, New York at the time, and there was a cute tiny little record store in town that sold consignment CDs on the counter, with local musicians.

And then I realized that it took about 45 minutes of time for me to set up a new album into the system, because I had to lay the album art on the scanner and Photoshop it and crop it and then fix the musicians spelling mistakes in their own bio and all that kind of stuff. That took about 45 minutes of work for all of them. So you know what?

Let me give you discount. So yeah, 35 dollars setup fee, 4 dollars per CD sold. And Tim, for the next 10 years, that was it. That was my entire business model. It was generated in five minutes by walking down to the local record store and ask them what they do. I love that story and simplicity, because I think there is an infatuation of fetishizing of pivoting in the tech startup world that has infected many other types of entrepreneurship.

Those are the people who you are going to be written about. How did it come about and what is the gist of that? There was a music conference in Australia that I had told my friend that I would go with her to. So I had said yes like six months before. Like yeah sure, Australia! Oh my God, that would be amazing! Because most of us say yes to too much stuff, and then we let these little mediocre things fill our lives.

So once I started applying this my life just opened up because it just meant I just said no, no, no, no, no to almost everything. Busy, to me, seems to imply out of control, you know? People ask you to go to events or even people asking to do a phone call or anything. So I say no to almost everything. And then occasionally something will come up.

Pig City - Wag The Hog

So for the last six weeks all I did full-time, like 12 hours a day, was suddenly working on this brand-new thing that show that. Because I could. Where can people learn more and check out the Nownownow project? But where can people find more about Nownownow? If you go to nownownow. Like, working on, kind of stuff. How are you doing, what are you working on? I had one of those on my site.
