10X Finland

10X Finland on täällä taas. Pandemian ajaksi podcast muutti nimensä Hybrid Timesiksi, mutta nyt on syytä keskittyä taas yrityksiin, rakenteisiin ja ideoihin, jotka toivottavasti tekevät Suomesta ja maailmasta 10 kertaa paremman.

    #110: Derek Sivers – Whatever Scares You, Go Do It!

    Derek Sivers has appeared on more than 250 podcasts, among them The Tim Ferriss Show and Modern Wisdom, but this is the only one he'll do this year, 2026. He is a musician, a programmer, an entrepreneur, a thinker and more than anything, an explorer. In the 1990s he was a full-time touring musician in New York when – to sell his and his friend's music on-line – he founded CD Baby. It became the largest seller of independent music in the world, over $100 million in sales for more than 150,000 musicians. In 2008 he sold it for $22 million and gave it all to a charitable trust for music education. Two years later he left America — to avoid a life of comfort — and says he'll probably never live there again.  Since then he's written five slim books, thick with wisdom. He gave one of the most quoted TED talks on leadership, about a shirtless guy dancing alone on a hillside who becomes a movement the moment someone else joins in. And for the past year he's been living with his 14-year-old son in a tiny, self-built cabin in New Zealand — a place they moved into with nothing but a mattress, to find out, piece by piece, what they actually need.In this wide-ranging conversation we discuss, among other things, why he gave away $22 million instead of keeping it, why 27 contradictory ways to live can all be true at once, what it means to give a child 21,000 hours of undivided attention, and why the thing that scares you is usually the thing you should go do. Here's Derek Sivers. Please enjoy!
