FAR OUT #81 ~ Derek Sivers on Identity, Freedom & Singing the Counter Melody
Episode Description
Is there such a thing as too much freedom?
If anybody were to know, Derek might be the guy. Derek quit his last job in 1992 and in 2008 he sold his business, CD Baby, to the tune of $22 million.
Over the years he's been a professional musician, a circus ringleader, an entrepreneur, a world traveler, a popular TED speaker and a book publisher. He writes at www.sivers.org.
We explore with Derek how to move on from an expired identity, what does freedom mean anyway, how to follow what's interesting to you and how we might travel in the future.
Listen and explore:
When to say yes to everything and when to say hell yea or no
Why Derek doesn’t want to fit in
What it means to be local vs. global
The value in singing the counter melody
Derek’s journaling process
Why you should make saying “no” your default
Where to look if you don’t know what you want
