Today’s guest is an artist, musician and entrepreneur who made his first record when he was 12, began playing in clubs when he was 14 and started his own music publishing company at 18.
My guests passion for music and technology led him to found
music licensing firm Rumblefish in his college dorm room. The
company quickly achieved the industry’s first podcast license,
fully automated online music licensing store and inked a
ground-breaking micro-licensing deal with YouTube.
Rumblefish

He is a devoted member of the entrepreneurial & creative
communities in the pacific northwest as the co-founder of popular
guitar pedal company Spaceman, start-up accelerator Starve Ups, and
TEDxPortland.
