Amie Street Speaks Out

Amie Street

After meeting the founders of Amie Street last month, I just knew that I had to get them on MP Radio. So a few days ago Elias Roman and I linked up for the debut show of MP Radio. It was a very exciting show because it was the first time Elias got a chance to speak about Amie Street (podcast) — an indy music site that allows artist to sell their songs starting for free — and the first time I did an official radio show here on Mind Petals.

Here’s an outline of the topics discussed:

  • How Amie Street got started
  • Starting a business in college
  • Working with a team
  • Running a business from home
  • Viral marketing
  • Getting funding for your startup
  • How to package yourself to people

Amie Street is a company that is definitely going places. They have a strong team, positive attitude, and know the music industry just as much — or better — than an record label out there. Keep up the awesome work Amie Street!

MP Radio will be back every Friday with new shows, speaking to young entrepreneurs.

About David Askaripour

I've been thinking about life, existence, and truth for as long as I could remember. When I was about 7 I remember getting a headache trying to figure out who created God...and if someone created him, then who create him? I love investigating and testing, taking nothing for truth that outside my direct experience. At the age of 12, I started my own candy selling business; it grew so large that the principal ended up closing me down (but that was just the beginning...) Through my videos and articles, I share my journey with the world.
