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.
