Episode 1 | Part 3: Tech With a Focus on Product/Partnerships
Description
Hear about the importance of trust and integrity when licensing at scale and distributing music on a large platform like YouTube. Learn about how one should distinguish between those opportunities that offer legitimacy and those that do not, particularly in the tech industry. Explore: What comes first, the tech or the vision? How do some companies succeed by iterating and fail by creating products for problems that do not exist? What happens when a tech product is created for one purpose but unintentionally disrupts another?
