What was your biggest failure when starting your business?
We tried two separate times to follow the model the massive Korean entertainment companies had made millions off of, and failed both times. We didn’t have the money and the music artists to compete with the big guys, and that was really hurting our efforts.
How did that challenge strengthen you?
It forced me to think outside the box and focus on other areas within the music industry where we could fit in well and even stand out.
What advice would you give someone in your shoes?
No one likes to talk about or think about failure, but you have to think about what you’re going to do if you fail, and what you can do to keep from failing again. It was embarrassing to try and fail two different times, but I wouldn’t have been able to find success if I had given up. My best successes are still ahead of me.
