I like their founder's talks, Derek Sivers[1]. He's also got a good youtube channel[2].

Derek has a great blog as well[0], and has really great stories to share, especially about how he got started with CD Baby - which includes teaching himself web development (I believe it was PHP)!

I highly recommend Derek's book "Anything you want" http://sivers.org/a it's a great read. It's basically about the company he founded, CD Baby. After I read it I sent an email to Derek with a 'thank you' and he just replied the next day... He is great.

Couldn't agree more. Crazy how he had setup his own payment system for his merc in an age before paypal, and the good ethics toward other artists
