Check out this interview with Feed Media Group hosted by Jeff Yasuda.

The Big Takeaway: There are a lot of exciting verticals for music outside of just the explosion of growth in streaming.

Culture is not a contributor to our success - culture is itself our business strategy. Building culture along with continuous personal and team development are at the core of our business.

Our objective is to establish Nfluence as a Deliberately Developmental Organization ("DDO"). A DDO is organized around the deceptively simple but radical conviction that organizations will best prosper when they are deeply aligned with people’s strongest motive, which is to grow. In a DDO, organizational life, including the company’s principles, practices, and form of community, are in deep alignment to promote individual development throughout the organization.

If you are interested in learning more about our culture and individual growth, check out the white paper link below.
