Summary

Beginning with being the webmaster for the Beastie Boys in the early 1990s, Ian Rogers’ career took off and helped forge the digital music landscape as we know it today. In 2003, Rogers was plucked to head up Yahoo’s $140 million music service and spent the next twenty years bringing digital music to the mainstream—after Yahoo, with Beats and then Apple. In 2015, he helped launch Apple Music and Beats 1, their digital streaming channel. Soon after, he stunned the tech world when he left Apple to become the Chief Digital Officer at LVMH, working with a portfolio of nearly one hundred brands across luxury, including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Sephora, and Hennessy. After five years at LVMH, Ian made another interesting career shift, joining the crypto security firm Ledger, where he is currently the CEO. ------- Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra Get a free box of Dry Roasted Namibian Sea Salt Macadamias + 20% off Your Order With Code TETRA ------- Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra ------- LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Get a free LMNT Sample Pack with your order.
