What we talked about.
Darrel Sheinman's episode starts inside Gearbox's mastering studio and opens out into a much bigger story about technology, risk and taste. He talks about moving from financial trading into satellite ship tracking, maritime security and then back towards the music he had loved since childhood, building a record label around analogue sound, physical media and the stubborn value of staying on the path.
This episode explores:
- How does a derivatives trader end up building a record label and mastering studio?
- What did ship tracking, oil trading and maritime security teach Darrel about spotting opportunity?
- Why does he think survival in business is often about staying in the game long enough for luck to find you?
- Why is the economics of running an independent record label so difficult now?
- Can tokenised vinyl give artists and real fans a more direct relationship?
- Why might analogue technology still matter in a world built around digital convenience?
