Moon Audio's Startup Recipe For Success

Friends +Drew Baird and +Nichole Baird at my favorite #startup http://www.Moon-Audio.com reminded me why they and the company they've created for high-end audiophiles is so special:

I've met many #startups  and most have a single issue on their mind - how to scale, win and be heroes. Drew, Nichole, and the team at Moon-Audio.com demonstrate what it takes to succeed daily:

* Love what you do
* Do what you love no matter what
* Express your inner artist in product and treatment of people
* Share, Share and Share some more
* Be more generous than deserved
* Rinse and Repeat

We live in a strange time, a time where it is easy to forget what really matters. I had to battle #cancer  to discover the single word answer to what matters - people. Life is always about relationships you create, experiences you value, and the journey you and we are all on. 

Sirens sing a seductive and misleading chorus. I like +Amazon.com's low prices, but I LOVE +Moon-Audio.com because Drew and Nichole are a light in the tunnel, a light for all garage bands, growth hackers and dreamers. Do what you love, love what you are doing and who you are doing it with and life is good, scale happens and you hear guitars and trumpets you've never heard before. 

Digital Music Is Exploding

Small Business Saturday
Our favorite Small Business Saturday is Moon Audio. (http://www.Moon-Audio.com). Moon Audio is home of #headphones with DRAGONS.

Dragons are Drew Baird's creation of better audio cable. Better audio cables mean great headphones like Fostex or Audeze sound amazing and good "cans" such as my Shure SE846s sound great.

We listen to so much music and depend on our earphones and headphones to shut out an increasingly noisy world, so #listenbetter is our motto and our friends at Cary, NC based Moon Audio make that possible.

If your headphones don't have dragons they don't sound as good as they could & that's why http://www.Moon-Audio.com is our choice for #smallbusinesssaturday. What about you? What small businesses did you support today?

Digital Music Gurus
Wow figuring out how to help our music sound great in all the new ways we listen to it makes our head hurt. Luckily we have an engineer friend who helps (surprising how often that happens).  Drew Baird, Moon-Audio.com's founder, is a creative electrical engineering genius. 

How do I know that? I'm listening to music powered by his Dragon Audiio Cables right now (and it sounds so sweet). Skeptical about the difference cables can make?

I was too until I listened to my Shure SE846 earphones for a year without Drew's cables. You would need to pry my Silver Dragons from my cold dead hand now (sound is that good).  

In this post Drew shares how to move music from iTunes to a DAP. Itunes compression isn't the best so music detail can be lost. Crazy to have great equipment and poor recordings. Drew explains how your music can escape iTunes and sound great. 

Drew At Rocky Mountain Audio Festival
Headphones guru and http://www.Moon-Audio.com  Founder Drew Baird is at the Rock Mountain Audio Festival (RMAF) this weekend answering questions about hacking your headphones, DACs & media players.

If you want the music you love to sound better stop by and talk to Drew at the Tech Marriott in the Can Jam room.
