We've known each other since before either of us gained audiences so sitting down to talk about how to responsibly reach those audiences while on the mic with them is an introspective affair. She is one of the best musicians we know, one of the smartest people we've met, and one of the most interesting women you could come across. She believes that the Future is Female and we're on board with that idea after this chat. We hope you will be, as well.    3:05 - Is google consciously not that female friendly?    4:55 - Jessica Wethington Mclean: http:\/\/nightonbroadway.la\/bio\/jessica-wethington-mclean\/ http:\/\/nightonbroadway.la   5:15 - Kiran\u2019s thoughts on stay home dads and taking on roles as a parent   6:15 - Kiran gives a little run down on who she is and what she does   7:10 - http:\/\/thieverycorporation.com   7:45 - http:\/\/eighteenthstreetlounge.com   10:04 - What was your major in college?   10:55 - Within Kiran\u2019s first two months of living in Los Angeles she got a full time job at Interscope as their first ever digital analyst.   11:03 - http:\/\/www.interscope.com   14:05 - Did you set out a goal to make a job out of your internship before they gave you an official job?   15:18 - How did you navigate from Interscope to Spotify?   17:00 - Was going to school for your MBA worth it?   17:05 - https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/us\/   18:05 - Speaking confidently and critically has helped Kiran as a consultant and an artist.   18:35 - Did you start your own company?    19:00 - http:\/\/www.sfmusictech.com\/speakers\/ https:\/\/kirangandhi.com\/2015\/11\/04\/future-of-music-policy-summit-2015\/   19:15 - Kiran explains how doing free panels has helped her   21:00 - https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/us\/   21:17 - Streaming services   21:55 - Kiran\u2019s business plan and how she thinks artists should be getting paid a bigger percentage    23:09 - The dangers of labels knowing what music is more valuable than others and how that makes artists change their music   24:48 - Kiran explains what \u201cgating content\u201d means.   26:22 - Where do you listen to your music at?   27:55 - Kiran\u2019s thoughts on artists putting their own music onto Spotify    30:41 - Are you on Spotify?
