Summary
"Simply put, Michael Dorf is a true hustler. When the internet upended the music business, he wasn't romantic to the way things were done and like any great entrepreneur, focused on what's happening today. It has been fun for me to watch Michael operate in this ever-changing world. There is a lot that can be learned from this man." -Gary Vaynerchuk, Founder and CEO, VaynerMedia; and author, Crushing It. As founder of the iconic Knitting Factory music venue in New York, Michael Dorf became one of the earliest pioneers of digital music in the '90s and found himself addicted to the seductive promise of the Internet. But losing everything in the dot-com bust led to a renewed appreciation for the sensory pleasures of life and inspired him to gamble big with his latest crazy idea: Launching a wine-making facility in the middle of Manhattan for patrons who could also have dinner in a cozy three-hundred-seat venue while watching concerts by artists such as Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, and Esperanza Spalding. After surviving another economic cataclysm in 2008, Dorf found that his City Winery concept worked beautifully. Trapped in a digital bubble, people are eager for the visceral, sensory experiences he offers. In Indulge Your Senses, Dorf tells riveting tales from his wild ride through three decades of business escapades and dispenses invaluable wisdom for readers who are struggling to balance the virtual and the real in a world awash in technology
