About this episode
Scott Cohen’s journey into entrepreneurship began long before The Orchard's inception. In 1997, when the online world was still in its infancy, Scott and his partner foresaw the digital revolution of music. He recalls, "We saw a world where people would be creating and consuming music digitally, both on the computer and on the mobile phone." This vision led to the creation of The Orchard on Orchard Street, despite the overwhelming odds against them at a time when dial-up modems were the norm, and online stores were non-existent.
