BIOGRAPHY:

Growing up in Berkeley, Calif., during a time where men were the ones who ran and owned businesses, Karen had that idea in her head. But she broke that stereotype when she founded Amoeba Music, the largest independent record store in the world. Today, Karen is the co-owner and general manager of Amoeba Music in Hollywood, Calif.
