Thank you so much. It’s a pleasure. I am honored. Thank you.

Thanks for being here, Jim. Will you give our readers a little bit about your story and your focus?

The most important thing was I got fired from Coca-Cola at the age of 23 or something like that and my life was over. I had one goal in life that was to be the CEO of Coca-Cola and had done my entire academic career. Everything was designed with that in mind, including where I got my MBA and everything. They didn’t like me. They had two big guys ask me to leave the building and they helped me leave the building. I was devastated. I asked my friend who was a mentor at Coke. He’s the guy who invented drinks that you drink every day and the famous best selling drinks. He said, “Jim, you’re not cut out to be a corporate person. You should be an entrepreneur.” I’m like, “What?” He’s like, “You need to start a business.” It had never occurred to me and that thought was completely crazy to me, but I had no other choice, at that point, we’re talking ’93 or ’94. It was a bad job market. I kept getting job offers but all of them involved going back to Japan, where I come from and I didn’t want to do that. I was tired of that. That was the Coke thing. It was easier than to start a business than to find a job but that’s the exact opposite now. Back then, finding a job was difficult. I started my first business when I was 23.

What a story from trying to run up the corporate ladder to being fired to starting your own company at 23 and becoming an entrepreneur. Fast forward, what’s your focus now?

Largely, it’s helping other people become entrepreneurs, but I’m still starting businesses. I’m mostly involved in the podcast space. I don’t mean that from the fact that I have my podcast radio show. I’m talking about something different. I’ve started a business that I like. I hate this analogy, but I will use it and anyway, all of the people who got rich from the California Gold Rush, name some of those people. There was a guy named Wells, Fargo, Levi, and Strauss. All of those people provided infrastructure to people who didn’t make money in the gold rush and the podcast space is similar. I’ve started a podcast infrastructure business that will help podcasters in a significant way. That’s what I’m doing. I’m in the podcast space as a business, not as a content producer, though I do produce content.
