In this episode you’ll hear about:

-Early childhood inclinations towards learning how things are made (no surprise that toys like Legos and Kinex piqued his interest).

-How Startup Weekend changed the course of his career and led him to his cofounder.

-James’ innate salesmanship. Whether it was half of his lunch or his own drawings, James was selling even back in elementary school.

-Why his outgoing personality helps with hiring.

-How getting into Techstars made him take the leap to full time entrepreneurship.

-How continually challenging himself from a young age gave him the hustle he needed to be a founder.

Finally, we’ll end with a few quick fun questions and learn who James could interview if he had the chance (hint: it’s not who you’d expect).
