On today’s episode, we are talking with my former student Kevin, who started out selling freshwater aquarium shrimp out of his garage, and turned it into a multimillion-dollar company by the time he was 24! In a more informal style chat, Kevin and I talk about building a small business from scratch. Hear how Kevin parlayed that experience into becoming the Director of Product Launch for the number one crowdsourcing agency, Launch Boom.

Ep 22: Fishing Tales with Adam from YouTube’s Die Hard Fishing!
Tuesday Mar 01, 2022
Tuesday Mar 01, 2022
Producer Madison and I had a great time chatting with Adam from YouTube’s Die Hard Fishing! Adam’s channel really gained traction during shelter in place as many people were looking for things to do during quarantine. Fishing has deep Asian roots here in California and elsewhere. Listen to hear about Adam’s journey from a corporate job in Silicon Valley to hitting the waves in a kayak. Even Madison, who has never been fishing before, started to see how satisfying it could be to pull food from the ocean! And peep the picture of Curtis and his 8-year-old daughter on the day they OUTFISHED Adam!
Thanks to Adam for chatting with us. You can see hundreds of his great videos on the YouTube channel Die Hard Fishing, or follow him on Facebook or Instagram at the same name. As usual, you can email us here at Infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com or follow us @theinfatuasianpodcast on Instagram or Facebook.
