The Rim Break Business Podcast: Recent Episodes
Bike Budie
I met Jeanne Song (President of MyDo) in Argentina and we got to chat for a little bit!!
We talk about her previous career in casting, as well as marketing her friend's products. Then she thought to herself, "why not me?" and so, Song started her own Korean Skincare line, MyDo - Let's start at the very beginning!
Song was also interested in singing growing up. And if you are familiar with the classic movie "Sound of Music (1965)" the scene "Do-Re-Mi" heavily inspired MyDo, hence the name My 'DO' and the slogan "let's start at the very beginning."
We conducted the interview in a hotel lobby... so please excuse the outside noises and distractions : )
Please check out the MyDo website, buy a bottle or 2 and follow their instagram!

Thanks again for listening!
Hope you enjoy the episode! : )
I was fortunate enough to interview Blayne Ladner and his wife Yazmina Delgado, who both own and founded the Super Gourmet Coffee Shop in Panama!
In 2006 after Hurricane Katrina, Ladner moved to Panama as a fresh reset. He worked in the real estate industry previously and eventually ventured into entrepreneurship over the years.
After having many morning business meetings but no real place for coffee and breakfast. In 2007 he decided to solve the problem and startup Super Gourmet! Which is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Casco Viejo in Panama; the area is rich in history and has beautiful Spanish architecture.
In the interview we talk about how his influences, and how being around people who takes chances which helped him make the move to Panama, as well as the importance of living and investing in your community!
Thank you again to Blayne Ladner and Yazmina Delgado for the interview and great coffee!
Please visit Panama! And Super Gourmet Casco Viejo!!

The Pink Palace of the Pacific. The Royal Hawaiian might be the most important hotel in Waikiki's history and even Hawaii's history. It established the tone & image of what people think of Hawaii today. Matson Navigation Co. used the Royal Hawaiian as a marketing scheme to curate the image of laid back people, calm joyful music, palm trees swaying, crashing waves, lots of bright flowers and all around beautiful nature all combining it with the rich Hawaiian culture and history.

Update: The Lurline and the Daniel K. Inouye Vessels are both up an running! This was a hefty $500M investment for the company! Glad to see the modernization efforts are on time and the Vessels making trips to and from Hawaii!
From sending 300 tons of plantation supplies to Hawaii and bringing back 300 tons of Hawaiian sugar back to the mainland. Captain William Matson and Claus Spreckels saw this opportunity niche and filled it. From cargo to passenger ships, Matson played a pivotal role in the Hawaiian shipping and tourism industry.

Mountain Biking today seems almost too perfect. Expensive and lightweight carbon bikes with full suspension, slick paint jobs, perfect nature trails, big air, the list goes on. It wasn't always this way. Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly paved the path with cheap $5 Klunker/Beater bikes, modding them and going down the mountain... hence the name "mountain bikes." It's a rocky journey but what they did revolutionized the Bike industry forever!

I had the opportunity to interview my friend and old classmate about home brewing, beer culture, his family's association with beer (Piel's Beer), brewing competitions, big beer, weird beer and other fun topics. Please enjoy the episode! We also touched on why Tony Magee (Founder of Lagunitas) just wanted more people to enjoy his beer.
(also please excuse the audio for the last half of the episode, it gets pretty rocky, thanks for listening to the end!)

Tony Magee started off brewing with a simple home brew kit and the hobby kept scaling up as time progressed. Lagunitas is all about story telling and communicating with other people. They use beer as a "lubricant for social intercourse." And remember "Beer Speaks, People Mumble."

In the early 2000's, Piracy was at its peak. Many users used file sharing sites like Napster, The Pirate Bay and many others to share stolen music. This caused the music industry to lose billions of dollars in revenue each year. So in 2006, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon went out to solve this problem of piracy to help fairly compensate artists and record labels for their work. And thus Spotify was born!
