Serial entrepreneur Kevin Johnson has several years of experience leading his multimillion-dollar marketing and communications company Johnson Media Inc., and has appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS, CNN, Oprah Radio, and in Forbes, The New York Times, Fast Company, and The Wall Street Journal. On top of all this, Kevin is an accomplished jazz pianist and speaks fluent Spanish. Quite the resume!

Kevin and I talked about when we first met back in 1999, how he built Johnson Media, and about his new book The Entrepreneur Mind. Can you believe that after fortysomething episodes I’m finally featuring someone from my alma mater?

You’re in for a really great conversation this week. I talked with the venerable Husani Oakley — creative technologist, technical director…the titles go on and on. He’s worked with some of the biggest agencies in the world like Wieden + Kennedy, Euro RSCG, and EVB, and he’s also had his own firm called Oakley + Partners.

We talked about Husani’s start with entrepreneurship, his spark for coding and creating, and what’s coming up for him in the future. Husani is a kick-ass force in this industry, and if you don’t know his name by now…well now you know.

Enjoy!
