This week I (Chris) discus happiness and balance with hobo ecommerce entrepreneur James Ferrer of tokyowheel.jp.
I caught up with James in between Jiujitsu training and surfing in Phuket where he’s been living for a few months. James is a super positive guy with a great business mind and he’s always a joy to be with. Spending a few days with him in Phuket totally reset my brain into making happiness more of a priority in my life, so I sat him down placed a mic on the table and coaxed the wisdom out of his smiling mouth.
