The UnNoticed Entrepreneur with Jim James

He founded his first company at 27 in Singapore after deciding he wasn’t interested in a corporate career. Jim and Joe discuss the lessons he learned from starting his first business, the importance of getting your brand noticed, and how to become an author. Jim now hosts The UnNoticed Entrepreneur podcast and helps entrepreneurs make their business stand out from the crowd.

His first brush with getting noticed was at 18 when he jumped out of a plane in return for sponsorship and received expedition equipment in return for media publicity. He hasn’t stopped this model of brand+business building ever since.   Having grown up in Europe, Africa and America, it was perhaps inevitable that Jim would move to Singapore at the age of 27 to start his first company, EASTWEST Public Relations. Since 1995 the B2B agency opened offices in Singapore, China, India and the UK serving over 500 clients. In China between 2006–2019, Jim built the business importing and distributing Morgan Motor Company cars, was interim CEO of Lotus, Vice Chair of the Chamber of Commerce and a number of other profit and not for profit ventures including the bi-annual British Business Awards.   Jim returned with his young family to the UK in June 2019 to provide his daughters with a British education, and works with clients to ensure that they are able to get noticed for all that they do, and helps companies to enter the Asia market. He hosts “The UnNoticed Show,” a podcast for entrepreneurs with tools and tips for public relations.   Join the conversation on Facebook!
