Listen to our Bonus Podcast Interview with Simon Kim.
​
Simon Kim loved data and distribution networks long before they were the cool "it" thing they are today. Not only was he the first to bring Phone cards to Australia in the 90's but he was also integral in moving the Design & construction industry which was heavily reliant on physical printing to distribute information onto digital platforms.

Simon is all about the network that can be built and what can you do with that network. Not one to suffer from the "shiny new object" syndrome, he is calculated, methodical and has never lost sight of the fact that "People are at the center of everything".

A digital media man he has no social media profile as he just doesn't see the point. He hand chooses the clients he works with and underlines the point that easy access does not value add to your life. Intriguing.

Simon Kim sat down with Coach nicki for this bonus interview recorded live at the Logan 101fm studios for the Business 101 Show. ​
