Ken Furukawa was a frustrated employee.
He came from a traditional marketing background and devised a cost-effective plan for his company.
Such was his confidence his strategy would work…
He declared his boss could fire him if it didn’t.
Despite this, he was never given the opportunity to put it to the test.
So, he quit.
Ken ventured into the world of online marketing…
And found his way to YouTube.
Initially, he was apprehensive about appearing on camera.
But, discovered the key to building a successful personal brand was to become the face of it.
Now, he runs a successful channel which attracts thousands of views every month…
And has also branched out into podcasting, co-hosting The Affiliate Files with a previous guest on the show, Garry Baker.
