Entrepreneur Interview: Chris McClain of Chris McClain Productions

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Chris McClain about his videography business, Chris McClain Productions. One part of life that I absolutely enjoy is the arts, and so I had a great time learning about his work and also seeing some of the great videos… including his latest award-winning film… he’s created for other people. I’ve posted a couple of those videos in this interview.

Enjoy!

Chris MowerCan you tell me a little bit about yourself?

Chris McClainMy name is Chris McClain. I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am currently 31 years old, married almost 8 years. I have a son on the way coming in the next few weeks. It’s very exciting. And that’s pretty much been occupying most of my time for the last 9 months almost. We’re getting the house ready, child-proof type stuff, buying a crib, baby sheets, clothes, things like that. What else do you want to know about me? Read More…

 

Entrepreneur Interview: Abe Niederhauser, Founder of Ads4Africa.org

Abe Niederhauser, Founder of Ads4Africa.org

I was introduced to Abe Niederhauser through my friend and colleague, Travis Washburn, as we toured through Body Worlds 3 in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2008. I was immediately impressed with his down-to-earth yet energetic and creative drive.

A while after we met I learned that he’d launched Ads4Africa.org, a website focused on aiding entrepreneurs in poverty-stricken countries via microfinance loans. This immediately caught my attention as I’ve been following the microfinance work of Muhammad Yunus for years. I was impressed that Abe, probably in his mid-twenties, had such a large vision and was actively engaged in humanitarian work across the world, and that he had found a way to do so from his home with limited finances.

When the opportunity arrived to interview Abe, I quickly jumped at the chance to pick his brain and learn a little about his vision, his values, and his work with Ads4Africa.

I’ve posted our interview below. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
