Meet our guest
Name: James Slusser
What they do: James has served as a senior advisor to multinational corporations and startups, helping to craft corporate strategies, define and achieve marketing goals, and improve organizational effectiveness.
He currently runs Kurkuma, a marketing consultancy for startups in the Web3 and crypto space.
Fun facts: In 2016, after a successful career in finance, marketing and consulting, James was planning to retire. Somehow that didn’t quite work out as he ended up learning how to code for iOS on his own. James really enjoys cooking, which is where the inspiration for his brand name came from.
Where to reach them:
Understanding the significance of your brand name in relation to the domain is critical. And consistency is the most important factor for me. You want to own your domain across as many services that are relevant to your area as possible because you want your customers to be able to find you no matter what.
James Slusser
My advice to people who are afraid to try something new is to jump in and give it a shot. Because if it’s something you’re interested in and it resonates with you, you can absolutely do it.
