James Marks of Whiplash is a former punk rocker, one-time vegan grocer, and entrepreneur who starts companies that he wished existed.

When he was 17, my guest opened a grocery store that sold vegan foodstuffs upstairs and put punk shows on in the basement.

He is the founder of screen printing maverick VGKids, whose clients include Coca-Cola, Mercedes Benz, IBM, Converse, and Nike.

James Marks is also the co-founder of Whiplash, the AirBnb of product fulfillment. He stumbled into fulfillment when his friend, the tour manager for the band Modest Mouse, asked him to help run the band’s web store. With a client list consisting mainly of bands, and independent music labels, Whiplash has grown its revenue to nearly $4 million annually.

Now, let’s hack…
