Startup like a rolling stone; trailblazing within the China music and event industry with Archie Hamilton founder and CEO of Split Works.

Building something that doesn't exist is what some entrepreneurs thrive on. The risk, challenges, and potential drove Archie Hamilton to pioneer an entire industry in China. Archie Hamilton founder and CEO of Split Works, started in 2006 to help build the music festival industry in China. Realizing that there was no audience here, he started to make up the rules and fought to understand his audience while learning how to survive, and built one of the greatest music festivals in China.

We talk with Archie about what it was like to jump into China, risking it all to build an international music festival scene. Archie talks about how to make up your own rules, be lean, and how the hard lessons of China business made him a better CEO. This is a great episode for the dreamers and believers who want to build their own empire in the East.
