United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 พ.ย. 2017
In this podcast series, we hit the road to find and sit down with incredible founders, entrepreneurs, and creators who are behind some of the world’s most successful and up-and-coming startups, businesses and movements to document their stories and inspire listeners to turn their ideas into actions.
Niki Nakayama | Two-Michelin-Starred Chef and Owner of n/naka
Niki Nakayama’s cooking is driven by intuition. At her two-Michelin-starred restaurant, n/naka in West Los Angeles, she masters modern kaiseki, a Japanese dining discipline focused on taste, texture, and presentation. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nakayama began her culinary career at Takao restaurant in Brentwood and refined her skills in Japan. She later opened Azami Sushi Café, gaining fame for her omakase menu.
At n/naka, Nakayama creates exquisite, seasonally-inspired dishes, making it one of L.A.’s toughest reservations. The restaurant has been on the Los Angeles Times’ “101 Best Restaurants” list annually since 2013 and has garnered widespread media attention. Nakayama was a James Beard Foundation Award finalist for Outstanding Chef in 2023.
Sustainability is key at n/naka, with 70% of ingredients sourced locally. Nakayama’s kaiseki philosophy highlights natural flavors and seasonal purity. During the pandemic, Nakayama and her wife, Carole Iida-Nakayama, launched n/soto in West Adams, starting as a takeout restaurant and later becoming an izakaya-inspired eatery.

What an Episode! I hooked.

Andrew Dudum, CEO and founder of Telemedicine company Hims & Hers has developed a chronic condition known as Alissa Heinerscheid syndrome. This is the same condition developed by Alissa Heinerscheid (of Bud Light fame) who destroyed the Bud Light brand forever by injecting her sick views of the world thus driving the Bud Light brand at high speed into the toilet.
🤮
“If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working.” - Andrew Dundum. Wow, what possessed him to insert his brand in support of these student terrorist who cannot even show their faces while wreaking havoc.
Never realized that nazis have so many problems getting an erection.
He is an anti semite. Forget him and his company.
Hamas supporter, seems your stock is dropping. 26% down.
😂 Well, he just killed his company.
You may think that on the surface there is widespread evil, but on the inside there is great good. His company will grow bigger than it was before, God willing
He's the CEO of antisemitism.
Is the chicken halal (permissible for Muslims to eat)
Is it safe to drink one 16oz bottle of GT’s daily? How much iodine is in one bottle?
She is awe inspiring 🧜♀️
Ben is a hustler! True watch geek.
Great interview, I’ve started a juice business and this was extremely educational. Thank you and Hayden Slater
Drama has been monumental for me as I’ve become an entrepreneur. Ohio kids gotta stick together. I miss his podcast so much.
Great CEO,, great interview,, thank you
I collect MGA: Rainbow High, Lol OMG and Nananas ;) I am totally curious about this very special toy company especially now they are rebooting Rainbow High into Rainbow world Such an interesting man. My dad's generation. Thank you very much for sharing. I could listen to him for hours
Really enjoyed this interview. An incredible story. Anne is very inspirational! And the final comments on history of the pretzel is a wonderful way to “end” this story.
When was this recorded? at the end you said ''hopefully we can meet in person one day once this whole thing is done''. I assume you meant Covid by that, so was this recorded a few years ago?
This episode was originally released on podcast platforms on March 29, 2021. Most episodes of the show have recently been uploaded to TH-cam.
ahh i see. thanks!@@thefounderhour
Awesome interview. Love HIMS!
Great CEO! This company will be hugh in a few years
great interview. compelling service offerings
First view, like & comment! Wow this is a first
Hi guys, I just found your podcast. One thing u could do to get more views is to make video-podcast as they are getting more popular. Great content tho!
hi!beautiful ~see you later~ 💥
How do you feel about me
bedros according to reviews is a horrible manager/boss/leader and a scammer grifter conman swindler
I love that…a Daisy doesn’t wish that it was a rose…a sunflower doesn’t either…we’re all beautiful flowers and let’s just embrace ourselves and be happy and confident in our own skin
Honestly one of the dopest podcasts right now!
She's so amazing to listen to.
Ari Mir, your company Clutter is garbage. You are currently screwing over tons of customers including me. I've reported several complaints. I've been talking on the phone and emailing your Customer Service Team Lead and you are not honoring your contract and are over charging me THOUSANDS of dollar. Im submitting complaints EVERYWHERE; BBB, California G, Yelp, Google, Consumer Reports, California Consumer Protection... and then I'm suing your company to get my money back. Stop scamming people!
This food ultimate junk food there can be.
Thank you for sharing.. What a great rags to riches story. Absolutely great chicken.
Wow, you fake guy rather stop changing people cookies on websites and stop saying fake things because it's on youtube and you're exposed and stop saying fake things, what are we your customers for you to hack us. And probably you confused search "is honey fake?" there will be millions of videos why honey is fake.
What an awesome interview! Thank you!
Nice to see a follow up interview with Ryan post sale of Honey to PayPal!
Great interview took some great notes :)
How much does it cost to open a franchise like this??
I think it maybe $500,000. I just started working at the one that opened in Toronto, Canada and it's insanely busy. We're in the most severe stage in Covid lockdowns here in Toronto, and we still have hundreds of people lining up to eat. people are showing up 45 minutes before we open just to get in the front of the line.
Great family !! Especially Vito
Loved the whole family, we were neighbors, lived across the street and they were the best.

You should've shot a photo of bird shooting that fadeaway from the post to go ahead game 4 1984 finals in LA...missed that one hehe. I always loved this photo incidentally
This guy's great. the music's at the end, sounds like an italian riverier gondola, overlooking st marks sq.
Great author. I enjoy listening to his pragmatic wisdom. He doesn't talk fiction or politically compliant opinions and facts.
Hey guys, I really enjoyed this podcast. I think you guys loosened up the conversation nicely with some sports talk which naturally transitioned to more serious conversation. I have one small critique: a couple times in the video you guys interrupted Robert while he was still finishing his point. If you could be more patient with the interviewee, I think that would make your interview even better. Really good content, subscribed and looking forward to more!!
Been on a Robert Greene Interview kick, also using Audible to listen to 33 Strategies of War, Laws of Human Nature, and Art of Seduction. Great interview and this writer is great. Buying more physical books since my preference (already read the concise 48 laws of power in paperback ). Must read author (go for physical books, imo).
@razor blade True dat. We have those experiences as opportunities to learn from. I prefer active, but in a history buff so I enjoy historic comparison to his descriptions. TH-cam has a ton of the content also
One of the best interviews I’ve listened to of Robert Greene
How does video have barely no views !!!
Love Howlin Rays! 😭😭😭
