Jake Millar sold his first business, Oompher to Careers NZ at the age of 19. Now he splits his time between Auckland and New York running a 9 million dollar company and interviewing some of the most successful business celebrity people in the western world.

How did he get started? What or who influenced him? And how did a kid from Greymouth end up on the Forbes Magazine 30 under 30 people to watch list? It’s a fascinating interview where Jake talks about turning down a law scholarship and instead of Uni, setting up a business that disrupts conventional career pathways and advice.

That business was called OOmpher! and is now owned by Careers NZ. It features Jake interviewing people from all over NZ about their careers and how they got started. His first interview ever was with AJ Hackett of NZ Bungee fame. Follow Oompher on youtube for chats with Kings (and his music), dancers, lawyers, ex-prime ministers, chefs, top athletes, media presenters, racing car drivers…and so much more. Watch him with newsreader Simon Dallow.
