Ep.199 ~ Using Music to Learn a Language & Making it a Business ~ Idahosa Ness
~ Current Series ~
Interviewing 100 Entrepreneurs w/ $100k Businesses in 100 Days
On today’s episode, we are joined by the musician, artist, creative genius and founder of The Mimic Method, Idahosa Ness. The Mimic Method is a system of learning a foreign language that uses sounds and accent before learning the words of a language. Idahosa came up with this concept while practicing music in Brazil. This is the way children learn to speak and learn rapidly, why couldn’t adults do it too?
Fast forward to today, and The Mimic Method has helped thousands of students grow their language skills. Idahosa chats with us today about the ups and downs of growing this business, his own personal struggles of team building and we also chat about life/business philosophy.
