Welcome to Digital Nomad Ventures! In this episode of the podcast I have a fascinating conversation with Robert Lee at Capital Factory in Austin, Texas. Robert is a career entrepreneur who sometimes refers to himself as the Forrest Gump of high tech. His diverse adventures encompass computer programming and hardware design, marketing consulting, advertising and electronic payment systems. As the founder and chief strategist behind successful businesses in both the U.S. and Canada, Lee and his companies have received national media exposure that included coverage in the New York Times and the front page of PC Week. In 1983, Lee launched his technology career with SpectraFAX Corp., a developer, manufacturer and marketer of color image processing products for office automation, computer graphics and desktop publishing applications. SpectraFAX digital scanners were designed to convert color or black-and-white photographic images and text into a digital format that could be entered into, and stored on, a personal computer. He holds several patents in the field of payment transactions and digital imaging. During his professional career, he has founded and built a number of successful businesses in the United States and Canada. He attended school in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and also completed various computer-programming courses in Toronto. Enjoy listening to this episode of Digital Nomad Ventures!
