    31 Years in Custom Clothing with Richard Emery
    2026/09/03
    In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Richard Emery of Tom James Company to talk about his 31 years in the clothing business. We discuss how he got started, the challenges of building a client base, and how men’s fashion has changed from pleated pants and broad shoulders to slimmer styles and more casual workplaces. Richard explains why fit matters more than anything else when it comes to looking professional and shares the four suits he believes form the foundation of a man’s wardrobe. We also talk about Tom James’ approach of meeting clients at their office or home, taking measurements, and building clothing around the individual. Richard shares lessons from decades in business, including the importance of doing the uncomfortable work that others avoid, staying productive, and continuing to learn. We also discuss how technology has changed his sales process and why making a strong first impression still matters.

  • Building the Future of Wearable Technology with Chima Imoh

    Building the Future of Wearable Technology with Chima Imoh
    2026/09/01
    In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I chat with Chima Imoh, founder and CEO of MíMíroír Technologies, a Charleston-based company developing modular wearable technology. Chima explains how his system places sensors on specific parts of the body to collect data where the movement is actually happening, rather than relying on one wearable location to measure everything. We talk about how the company has moved from an idea to working hardware and an app, along with new partnerships, an accelerator program, and the start of a pre-seed fundraising round. Chima also shares his path into entrepreneurship after spending ten years incarcerated and how that experience shaped his approach to business and life. We discuss the importance of investing in yourself, building relationships, understanding technology, learning new skills, and earning trust from customers and investors. Chima also explains how faith and family continue to guide the way he builds his company and plans for the future.

    Suits, Sales, and Career Changes with Alexander Anderson
    2026/08/27
    In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Alexander Anderson of Tom James Company to talk about his work as a professional clothier and what he has learned since changing careers. Alex explains how he helps clients choose clothing based on their profession, schedule, and personal needs. We discuss his move from freight brokerage into the clothing industry, why selling directly to individuals changed his approach to sales, and how important communication and organization are to his work. We also look at the shift from suits toward business casual clothing and signs that more formal office dress may be returning in larger cities. Alex shares what he has learned from visiting other Tom James offices and how Charleston differs from larger markets. We wrap up by talking about entrepreneurship, accountability, respect, and his belief in treating people the way you want to be treated.
