Episode 58: Fernando Pires

My guest, Fernando Pires, describes himself as fundamentally a problem-solver, with a remarkable ability to learn, and then implement his new found knowledge. A relentless entrepreneur, engineer and musician who has created a total of 5 patents and founded 2 companies in the decade between 2008 and 2018, creating and providing amazing consumer electronics for podcasters, voice-over artists, musicians and car-audio enthusiasts.

Fernando was originally born and raised in São Paulo - Brazil. And thanks to his current employer, KICKER, who sponsored him to become a permanent U.S. resident in 2016 - he now proudly calls the U.S. his home.

He is also the creator and President of Audiosigma that produces the PodMobileTM; an ultra-portable audio recording interface designed specifically for Podcasters and Voice Actors. Although they are a small startup company, their minds are set to grow into a "brick & mortar" business, where people not only work, but feel as though they are part of his extended family. Highly inspired by Steve Irby, the founder of KICKER, a business that’s been thriving for over 50 years, Fernando strives and plans to do the same thing with his company.

As if being a full-time employed engineer, creator and president of your own company wasn’t enough, Fernando also self-published ‘Jump Start’; a short, sweet, and to the point book designed to jumpstart your life now, while working on your dreams for the future.

Fernando’s work ethic is the ground upon which he builds any endeavor and he strongly believes that education can come from multiple sources; and when skills meet genuine good intentions, progress happens!
