While Jimi Petulla has been associated with the entertainment industry in a variety of means (as an actor, filmmaker, radio broadcaster and teacher), his role as an entrepreneur has permeated every element of his career. In every role he has actually occupied, Petulla (Jimi Petulla 0 has actually been an out-of-the-box thinker, establishing cutting-edge ways to fix basic problems.

As a radio broadcaster-turned-educator, as an example, Jimi Petulla saw that the radio broadcasting trade school where he was teaching at the time had a really inadequate job placement rate, which he attributed in part to the diploma-mill teaching techniques of the school itself, processing students through the course without really connecting them to the radio market. He created an alternative technique: train radio students as apprentices working in real radio stations, where they could get linked to the industry as they were learning. His proposition of this method ended as a chuckling stock of the school's administration and for this reasion, Petulla established his own schools and established it. He made his vision happened, placed a lot of learners into real radio stations effectively, and saw them launch their careers in the industry. He ultimately broadened his reach to the film and recording industries, positioning his students in these environments as well. Jimi Petulla's school, the Recording, Radio and Film Connection, he as the innovator and the mentor-apprentice learning technique are being advised and known by top specialists in the industry today.

However Jimi Petulla's function as an entrepreneur didn't stop with the founding of a school. Throughout his work in movie as an actor and film writer, Petulla observed the restrictions of expression that often taken place when filmmakers had to count on significant studios and distribution outlets to get their films shown. He felt there was a much better way to reach the target audience, one that did not need to include distribution outlets. So when he wrote, produced and starred in his own independent film Reversal, Petulla took a various route. Instead of courting the favor of the movie industry executives, he connected directly to his target audience. Because Reversal was a movie about amateur wrestling, he placed advertisements in wrestling publications, approached Olympic wrestlers and other influencers in the fumbling neighborhood, and began producing interest in his film while it was still in production. By the time Reversal was launched, an excited audience was currently awaiting it. The film went on to become successful and profitable, even winning awards at a number of movie festivals. Reversal today is held up as an example to other independent filmmakers for the best ways to produce and disperse movies to a target market without the assistance of major distribution.

entrepreneur has had an amazing and varied profession, however his role as an entrepreneur remains to inform every project he comes across.
