About Soul Purpose

Soul Purpose

Culture moves at broadband speed Soul Purpose slows it just long enough for you to see the wiring and build with it.

I’m James Andrews—brand architect → venture builder → global DJ (a.k.a. DJ Rich Cacao) who now toggles between boardrooms and turntables from Los Angeles to Dubai; founder of Authenticated Ventures, Creator Mode Studios, and Borderless. I’ve advised Nike, Beats by Dre, TED, and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 team, helped Afro-Brazilian fintechs raise capital, sound-tracked Soho House rooftops as DJ Rich Cacao, and coached Kevin Garnett, Jane Fonda, and DJ Jazzy Jeff on owning their digital legacies. Back when I answered to Andy Platnum, a 1999 email blast grew into 20 000 insiders and a front-page Wall Street Journal spread. Now I translate those receipts into a weekly signal for people who refuse to let algorithms dull their palette.
