Ep. 11 Jack Lantz
Jack Lantz
I really don’t know how to describe Jack other eccentric gazillionaire. The problem is, he isn’t eccentric at all, he just has some pretty diverse tastes. I really tried to capture the Lantz essence in my few hours with him. He worked at a company that uses and creates micro-electronics, robots, and lasers. He has an amazing toy train collection. Jack even writes music and performs in a Big Band. All of that pales in comparison to his fascination with Asian culture. His connection to Japan is strong, and his world class Japanese Wood Block Art was the subject of an incredible book, which is appropriately titled:
Japanese Woodblock Prints: Artists, Publishers and Masterworks: 1680 – 1900

He has turned that childhood into a life-long passion, becoming quite an amateur historian along the way. We talked about his childhood there, his interaction with inmates, and the various dramatic escape attempts.
