Pretty much everyone can think of a tough boss they’ve had in the past, but how many of us were employed by an alleged sword wielding warrior?
Recently on the Kyle and Jackie O Show, Jackie revealed a rumour about the hosts’ former employer, Jeff Allis.

“Every time he would fire someone, he would slam [his] samurai sword down on his desk and there would be a mark there from everyone he ever fired,” Jackie alleged.
According to Jackie, Jeff had read American author Chin Ning Chu’s book Thick Face, Black Heart which outlines how to be a warrior in business.
Kyle and Jackie later both alleged that people were “scared of” Jeff.
Jeff is a titan in the radio industry and he was also the first person to see the potential of Aussie larrikins Hamish Blake and Andy Lee.
In 2000, he branched out into business with his wife Janine and founded Boost Juice. He left radio in 2007 to focus on the business, eventually establishing Retail Zoo.
Earlier this year Janine spoke to Travel Insider about what it’s like to run a business with your significant other.
“Working with your spouse has its challenges,” she said.
“There have been times when I’ve glared across the table at him. I could throttle him sometimes but I always put myself in other people’s shoes and I didn’t want a husband and wife bickering in meetings.”
The couple eventually figured out how to make it work. Janine said that they learned early on that if they work on the same project, it often “doesn’t end well”, so now they have complete responsibility for their respective areas.
