Jun Loayza is the Co-Founder and CMO of Future Delivery.

This is my second interview and its with none other that Jun Loayza. If you don’t know why it’s a lifestyle to be an Entrepreneur, you definitely should read why Jun has NEXT.

Who are you?

My name is Jun Loayza and I am the founder of Future Delivery where we’re building Viralogy, the social media rank. I currently host a show called Awesome Revolution, am a contributor for Personal Branding Blog, and have written for Mashable. I grew up in Southern California and graduated from UCLA in 2007 with a degree in Economics and Philosophy. I love hitting up the gym, playing basketball, surfing, and my girlfriend Kim Ear.

Please explain what you do (career) in ten words?

I rank people based on social influence online.

What is your claim to “Fame”?

Hopefully my show Awesome Revolution has made me at least a little bit famous in the blogosphere.

You are most notable for “JunLoayza.com“, tell us about that?

I started my personal blog last year as a way to document my successes and struggles as a young entrepreneur. I am generating income from my blog (nothing major but at least it pays for my phone and gym bills), and have leveraged my blog to meet some amazing people online. When Viralogy.com become a hit, I see more and more people using my blog as a source of inspiration to start their own ventures.

How has it gone?

Like I said, JunLoayza.com is a way for me to express my highs and lows in the startup life. I receive many daily emails from young entrepreneurs asking me for advice. I do the very best that I can to answer every email with a valuable response.

What are your new ventures for 2009 and beyond?

Viralogy.com is our main project. The site will be the platform that ranks people based on their online influence. We will aggregate your Blog stats (subscribers, uniques, page views), Twitter stats (followers, following, ratio), Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg, Stumble, and other social media statistics. With your stats, we will give you a score that you can use to compare yourself to your peers to see who is the most influential in a certain category or topic.

Who was/is your inspiration?

We wanted to help bloggers better promote themselves and provide them with a platform that allowed the small, lesser known bloggers to get noticed. We believe in helping those who are not well known yet become superstars.

How did you get started on your career path?

As an undergraduate at UCLA, I started a company with my business partner Yu-kai Chou. After graduating from UCLA, I joined a litigation and corporate finance consulting firm in Downton LA. After 3 months, I realized that the corporate world was just not for me and I decided to step away from the corporate world to do the startup life full-time. I haven’t looked back since.

What do you want to see more of in your career/passion?

I want to see less theory, and more concrete, actionable steps taken. Too many people give advice through their blog, but it’s all meaningless because they’re just spitting theory that has no concrete data. I want people to actually have lived through their advice before they give it.

What motivates you everyday?

Like anyone else, I am motivated by my family, friends, and girlfriend. However, I feel I am unique in that I would still be doing what I am doing even if I didn’t have them. I am self-motivated and am an entrepreneur because that’s who I am. I work hard every night and day because that’s what my DNA tells me to do. When I fail, I get back up not because I want a big house or jet when I’m rich; I get back up because I don’t know how to stay down. It is in my nature to keep pushing forward.

Last time you had a bad “creative” day? How did you deal with it? What did you learn?

A bad “creative” day? I don’t think I’ve ever lacked creativity. I’m usually at my best when I’m on the treadmill at the gym. Once I get those endorphins going, I start spitting some mad creativity.

Minorities in your industry:

Give me your view on how your race/nationality fits into the industry of work you do? (I am sure there is a better way to ask this question, I haven’t thought of it though. )

I am half Japanese and half Peruvian. Race has never played in part in determining who I am as a person and who I choose to socialize with.

Where do you see social media going from its current state now?

I see everyone and everything going towards less privacy. Once our generation takes control, you’ll notice that ALL information is received via the web or wirelessly on your phone. Once our generation hits 35, I believe the early tweens will begin dominating the internet scene. Just how the Gen X feel ike us Gen Y are too entitled, we will feel that the tweens are “entitled”.

Where do you see yourself fitting in how the inter-web/internet is being developed?

I see Viralogy.com as the platform that determines who is influential, what is influential, and ultimately determining your social status online. This will play a huge role now that personal branding is the most important phrase of 2009.

Please explain where you want to go with your life/career in ten words?

I want to make Future Delivery the next Google
