This is your spot for learning about starting or growing your Japan related business or side hustle. Interviews and conversations with Japan related entrepreneurs and small business owners, both in Japan and globally, provide education and entertainment in each episode. On the podcast I have solo episodes and also talk with successful entrepreneurs connected to Japan (what I call "Japanpreneurs") that motivate and inspire you to take the next step in creating your own version of success. Sometimes I have a section called "Japanpreneur Quick Tips" where I explore recent business trends that affect entrepreneurs, highlight businesses or people who provide inspiration and creativity, as well as offer recommendations, reviews, and small business tips.
