Episode 1 -- Entrepreneur Natsuki Yasuda

Welcome to my first episode of my podcast! My first guest is Natsuki Yasuda, a young entrepreneur who's worked at Rakuten, a global Japanese e-commerce rival to Amazon, but then he went rogue to co-found his own consulting firm and build his own travel guide/tour package website of his homeland, Hokkaido prefecture in Northern Japan, treasurefurano.com Activities such as dogsledding with Siberian huskies make me want to sign up! It was a trip down nostalgia lane catching up with one of my former students that I've witnessed grow from a teenager to a member of the new generation of Japanese young adults that have ambition break out of the social norm yet do something worthwhile to help others.
