Welcome to the "Rising Sun Innovators"
Rising Sun Innovators is a podcast where we showcase the incredible stories of Japanese individuals who are taking on the world's toughest challenges outside of Japan. From startup founders to athletes, investors to businessmen, our guests have all broken free from the confines of tradition to make their mark on the global stage.
Join us as we delve into their journeys of success, the obstacles they've overcome, and the lessons they've learned along the way.
1. Introduction
To start with I would like to give a brief introduction about my background and why I decided to start Substack for my podcast, newsletter, personal thoughts etc.
My name is Patrick and my Japanese name is Yuji.
My mom is from the Philippines and my dad is Japanese.
I can speak both Japanese and English.
2. Why I decided to start my podcast and substack
The main reason why is because I would like to highlight all the Japanese that have all broken free from the confines of tradition to make their mark on global stage.
Because by doing so, I do believe that thru this podcast we could inspire the young generations to do the same and also provide them a role model to take risk and challenge themselves to step out from their comfort zone.
3. Topics I am exploring with
In this podcast, the key themes and topics that I would like to explore is about startups, entrepreneurship, culture, and anything related to business. So I am planning to invite future guests that currently doing businesses or pursuing their career outside Japan.
Through the episodes I hope the listeners would get an idea or open up their mind to have an option to do something challenging outside Japan.
And of course I will try to cover up various themes and topics base on our listeners request and also hopefully I could invite guests that are
musicians, artist, dancers, cartoonist (like people writing manga) in the future.
"Rising Sun Innovators" podcast is just one part of a larger community of innovators and entrepreneurs who are breaking free from tradition and making their mark on the world.
