I'm a hospitality startup founder and standup comedian based in Tokyo. In this pod, I document my journey of leading an early stage hotel company, telling jokes on stage, and making people laugh. I'll also get to talk to others who are living their most authentic selves through their work.
I read Bob Iger's Ride of a Lifetime, highly-recommend!
Back in Tokyo and back in quarantine! Check out Ride of a Lifetime (book by former Disney CEO Bob Iger) if you can, it's a page-turner. A very honest accounting of his time at Disney and all the challenges that he had to surmont.

Hong Kong Quarantine Blues
Coming atcha live from.... a room that I can't leave for 14 days! I ramble about this new normal in travel, and my favorite TV shows and book right now. Simply put, watch Mare of Easttown, Killing Eve, and read "A Very Punchable Face" by Colin Jost! And by read, I mean with your eyeballs, not your ears. It's laugh out loud hilarious, I promise.

"That's interesting," business jargon, and how I really feel about Fahrenheit
How do I stop saying "interesting" ? It's the most overused and diluted conversation vocab. Also, I admit to using business jargon and wonder if it's time we stopped using PowerPoint. A truly interesting, I mean fascinating, engrossing, riveting monologue.

Good Facebook groups exist (a musing on community + content)
My company (www.section-L.co) is getting into the content game. I talk about what we learned on Instagram and how certain Facebook groups have inspired me to take a value-first approach to community-building. I know it seems really obvious to many smart businesspeople & entrepreneurs, but I'm only recently starting to appreciate this!
