   The Fixer: Event Planning and Management

   I think my guest on this episode demonstrates the power of the JET connection and experience - getting into a career that allows him to travel the world and learn - specifically about the way business practices are done globally. Ryan Hata works in the event planning and project management space at Columbia Business School. As always, we don’t just talk about what he does as part of his job, but also expand into topics related to his work, like global business practices, and what innovation looks like in China and India. Note: This will the final episode for 2025. After JET will be taking a break. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting and listening to the podcast.

   Sky Dive: About Confidence and Chances

   Our post-JET lives can be interesting and varied, thanks to the many opportunities available and networks that we form. That's the theme of this episode but along the way, we meander in our discussion, talking about the good and bad of AI, innovation and how taking chances can lead to great things.
