He shares his experiences moving to and falling in love with the country, as well as his practical insights into how best to build and maintain relationships in Japan. We also discuss an important concept for foreigners living and doing business in Japan to know called the "gaijin-card," so you definitely won't want to miss out on this week's conversation.
