Tokyo FM “Cool Japan” interview

I had a chance to go to Tokyo’s biggest radio station and talk for an hour about the show. They asked me to do it in Japan! It’s okay for me, but I never had an formal schooling - just talk normally. Many people said they usually don’t have a lot of fun like this - it’s very business like in the interviews. I said it’s not my style. You don’t attract people by being stiff. Be yourself! Anyway, Kanae told me I only made a few mistakes and I can live with that. If you don’t have the ...

Collaboration Video w/ Strange Parts

Greetings from Tokyo! Scotty came to Japan on a YouTube trip and I showed him around in this collab video. It’s different being on the other side of the camera!! 😂 but you can see elements of our GO trips here. Leave him a message and say hi 👋 it’s wonderful to have innovative creators looking at other sides of the city like Akihabara’s past in Tech rather than just sub culture we know today. Yes, he’ll be back for more including one on ONLY in JAPAN as we go even deeper into the a...

New York City MEET UP / Suggestions

So Kanae and I will be in New York after the New Year from January 2 to 4.
January 2 at night might be best - but I'm looking for a place for the meet up.
Any suggestions? I have enough time to plan something and with New Years over, it should be more relaxed. I thought I'd ask our Patreon community first for those who live in the area what's most convenient for them if they want to meet. Thanks in advance!

PS: Munich Meet up will be on 12/17 (or maybe 18, not decided yet) and the...
