Tokyo Entrepreneur Lunch Meeting Set For May
Nothing like a Spring day in Japan. Great to be alive in the thriving metropolis of Tokyo. There are so many great people and innovators, it’s energizing to be a part of the community.
For 6 months, I have suggested to various c-levels that we should bring people together who have actually founded companies in Asia. Running your own business means being head down and super busy all the time. Sometimes we need to get away from the micro-detail and reassess what we are doing. Sharing ideas, experiences and insights with other entrepreneurs helps to stimulate our thinking about how to work on our businesses and not just in our businesses. Many entrepreneurs have liked the idea and said, “Let me know when we do the meeting, I want to be there”. Well, we’re going to do a Tokyo Entrepreneur Meeting in May.
If you are experienced entrepreneur who is based in Asia (ideally Japan), and run a influential business, this is your chance. We are going to get together and talk about running business in Japan over a lunch. I will prepare the agenda, but please be prepared to talk as this is not a chamber of commerce, this will be an interactive meeting.
Date– 24 May (Tues)
Time– 1230PM – 1400PM
Venue Roppongi Hills Club
Cost 2,500 to 3,500 yen (depending on the lunch set)
If you would like to come, we need to confirm your place as space is limited. Please drop us a line here as we are going to easily fill the room.
Despite The Current American President’s Toilet Declarations, There Is No Tokyo Toilet Confusion
Found out the other day, that in America if you are a man who ‘identifies as a woman’ the current US president has declared to his nation that they can use the women’s room. Apparently, it works for women that identify as men as well. Completely missed this.
Thought I missed something big none of our Tokyo team has been following it either.
We welcome everyone so in our smaller Tokyo office, I told our team this AM, if they were a male or female who identifies as the opposite sex, they are welcome to use the toilet.
It was actually quite an easy decision, this particular office only has one toilet. 😉
The conclusion, there is no toilet confusion in Tokyo.
PS. Up until two years back, we were mostly gents doing tech engineering. Now, we’re very happy to have a good number of very capable ladies. We’re planning on moving offices later this year. The ladies want separate toilets and we desperately need more space.
