I've got Hee Gun Eom on the podcast to talk about building a coworking space in Tokyo!
In this podcast (among other things) we talked about:
- Growing up a "third culture" kid in Japan and attending Tokyo American School
- Coming back from studying in the US to help the family business
- Helping young people in Japan by teaching entrepreneurial programs to give them alternatives to 就活 (shukatsu - the Japanese job hunting system)
- Getting funding from the Japanese government to help start the coworking space
- Staying open to collaboration and creating a community of makers and creatives.
