On today's episode of my podcast, we have an inspiration. 

 

My very good friend Julie is a success story here in Japan. Not only did she master a very difficult language during her studies here, but she also wouldn't compromise to the status quo of limited job opportunities in Japan for foreigners. With her amazingly positive, loving, and mindful personality, she was able to fight and work for the jobs that made her happy, landing her the position of creative producer in one of the most interesting and colorful creative agencies here in Tokyo. On this episode, we delve into what her path was like to get to where she is now, and all you listeners will get to hear why everyone loves her the moment they meet her. 

 

Piggybacking off of the topic of the creative industry, we also comment on how some influencers, models, and sociopaths try to mimic and weaponise common symptoms of mental illness to garner sympathy, attention, and favours. 

 

Enjoy!
