   オフラインの営業は今後もやるつもりはない

   Every business needs sales, but not everyone needs to sell in the same way. In this episode, I explain why I have no intention of relying on offline networking events, business gatherings, or the constant maintenance of professional relationships. For some people, meeting new contacts, attending social events, and building relationships face-to-face comes naturally. For me, creating content and building trust gradually through the internet is a much better fit. Online marketing is certainly not easy—it requires patience and years of consistent work. But the important question is not which…

   仕事だと思って取り組むのは優等生的考え方

   Should we simply treat work as work and separate it from what we truly enjoy? At first, this may sound like the mature and rational approach. We all need money, and not everyone can earn a living doing what they love. But being too good at tolerating work we dislike may create another problem: we can spend years following a path that never really belonged to us. Working for a company can teach us discipline, social skills, and how to create value for others. Yet adapting too much can gradually erase our own preferences and ambitions. Sometimes the most rational choice in the short term…

   愚痴は社会化しないと鬱陶しがられる

   Everyone complains sometimes. We complain about difficult bosses, annoying coworkers, health problems, relationships, and the frustrations of everyday life. But listening to someone complain for hours can be exhausting. In this episode, I introduce the idea of “socializing” our complaints: transforming a private frustration into something that other people can recognize in their own lives. A personal complaint can become a broader observation about work, relationships, or society. Literature, films, essays, and social criticism often begin with very personal dissatisfaction. Complaining is…

   久しぶりにカフェでノマドワークしてみた

   Yesterday, I worked outside my home for the first time in quite a while. I drove to a shopping mall about ten kilometers away and spent several hours working in a small café. The change of environment was refreshing, and the background noise of people talking was surprisingly easy to ignore. At the same time, I rediscovered the limitations of café work: recording audio is difficult, sitting for hours becomes uncomfortable, and food and drinks can quickly become expensive. For me, working from home remains the best option. Still, an occasional afternoon in a café can be a pleasant change of…

   自分に厳しく、他人に甘く

   What does it really mean to be strict with yourself but generous with others? In this episode, I reflect on different types of managers I encountered during my career. Some highly capable people expect everyone around them to meet the same standards they set for themselves. Others work extremely hard but give their employees surprising freedom. I share the story of an exceptional sales manager who sometimes let his team sleep, relax, and work only a few hours—yet consistently delivered results. Perhaps good leadership is not about demanding that others become like you. Being capable yourself…

   好きなことを仕事にするべきか

   Should you turn what you love into your work? In this episode, I explore why our interests and preferences should matter when choosing a career. Following your passion does not guarantee success, and financial stability cannot simply be ignored. But choosing a job only because it seems safe may eventually leave you wondering what you actually wanted to do. Sometimes it is better to seriously pursue something, fail, and discover that it was not right for you than never try at all. A career is not only about earning a living. It is also about deciding what deserves your time and commitment.…

   鈍感力より、雑になる勇気。

   Can we really train ourselves to stop caring about what other people say and do? In this episode, I question the popular idea of developing a thicker skin. Perhaps sensitivity is not something we can simply switch off. Instead of trying to become less sensitive, I suggest another approach: becoming a little less demanding of ourselves. Modern culture often celebrates careful routines, tidy homes, healthy habits, and “mindful” living. There is nothing wrong with any of that, but constant self-management can become exhausting. Maybe what we need is not greater emotional toughness, but the…

   引きこもりたいという本音は隠さざるを得ないのが現代人の偽らざる心情だろう

   Perhaps many people secretly want to withdraw from society more than they are willing to admit. In this episode, I reflect on my own tendency to stay home, avoid unnecessary social interaction, and struggle with conventional institutions. I talk about leaving high school, later going to university, and eventually discovering that corporate life was especially difficult for me—not because I disliked working, but because constant workplace relationships exhausted me. Being able to adapt to a company is certainly a useful ability, but it is not the only measure of a person. Perhaps being…

   営業マンが売りたい時と、お客さんが買いたい時は違う

   Customers have their own timing when it comes to buying. In this episode, I reflect on my years of experience in sales and a difficult truth every salesperson faces: sometimes you can explain everything clearly, answer every question, build trust, and still fail to close the deal. The reason may be surprisingly simple—the customer simply does not need the product right now. Salespeople have targets, commissions, and pressure to sell, but customers have their own circumstances. Sometimes the best thing you can do is explain the product honestly, answer their concerns, and then leave politely.…

    職業病ですから

    Years ago in Bangkok, a recruitment agent impressed me by instantly recognizing a pattern in my job search. When I said, “You know the industry well,” he replied, “It’s an occupational hazard.” For some reason, that phrase stayed with me. In this episode, I explore why it felt slightly performative: a form of modesty that quietly advertises professional expertise. I also consider how our image of competence is changing. In the age of AI, being able to memorize everything and answer instantly may matter less than finding, checking, and processing information efficiently. Perhaps…
