Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Autumn-Winter 2021–22 / Week 2

Another story on Kanta, who swims freely in this Metropolis, Tokyo.

Already explored at my previous article at https://masahironakagawa-272.medium.com/5-keys-for-keeping-dream-and-the-dream-comes-true-at-last-6327267c64d2, Kanta moved to Tokyo and explores his new world, Shibuya, with his humble and hungry spirits.

At project ALOHA (https://masahironakagawa-272.medium.com/shared-enjoyment-value-562d72497af5), I got great reason to be able to update with many old friends in person. At the last session was with Mr. Sato (called Sugar; Same Zemi, Same Club, Same Nomura and my be-loved SENPAI, and a founder of Value Create (https://www.valuecreate.net/)). Spent 3 hours at his satellite office at Nakano Broadway (famous place for OTAKU globally), and topics were widely spread from business to the current dialogues globally. …

On the early morning of August, I got a call from my mentor, Professor Hiro Takeuchi Sensei at Harvard Business School (at age of 74, still active at the classroom).

“Hiro, I got a wild idea, then I need your help. Please ally with Gagi”

I am 4th generation of Takeuchi Zemi alumni and Masayoshi (Gagi) Fujii is at 15th. Already 20 years have passed from graduation, but all 265 members of Takeuchi Zemi enjoy our company, like “extended” family. Most of us enjoyed a “Kapalua camp” after 20th anniversary at Sensei’s condo in Maui.

This COVID 19 pandemic prevents…

I know we have pros and cons to this current Olympic. I was also not 100% pros to this event, especially at this timing, but we may find this event becoming the game changer to the next chapter of global society. The following story was explored at the home dining room at my lifelong mentor, Professor Hiro Takeuchi, still active at Harvard Business School and station in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo.

Gagi, my junior friend and Takeuchi Zemi member, and I conducted interesting mission last weekend in Minami Aoyama. …

Great essay. I observe the most valuable point of Japan is "safety". We do not have School Bus, and at most of public elementary or secondary school has "walking commute"; This means that Japan is so safe and no need too much protection for kids. Lived in the US, UK and Hong Kong, and I never seen this at the different countries.

This week is at a short story about Shohei. Ops, not that Shohei who voltage up in Anaheim.

From June, I am attending a Disruptive Strategy online course at Harvard Business School (HBS). (https://online.hbs.edu/courses/disruptive-strategy/?subject=Strategy)

Why? Now on you? Well Well Well,,

Pablo Picasso once said

Good artists copy,

Great artists steal.

Disruptive Strategy is famous framework by Professor Clayton (Clay) Christensen. I met him once before, but sadly he has moved to God’s place last year, after two times fight against cancer. I love to learn how HBS conduct 5 weeks course with Clay’s theory and eager to steal the essence.

To find out incredibly interesting and lots of fun. Contents are the key.

HBS said that still ragged from the similar one at Stanford (Stanford LEAD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCoCB5EGyak), but contents and…

Came back home from two weeks stay in the Big Island, I found this bud came out from my happiness tree (dracaena). Yes, dracaena (we call “happiness tree” in Japan, Hong Kong and at least in Hawaii) may or may not have a chance to bloom once in 14 years or 15 years. This is much miracle than 17 years cicada boom now in the south side of the US. Literarily this was the second time in my life.

Goats in the golf course gave me a huge hint and past lectures by Professor Clayton Christensen pushed me back.

As discussed, at the previous article at (https://masahironakagawa-272.medium.com/kona-wind-part-1-6fb529ed7309), I felt a huge gap between what I have seen at the Big island and my country, and moreover I became very healthy. Not only physically, I felt very healthy at every moment during my stay in Mauna Lani.

That area has plenty of native goats all over the place. Famous for their fecundity, their family circle are increasing year and year. Maybe no fatal natural enemy give them a heaven.

This year we see more than 11 troop of goats out there, and no one escape from the players. Hence, we…
