Podcast clip discussing CEO traitsfrom @reikoslivingroom

Transcript

Most of the CEOs in the world are usually street smart than a book smart. Yeah. I think that's so true. Because you obviously meet so many people, CEOs. You hang out with a lot of them. What do you think the traits that people have? I think one is definitely courage. You have the courage to start your own thing. You have the courage to ask for something. Especially in Japan where people might say, like, oh, who do you think you are? That kind of social pressure. Yeah. I think America is more friendly to entrepreneurs. Right. Because America's always, like, making your own thing and, like Different is good. Yeah. Tier in Japan, it feels like tier, like, anti risk. I think it's, especially in Japan, hard to put yourself out there. So I think that you have to have a lot of courage, like, guts, And I also think you have to have a strong ability to, like, overcome difficulty Mhmm. Because things are gonna go wrong and you almost lose all your money or the customers get angry. And you have to be able to, like, just keep going and, like, not give up. And that ability to, like, never give up, I rank, is really, really key. And I think that a lot of, like, smart people, like Tokyo University, even Harvard, whatever, like, they're so used to planning and making strategizing and trying to be perfect, but that doesn't apply so much in business, I think. I think you have to be more tough, more creative, more strong, like, courageous. Mhmm. But you don't need to have, like, a perfect plan because it's not gonna work anyways.
