“After the first episode, I moved the entire catalog up and binge-listened them all. Disrupting Japan showcases interesting guests with innovative ideas illuminated by Tim's pointed insights and put into context with his business experience. And the show is punctuated by humor and entertaining cultural nuggets. My favorite part is Tim's regular monologue episodes that are eye-opening. Or ear-opening, rather. Brain-opening?

If that kind of insight is useful to you, Disrupting Japan puts your finger on the pulse of Japan's emerging startup community.”Read full review »

With no word of a lie, I binge listened to...”Read full review »
