Message

I arrived first in Japan in 2002 and I experienced culture shock. I was amazed at how small my world before had been until then, and I vowed to experience as much of the world as possible from then. Curiosity is the most valuable and productive personality trait.

Over the years since then, the internet has made all of human knowledge and culture available to everyone instantly. Now, the internet is the world we live in. Borders of nations are less and less relevant. We occupy social networks and tribes. These are as important as nationality to digitally native citizens.

Every company needs to be a tech company now, to access the digitally native consumer. For the companies that succeed, their customers will be global, and their potential will be limitless.
