日本の社長の前では、自由人を演じてはいけない

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/30

In this episode, I explore why presenting yourself as a “free spirit” may not resonate with many Japanese business owners. While traveling, changing careers, and living abroad can broaden your perspective, those experiences are often interpreted differently in corporate culture. Japanese executives tend to value consistency, loyalty, and long-term commitment. I discuss the gap between personal freedom and organizational expectations, drawing on my own experiences working in Thailand and interacting

営業マンはなぜ売らんかなの営業になってしまうのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/29

Why do so many salespeople end up focusing on closing deals rather than solving customer problems? In this episode, I explore how incentive systems, sales quotas, and performance evaluations can gradually shift attention away from creating value and toward chasing numbers. Rather than blaming individual salespeople, I examine the organizational structures that shape their behavior. I also discuss why this issue extends beyond sales into the broader business world, especially in the age of AI

何をやれば儲かるかという発想だけで、本当に幸せになれるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/28

Money matters, but is chasing profit alone enough to build a meaningful life? In this episode, I examine the difference between pursuing income and creating genuine value. Using examples ranging from professional gamblers to entrepreneurs, I explore why following trends may generate short-term rewards but often fails to build lasting fulfillment or trust. As AI makes production easier than ever, the real challenge is no longer *how* to create, but *what* to create and *for whom*. Sustainable success

スキルは必要条件であって、十分条件ではない

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/27

In this episode, I discuss why skills are necessary but never sufficient for long-term success. Learning video editing, programming, accounting, or earning professional qualifications can open doors, but they do not guarantee meaningful results. What truly matters is understanding the market, recognizing what people value, and knowing how to apply your skills to solve real problems. In the age of AI, technical knowledge is becoming easier to access, making judgment, creativity, and strategic

『なんだかなあ』という言葉に感じる違和感

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/26

In this episode, I explore the Japanese expression *“nandaka naa”* (“I don’t know… something feels off”) and why it often leaves conversations incomplete. While feelings of discomfort or doubt are valuable starting points, they become meaningful only when we can explain their causes. Using examples from workplaces, restaurants, politics, and social media, I argue that critical thinking begins by turning vague emotions into clear language. In the AI era, where information is abundant and explanations

私の人生に影響を与えた本①──『ショージ君の青春期』

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/25

In this episode, I introduce one of the most influential books in my life: *Shoji-kun no Seishunki* by Sadao Shoji. Rather than offering a traditional book review, I reflect on how this memoir mirrored my own university years, my struggles to find a sense of belonging, and my search for an authentic path. I also explore how the meaning of "culture" and "education" changes depending on the community we belong to. This is a personal story about youth, identity, self-discovery, and

ホワイトカラーはなぜ「役に立つ奴隷」になりやすいのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/24

In the age of artificial intelligence, being "useful" is no longer enough. As AI rapidly automates analysis, writing, translation, and problem-solving, many white-collar professionals risk tying their entire identity to their usefulness at work. In this episode, I explore why modern education and corporate culture encourage this mindset, and why it can become a hidden form of dependence. Being useful is a valuable skill, but it should never define your self-worth. The challenge of the AI

欲望は裸では出てこない

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/23

In this episode, I explore the idea that human desire rarely appears in its raw form. We often express our ambitions through noble words such as helping others, changing the world, or pursuing freedom, while deeper motivations remain hidden—even from ourselves. Rather than condemning desire, I argue that recognizing it is the first step toward honesty. I also reflect on my own motivations as a content creator, admitting that the desire for recognition exists alongside a genuine wish to contribute

AI時代に読書が必要な理由

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/22

Artificial intelligence has made it easier than ever to access information, summarize books, and generate ideas within seconds. But does that mean reading books is no longer necessary? In this episode, I argue that the true value of reading is not simply acquiring knowledge—it is developing the ability to think. Books invite us to follow complex arguments, question assumptions, and build our own judgments. AI can provide answers, but it cannot make life's most important decisions for us. In the

教養とは何か──タイの工場で私が学んだこと

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/21

In this episode, I reflect on an experience from my early career at a Japanese manufacturing company in Thailand. After being told that I lacked "culture" or "education," I initially felt frustrated because I had spent years reading philosophy, history, and literature. Over time, however, I realized that the meaning of "culture" depends on the world you belong to. In manufacturing, practical knowledge about production, engineering, and industry is often valued more than

日本では学歴と思想知識は、あまり比例しない

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/20

In this episode, I explore why academic achievement and knowledge of political philosophy, social thought, and intellectual history do not always go hand in hand in Japan. Rather than criticizing highly educated people, I examine the structure of Japanese higher education and its close relationship with corporate society. Using the classical distinction between *techne* (practical skills) and *episteme* (the pursuit of fundamental understanding), I argue that Japanese universities have traditionally

橋渡しなんかになりたくない

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/19

In this episode, I question the popular idea of becoming a "bridge" between Japan and other countries. Drawing from my own experience working in Thailand, I explain why people in bridge roles often become trapped between competing expectations without having real decision-making authority. While these positions are essential for international business, they can also require sacrificing personal initiative and independence. Rather than simply connecting others, I argue that true fulfillment comes

なぜ自己啓発は嘘くさく聞こえるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/18

In this episode, I examine why abstract language has become so powerful in the worlds of self-help, spirituality, and success philosophy. Words such as "love," "energy," "purpose," and "authenticity" often sound profound, yet their meanings are rarely defined. Because they are difficult to challenge, they can easily become persuasive business tools. I also explore how these narratives replace human desires, jealousy, ambition, and physical instincts with cleaner, more spiritual language. Rather than

偽善者が天下を取る時代

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/17

In this episode, I explore why modern society often rewards people who appear virtuous rather than those who are willing to confront uncomfortable truths. I argue that today's "hypocrisy" is rarely driven by bad intentions. Instead, it grows from sincere people who adopt socially approved language and behavior to avoid conflict, criticism, or exclusion. As concepts such as empathy, psychological safety, diversity, and inclusion become institutionalized, genuine discussion can become

FIREはなぜ空っぽに見えるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/16

Why do some people find the FIRE movement strangely empty? In this episode, I explore why achieving financial independence is only the beginning, not the ultimate goal. FIRE offers freedom from financial anxiety, but what comes after that? I argue that many discussions focus on saving, investing, and reducing expenses while overlooking purpose, creativity, and contribution. A life built only on defense and risk avoidance can eventually feel stagnant. True fulfillment comes not merely from escaping

ライフスタイル動画は人格の空洞化を促進させる

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/15

Why are lifestyle videos so popular, and what are they doing to us? In this episode, I explore how many modern lifestyle videos prioritize atmosphere over personality. Beautiful cafés, minimalist rooms, quiet routines, and carefully edited moments create a calming experience, but they may also encourage creators to suppress strong opinions, imperfections, and individuality. I argue that this gradual “hollowing out” of personality reflects modern loneliness and the fear of conflict. As AI becomes

人格をETF化するな ── 人間的魅力とは何か

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/14

Why do so many people seem to have the same personality today? In this episode, I introduce the idea of the “ETF personality”—a mindset that becomes increasingly safe, average, and predictable by copying successful people. While this approach may reduce risk, it also weakens individuality and human appeal. Drawing on literature, business, sales experience, and the rise of AI, I argue that genuine charisma comes from imperfection, obsession, personal bias, and lived experience. As artificial

なぜ現代人は自分で自分を評価するようになったのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/13

Why do so many people today evaluate themselves instead of letting others do it? In this episode, I explore how social media and online culture may have changed the way we present ourselves. Phrases like “I’m highly capable” or “I’ve grown so much” have become increasingly common, but what does this reveal about modern communication? I argue that the fear of being judged as inadequate encourages people to create their own positive narratives before others can judge them. Ultimately, genuine

退職後の問題は趣味がないことではなく、責任のある共同体がなくなることである

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/06/12

Is the biggest challenge after retirement really the lack of hobbies? In this episode, I argue that the deeper issue is the loss of a community where people have meaningful responsibilities. Hobbies are valuable, but they are often optional—if you stop, no one is affected. Work, on the other hand, creates obligations, shared struggles, and relationships that give people a sense of purpose. Drawing on examples from working life and the story of *First Blood* (Rambo), I explore why responsibility,

AI時代でも人間を雇いたがる社長たち

2026/06/11

Will AI replace most employees, or is something deeper at work? In this episode, I explore why many business owners may continue to hire people even as AI becomes more capable. While automation can improve efficiency and reduce costs, companies are not merely profit-generating machines. They are also communities built on relationships, trust, recognition, and shared experiences. Drawing on my observations of small and medium-sized businesses in Japan and Thailand, I discuss the human side of
