Many executives trying to find jobs in Japan rely on passive tactics—applying on LinkedIn, meeting recruiters, and polite networking, then get frustrated when nothing happens, despite market claims of talent shortages. David Sweet explains that most job-search advice is built for mid-management, while executive search firms and recruiters primarily serve client mandates, often resulting in “crickets” for candidates; LinkedIn applications also rarely reach decision-makers. Instead, executives should stop waiting to be rescued and run their search like B2B sales: build a strategy and target list of 40–50 companies (dream firms, PE-backed growth, APAC HQs, market entrants), research via chambers, trade shows and media, then reach out directly to presidents and senior leaders with a research-focused message. Use meetings to learn needs, competitors, and expand networks, staying patient given fewer senior roles.The 2026 FocusCore Salary Guide is here: 2026 Salary GuideIn this episode you will hear:Move beyond mid-management job search strategiesCraft a list of dream companies and take the direct approachUtilize resources like chambers and trade shows for in-depth researchEngage executives in meaningful dialogue, not just job requestsDavid Sweet Bio:​David Sweet is the Founder and CEO of FocusCore Japan, based in Tokyo.

Hoy en Flash Blues, el aire huele a Nashville, a humo de club y a puro blues del pantano. Vamos a hablar de un tipo que no buscaba la fama, pero que la fama lo encontró a él en un teatro de mala muerte: Shy Guy Douglas. El disco que nos ocupa, lanzado por Black Magic Records se titula "Stone Doin' Alright".

Content warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, graphic discussions of deaths in custody, massacres and torture.  Ethan Floyd along with other Australians and people from other countries were intercepted at gunpoint in international waters, 1,200 km from Gaza, while trying to deliver life-saving aid to starving civilians in Gaza. After more than 30 hours in detention, Ethan and his fellow humanitarians are free from the genocidal state. However, tens of thousands of Palestinians subjected to systematic abuse and torture remain in these detention facilities. Ethan Floyd joined Marisa for the entire Doin' Time show to talk about the Flotilla. Ethan discussed his participation in the Global Sumud Flotilla of more than 100 boats that were intercepted in the Mediterranean Sea attempting to breach the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. The Wiradjuri, Wailwan activist spoke in detail about being tortured by the Israeli authorities. Listeners may find this distressing. Then Jeanette joined the show. Jeanette is a student activist and member of Students Against War, who's been involved in organising for palestine on campus. Jeanette and Ethan talked about disciplinary procedings by Sydney University, and the university management's disciplinary threats to Students for their "No Exchange with Israeli Apartheid" poster. This was against two students over a Palestine solidarity poster calling for "No Exchange with Israeli Apartheid." The proceedings have just been dropped. Jeanette, Ethan and Marisa also sent Solidarity messages to all the flotilla activists. Marisa spoke quite briefly about the Myall Creek Memorial event happening over the long Weekend. Please refer to the Myall Creek website for more information.

In this Focus Core podcast episode, host David Sweet interviews Steve Bleistein, CEO of Tokyo-based Relansa, Inc., and author of Dauntless Leadership, about rapid growth and leadership for international companies in Japan. Steve argues Japan is “no enigma” because value and leadership fundamentals are universal, and “we can't do this because this is Japan” is an excuse that abdicates agency. He cites skincare company Takami's fast growth by bucking department-store conventions, using limits to drive innovation, and focusing on direct customer acquisition and lifetime relationships. On leading change, he advises leaders decide the “what” while teams help with the “how,” cater to the vanguard, take action before buy-in, and ignore or remove naysayers. He also discusses hiring leaders who speak truth to power and think strategically, building internal leadership benches, poaching external talent, keeping HR from pre-vetting executives, understanding real decision-making dynamics, defining empowerment, and adapting to demographics through customer/market shifts and productivity-enhancing technology.The 2026 FocusCore Salary Guide is here: 2026 Salary GuideIn this episode you will hear:Why universal business values succeed in Japan and beyondBusting the myth of Japan's business market being 'slow' or 'encrypted'The role of innovation in breaking traditional market normsHow to implement industry-defining leadership strategiesAddressing and adapting to the needs of an aging Japanese marketOvercoming the ‘Japan barrier' in multinational corporationsAbout Steve:Steve is the CEO and founder of Tokyo-based Relansa, Inc., and a recognized expert on rapid business growth for international companies in Japan.

In this episode of the FocusCore Podcast, host David Sweet interviews entrepreneur Ernest Higa, Representative Director of First Kitchen Ltd. and Wendy's, founder of Domino's Pizza Japan and chairman/CEO of Higa Industries, about building and leading businesses in Japan. Ernest argues that “scale” must now be global and that business life cycles are shortening, making longevity a key criterion when selecting brands. He explains the need to “think global, act local” without “going too native,” describing how Domino's Japan required product, service, and menu innovation to match Japanese expectations for quality, hospitality, and variety. He discusses persuading US headquarters amid cultural gaps, noting there is no “cultural interpreter,” and illustrates supply-chain localization through developing preservative-free pepperoni and sausage to meet Japanese regulations and MOQs. Ernest also covers Japan's evolving corporate governance, board effectiveness, diversity, entrepreneurial pitfalls like tax structure, leadership adaptability, post-COVID consumer recovery, inbound tourism growth, and his positive outlook for Japan's economy.The 2026 FocusCore Salary Guide is here: 2026 Salary GuideIn this episode you will hear:The importance of adapting global business models to local marketsHow Ernest Higa navigated the challenges of introducing American food brands to JapanCultural nuances impacting boardroom dynamics in Japan vs. the U.S.Key factors in choosing and managing leadership for international venturesWhy understanding cultural differences is crucial for bridging gaps with headquartersJapan's shifting economy and its impact on the global business marketAbout Ernest:Ernest Higa is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Higa Industries Co., Ltd., Chairman and Representative Director of First Kitchen Ltd. and Wendy's. He is also a Director of Delsole Corporation (a publicly listed company), and Chairman of the Board of Councilors of the US- Japan Council and Advisor to the Commissioner of the Ministry of Culture. He also serves on the board of the Asian Cultural Council Japan Foundation, Temple University Japan, and Showa Women's University. In 1985, he founded Domino's Pizza Japan and became the largest international franchisee at that time, (he sold it in 2010). In 1990, he was named “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the New Business Conference, and in 1998, he was awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture for “innovation in the food industry” and recognized by Toyo Keizai as one of the top 50 entrepreneurs in Japan.

This week's Deadpod takes us back to Pasadena, California, and the Rose Palace on May 10, 1969. This is a fierce, high-energy slice of early Dead, complete with a few rough edges from the road. "Hard To Handle" and "Morning Dew" both run into technical trouble, with the band's frustration coming through loud and clear, but the real centerpiece here is the long psychedelic run from "Dark Star" into "Saint Stephen," "The Eleven," and a nearly half-hour "Turn On Your Love Light." It's primal Dead, unpredictable and powerful, with all the danger and electricity of 1969 still crackling through the tape.

In this episode of the FocusCore Podcast, host David Sweet speaks with FocusCore Business Director Jonathan Cant, who has spent 22 years in Japan. They chat about why global firms struggle with Japan market entry and leadership hiring. Jonathan says failures are often not the product but poor positioning and underestimating loyalty to incumbents, citing Tesco's and Burger King's early missteps and the importance of partnerships and carefully chosen niches. He argues a common day-one hiring mistake is over-weighting near-native English versus Japan market understanding, noting expat leaders without Japanese can create costly misunderstandings. He advises HQ to educate itself on Japan's nuances, align stakeholders early, avoid excessive “non-negotiables,” and run confidential retained searches that build trust. For first hires, he favors a “builder” with energy, storytelling ability, networking skill, and emotional intelligence, plus clarity on investment roadmaps and realistic expectations.The 2026 FocusCore Salary Guide is here: 2026 Salary GuideIn this episode you will hear:Common pitfalls global firms face when entering the Japanese marketThe critical balance between global headquarters and local market needsThe significance of emotional intelligence in today's leadership rolesWhy English proficiency shouldn't overshadow market experience for C-Suite candidatesThe evolving landscape of executive search and the importance of a human touchInsights into building and maintaining successful business operations in JapanAbout Jonathan:Jonathan Cant is a seasoned executive search leader specializing in senior hires across Japan. Originally from Newcastle in the UK, he has been living in Japan since 2004 and brings over two decades of on-the-ground insight into what makes leadership succeed in this market. He's drawn to the people-oriented, results-driven nature of executive search, where relationships and outcomes go hand in hand.He works closely with global SMEs to identify and place Country Managers and CFOs, partnering with senior leaders across a wide range of industries. Over the past five years at FocusCore, Jonathan has built a strong reputation for bridging the gap between global expectations and the realities of doing business in Japan.Known for his practical perspective on leadership from emotional intelligence to the complexities of bilingual hiring, Jonathan has seen firsthand how misalignment between headquarters and Japan teams can make or break a business.Outside of work, he enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two young sons, as well as following Newcastle United, cricket, cooking, and photography.Connect with Jonathan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathancant/Connect with David Sweet:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdavidsweet/Twitter: https://twitter.com/focuscorejpFacebook: :https://www.facebook.com/focuscoreasiaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/focuscorejp/Website: https://www.japan.focuscoregroup.com/This podcast was proudly produced by Lisa Yasuda.“Doin' the Uptown Lowdown,” used by permission of Christopher Davis-Shannon.

Content warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains sensitive material, audio descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, graphic discussion of deaths in custody, and also the name of a First Nations warrior who has passed. This special Doin' Time program is a dedication and tribute to the much loved and honourable Uncle Ray Jackson, born 27 March, 1941 and died on April 23 2015. He was a Wiradjuri warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and human rights for Aboriginal people, and much more. A former trade unionist, Ray became the founding secretary of the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Watch Committee in 1987. and later the president, of the Indigenous Social Justice Association (ISJA) Sydney, which he founded. Right until the day he died, Ray Jackson was fighting to stop Aboriginal deaths in custody. This lifelong work was recognised by Macquarie University in the lead up to the 25th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody report. Our first tribute to Ray is Joseph Pugliese, longtime activist and much-loved guest on the Doin' Time show, and close friend of Uncle Ray Jackson. We will hear from his loved ones throughout the show. After that we'll have a yarn with Madika Penrith, granddaughter of Ray, who spoke about the work of her grandfather, and how this connects with her own life and beautiful work creating First Nations archives, to give them back to her people. She's also planning an Exihibition of her Pop's work.

In episode 138 of Game Design Unboxed, we chat with Edwin D. Benton II, Founder and CEO of Doin' the Most Games, about how his journey into game design stemmed from an addiction to app games like Words With Friends and a frustration with their limitations. This inspired him to build his own inclusive, slang-driven app where players could contribute words from around the world, a mindset that evolved into the world of tabletop card games, which were gaining popularity at the time.   We talk about the spontaneous vacation sing-along moment that sparked Song Survivor, his playtesting process (from parties with friends to blind tests), his passion for designing for players with disabilities and specific cultural groups, hiring experts, packaging for mass market (why box size matters), and leveraging celebrity endorsements (and how to get them). Featuring: Edwin D. Benton II - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host

Dear Reader,It's with great pleasure that I can announce the launch of my new course Let's Decorate! - bright ideas for painting everyday objectsIt's been something I have been working on in the background before I gave birth and over the last few months have been slowly chippping away a bit at a time to bring it to completion. I must admit I didn't think I'd ever finish it working in such short bursts, but I'm so glad I peservered and can now tell you all about it. Read on for more details…This course arose from a desire to be surrounded by beautiful, everyday objects in my home, featuring favourite subjects like wild flowers, fruit and elements from the natural world. I was particularly inspired by a visit to a sunflower field last year and this got me wanting to paint them on everything.I've always loved to paint murals, back in my twenties I was a mural artist in a school and it was actually how I started dating Tony when he commissioned me to paint a mural on his flat walls. A job that should have taken a week took 3 months as we would find all sorts of things to chat about!I digress…back to the courseWhat you'll doIn this course we'll look at 3 types of acrylic paint- heavy body, soft body and acrylic gouache, noting their qualities and discuss what kind of project they would suit best. I'll then guide you through four projects to paint and give you detailed steps for sourcing materials, preparing surfaces and painting your objects. Working in acrylic paint to transform a space is a great way to brighten your home on a smaller scale and through painting everyday objects there's also a special sense of accomplishment that comes with customising your space. On the course you'll gain inspiration and practical know-how to bring your decorative ideas to life and work on similar pieces for your home.If this sounds just up your street or you're curious to find out more then please hop over to the purchase page here. Any questions just ping them over to me or go to the bottom of the sales page for FAQ.Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking again soon,PS Seasalt & Serpentine Paid community-I'm offering a 25% discount for you- watch out for the next email with the coupon code.

Episode 064: This week on Six Picks Music Club, we're skipping the rehab and going straight for the stash with a setlist that'll leave you absolutely cooked. We're kicking things off with a gateway hit from The Uninvited before the mood gets thick and smoky with a heavy dose of Amy Winehouse. To keep the heart rate from flatlining, we're passing the 311 for those herbal, sun-drenched vibrations, then mainline some gritty, high-octane energy from Highly Suspect. Just as the walls start to melt, we're micro-dosing a little psych-rock magic with The Beatles and finally crashing out into the beautifully jagged, pill-pressed blues of Placebo. It's a pure, uncut trip through our favorite musical dependencies—guaranteed to give you a contact high without the comedown. Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site
