This week's Misfit Entrepreneurs are Robert and Kay Lee Fukui. Robert and Kay are former fortune 500 standouts, who saw an opportunity to help married entrepreneurs and business owners create harmony between the rigorous demands of building a business and maintaining a healthy, happy thriving marriage. Their company, Couples by Design teaches entrepreneurs and business owners and their spouses how have it all – a thriving business and marriage by helping them better understand themselves, each other, and how to support each other in business and at home.

It doesn't matter how much time you have; it's about how you make it count.” “The one thing you can do that will almost bulletproof your marriage is to pray intentionally with each other.” “As business owners, we waste more time than we realize. If you audit your time and where you're spending it, are those areas productive? I guarantee you, 100% of the time, it's not. In fact, only 20% of our time is actually spent on productive work. We need to flip the ratio to make 70% of our time productive.” “Business is personal because it involves people.” “What's ordinary to you is magic to other people.” “Actions speak louder than words. People want to be shown, not told.” “The more you affirm someone, the better it is for the relationship.” “The best leaders I've ever known have been the ones who, when something goes wrong, take the blame, even though they're not at fault.

John sits down with husband-and-wife duo Kay Lee and Robert Fukui — business consultants and co-authors of Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs' Guide for Greater Work-Life Balance. Kay Lee and Robert share their journeys as entrepreneurs from very different backgrounds, how they met, their premarital counseling, and their experience working together as couplepreneurs. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [02:21] - Kay Lee's and Robert's backgrounds [06:20] - John's background in ministry and moving into entrepreneurship [10:15] - How Kay Lee and Robert met through an online Christian dating site [16:04] - Their relationship and pre-marital counseling [18:31] - Ensuring that Robert was ready for a new relationship [20:00] - How counseling helped them build a strong foundation for their marriage [21:36] - Why John is the perfect person to talk about marriage [24:01] - Importance of men showing emotional vulnerability in relationships [27:55] - Kay Lee's rationale for wanting premarital counseling [29:25] - The term “couplepreneur” [30:09] - Working together as husband and wife in the same business [33:53] - Making decisions that are best for “us” [35:46] - The sixth sense that women have [37:35] - Why they decided to write the book Tandem [41:13] - Statistics on divorce rate among entrepreneurs [42:16] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: “The things that will help strengthen your marriage are actually simple in principle, but it's very hard—mentally, emotionally, and sometimes spiritually—to do.” “Going in and defending yourself, trying to fix the other person, and pointing fingers—those are our gut reactions that are easy to do, but they are very toxic for the relationship. The simple act of listening and empathizing is easy in principle but very hard mentally and emotionally to do.” “Any new skill feels weird when you first start doing it, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.” “Great relationships aren't just about compromise; they're about finding the best of both ideas and working together.” “In an argument, it's just me against her, and I want to win, or she wants to win. But when you realize it's about ‘us,' everything changes.” “The power of the pause is very powerful. When we pause, more truth or facts come out that weren't there initially, and then you realize, ‘Oh, this wasn't the right decision.'” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://marriedentrepreneur.co/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertfukui/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayleefukui/  https://www.instagram.com/thrivingintandem/ https://www.facebook.com/robert.fukui  https://www.facebook.com/kaylee.mullerfukui https://www.thetandembook.com/ “Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs' Guide for Greater Work-Life Balance”  (https://a.co/d/2lxzGrg) Thriving in Tandem Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/ThrivingInTandemPodcast)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/ 

福井女子中学生殺害事件の再審開始が認められ、喜ぶ前川彰司さん、２３日午前、金沢市１９８６年に福井市で中学３年の女子生徒、当時、が殺害された事件で殺人罪が確定し服役した前川彰司さんの第２次再審請求審で、名古屋高裁金沢支部は２３日、「捜査に行き詰まった捜査機関が誘導などの不当な働き掛けを行い、関係者の供述が形成された疑いが払拭できない」として、再審開始を認める決定をした。 The Kanazawa branch of Nagoya High Court on Wednesday accepted the second retrial plea by Shoji Maegawa, 59, who had served a prison sentence for the 1986 murder of a then 15-year-old junior high school student in the city of Fukui, central Japan.

The journey of an artist is a winding one. You make the decision to start, not knowing where it will take you. Over time, if you're fortunate, you build a career from your work while gaining the freedom to explore new forms of expression, with each project becoming an important and affirming part of that journey.   In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Mariko Jesse, a professional illustrator who has integrated mokuhanga into her artistic practice. Mariko draws inspiration from her life experiences, sharing insights on her family and travels. We discuss how living in San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Japan has shaped her outlook and creative process. Mariko also reflects on her involvement with MI Lab, now based in Echizen, Japan, as well travelling to the International Mokuhanga Conference in April 2024.  Finally, we explore Mariko's collaborations with The Mokuhanga Sisters and wood+paper+box, and how these partnerships shape her own artistic practice.

Ryo Fukui foi um pianista de jazz japonês que marcou profundamente o cenário musical, especialmente no Japão. Sua jornada musical começou com a aprendizagem do acordeão aos 18 anos, mas foi aos 22 que ele decidiu embarcar na aventura de aprender piano por conta própria, mudando-se para Tóquio. Durante esse período, Fukui teve encontros fortuitos com o saxofonista Hidehiko Matsumoto, que ofereceu valioso incentivo e orientação ao jovem pianista. Apesar dos desafios e momentos de desânimo, Fukui perseverou, aprimorando suas habilidades e moldando seu próprio estilo. Fukui, como muitos em seu país, se apaixonou pelo jazz após o término da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Enquanto o resto do mundo começava a esquecer o jazz como música popular, o Japão permaneceu completamente engajado com o gênero naquilo que ele originalmente era: um rítmo baseado em swing. Esse interesse pelo swing é fundamental para entender o Japão como um lugar do renascimento do jazz  enquanto música popular, enquanto nos Estados Unidos o gênero se tornava mais complexo e abstrato, afastando-se do público em geral. Nada contra essa evolução, pois trouxe inovações incríveis à música, mas o jazz estava gradualmente se tornando mais acadêmico, enquanto a popularidade fluía para gêneros como funk e rock and roll.

If you're like many business owners, it's been hard to find good employees. It seems like the younger generation doesn't want to work and are lazy. Or at least that's what they say. But think about this, the baby boomers were also considered lazy when they were in their twenties and thirties.  They were the hippies. Love not war.  In other words, the older generation always thinks the younger generation is not as hard working as they are. So maybe it's not that the younger generation is lazy, they have a different set of values that they want to see reflected in their job. And if you look at what they value, you may find that they align well with yours.  If you adjust how you lead the younger generation, you will find that you develop the most loyal employees and attract more of them.

Mokuhanga today can be made in so many ways. So many inspirations, so many people creating beautiful pieces from all over the world. Coming to you from Obihiro, Hokkaido, I have been traveling around Japan for over a month. Coming back to Japan is always an inspiring act and it is already like a second home to me. What brought me back to Japan this time around was the 2024 International Mokuhanga Conference held in Echizen City, Fukui, Japan. Meeting with so many mokuhanga artists, carvers, and printers inspired me and makes me want to be a better artist and to make a better podcast. On this episode of The Unfinished Print I speak with one of the mokuhanga artists who also attended the 2024 IMC. Jason Fujiwara. Jason lives and works in Tokyo, Japan where he creates his mokuhanga. Jason and I speak together about how he approaches his work, his inspirations, the idea of cultural identity in his prints , his time at the 2024 International Mokuhanga Conference, and Jason even asks me some questions.

More info about his work can be found, here.  Ōiso: from the series The Tōkaidō Road - The Fifty-three Stations (1851-52) Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) - is one of the most famous Japanese artists to have ever lived.

Below is a fine example of mokume technique by Osamu Sugiyama:     10 Views of Mt. Fuji - Moonlight over Shinobino Moor (13"x16.9")   bokashi - is a mokuhanga technique, where the pigment fades from a heavy colour to a softer, broad colour. Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by  mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable.

However, with the emergence of photography and other printmaking methods, traditional ukiyo-e production ceased by the late 19th century, leaving behind a rich legacy in Japanese art history.    Procreate - is a popular digital art app designed exclusively for iPad and iPhone.

Whenever we face challenges like recessions, COVID-19, business competition, or market crashes, fear tends to rear its ugly head. How we deal with fear determines how well we get through those challenging times.   Kay Lee and I recently went on a ski vacation and I noticed a lot of skiing metaphors that applied to how we deal with life and business challenges. If you're a skier, you may pick up a pointer or two. If not, you should still understand the application this will have in your life.   Want to live a better balanced life and win in marriage AND business at the same time?

Just get going then turn. Easier to turn when you're going downhill. It's difficult to turn when you're still. Always face forward - We all go through trials but it's important to always know where you going even if you have to pivot in the midst of the journey. You'll always come back to center. Pivots and changes are ok as long as it leads to your destination. In crisis, stick to the fundamentals - Investing principles are the same during recession. Buy low, sell high. Marketing principles stay the same. COVID. Let people know what you're selling and how to purchase. Life stays the same. Keys to success are the same whether things are easy or difficult. Fear will puts you in self preservation mode and make the wrong decisions. The tendency when skiing down a steeper slope is to lean back. That is when you lose control. When a difficult circumstance arises in the business, you'll want to hold and hide.  Sliding on ice you'll want to lean back. If you stand tall and ride the slide, you'll eventually hit a softer patch of snow to turn on. Ride the slide Conserve energy for greater success - The Fundamentals & Proper technique takes less energy and improves your chances for success Running, business profits, marriage, finances, self. In business, poor fundamentals creates less efficiency forcing you to work longer, harder, and spend more money.
