MEMORABLE QUOTES [00:07:21] “… I think some people will think That's just because they have those qualities, that they remain fixed, that they are unable to change these aspects about themselves, that reinvention is not something possible for them. So they are just going to continue on this path and just continue living up to whatever box they've kind of put themselves in.” [00:08:11] “ If I set out everything that I'm going to do and make it as easy for myself to succeed as possible, I'm likely going to find more success than if I just started with everything jumbled.” [00:10:21] “… because you're putting on that different character. You're becoming that other person. You're becoming who you'd like to be, who the last person was that wasn't living up to standards, whatever that might be.” [00:11:03] “ You can choose to remove that belief system, install a new one and reinvent yourself that way and just kind of reinvent the way you think about things.” [00:11:57] “ I think intelligence is a function of a lot of things and that's not something we should really care about… You can be successful without being too bright. You just have to understand how systems work, whatever they might be.” [00:12:56] “Understanding that you can do something, believing that you are capable of growth or change over time and eventually, tackling those things head on and proving to yourself that you can do those things.” [00:12:58] “ it's kind of a step process, you've got to believe, you've got to see some success and then you've got to just run with it as much as you can over time.” [00:37:54] “ Curiosity is what encourages you to keep learning new skills which you are inevitably going to need in this profession.” [00:44:00] “ Humans are still some of the most powerful computers walking around, know we are incredibly attuned to in particular speech or some of these different systems and we can still make good decisions beyond what a computer can do, if we are trained properly.” HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SHOW [00:00:48] Guest Introduction [00:03:13] Ken tells us about the Silver Plaque button he got for 100,000 YouTube subscribers [00:04:54] Talk to us about where you grew up and what it was like there [00:07:58] What would you say if given the opportunity to help somebody who sees things differently?

Artificial Intelligence makes a lot of people nervous. That's understandable. Today we sit down with Ken Fujiwara of Hacarus to discuss why that is, and what this startup is doing to fix it. As in so many other fields, when comparing AI in Japan and the West, we find that the technology is fundamentally the same, but the social attitudes and business strategies are very different. Ken is a serial entrepreneur, but running an AI startup was never part of his original plan. He had bigger goals in mind, and we talk about how he plans to pivot back to them someday. We also discuss Kyoto's booming startup ecosystem and why one CEO has publically stated he wants to destroy it. It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it. Show Notes The problem with Deep Learning and how Hacarus is unique The importance of founder's hidden failures Why Ken left Sony to start a startup How to know when you need to pivot Why pivoting is hard in Japan The integrator business model and why it works in Japan Pivoting a startup to back to your dreams The importance of explainable AI Why you need to know about Kyoto startups Why one company wants to destroy Kyoto's startup ecosystem The reason you see so many interesting IoT startups coming out of Japan now Links from the Founder Everything you ever wanted to know about Hacarus Follow them on Facebook Connect on LinkedIn Get in touch by email: inquiry@hacarus.com Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan's most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. As you can imagine, I get asked a lot about how the Japanese startup ecosystem is different from others and I love that question. The problem is that people usually aren't really happy with my answers. It seems that everyone wants to hear stories about anime or strange gadgets, or cool trends in gaming, and yeah, there's plenty of that in Japan too, but the things that are really unique and interesting like evocative machines and the integrator model, and the role enterprise has to play in supporting startups, those things take a lot of time to explain to anyone who doesn't already understand Japan, at least a little bit, but they're important.  Today, we sit down with Ken Fujiwara of Hacarus and we're going to look at how Hacarus is using the integrator model to jointly develop AI products with large enterprises. Ken also explains how he had to pivot Hacarus away from his original vision and how he might be able to pivot back to it in the future. We talk about the challenges of pivoting and staying true to your mission, cover a few very good reasons why people don't trust AI, and we talk about one CEO who has made it his mission to destroy a startup ecosystem. Oh, and near the end of the show, we have a really interesting discussion about the startup ecosystem in Kyoto. There really are some amazing things going on in Kansai, but you know, Ken tells that story much better than I can, so let's get right to the interview. Interview Tim: So, I'm sitting here with Ken Fujiwara of Hacarus, and thanks for sitting down with me today. Ken: Thanks for having me. Tim: Hacarus is a collection of AI platforms that's targeted both at medical and industrial use but you can probably explain this a lot better than I can, so what exactly does Hacarus do? Ken: Alright, so Hacarus is basically AI startups and provide AI desk applications for medical, such as AI-enabled diagnosis solutions and for manufacturing industry, we provide digital inspection services, and one of the core differences of our company is that we don't use a mainstream AI technology called deep learning. We use something else. Tim: I've noticed that, so you've talked a lot about your ability to create AI models based on very small data sets. How does that work? I mean, what exactly are you guys doing, if you don't mind me asking what the "secret sauc...

I love math and logic. Math and logic are true for me. Through them, deductive reasoning can be applied to make educated decisions. I love learning and educating. I learn a lot by listening to others and, above all, by observing their actions, doing and applying what they say. That's the truth. Get on the logic train. For that, you must apply math and logic to the financial industry. Many financial advisors teach us to do one thing, yet the industry is doing the exact opposite to create a lot of wealth. Let's do what they do!   Ken Greene transitioned from being a Professional Engineer (P.E.) to the “Engineer of Finance.” His goal is to help people become financially independent and help them earn better yields with less risk by investing Off Wall Street.   Links and Resources from this Episode DISCLAIMER For resources and additional information of this episode go to http://engineeroffinance.com  Connect with Ken Greene http://engineeroffinance.com  Office 775-624-8839 https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-greene  https://business.facebook.com/GreeneFinance Book a meeting with Ken If you liked what you’ve heard and would like a one-on-one meeting with the Engineer Of Finance click here   Show Notes Get on board the logic train - 3:51 There’s no true or false - 4:22 Why Ken loves math - 4:38 I like teaching and learning - 6:01 What’s truth for Ken - 6:16 Poverty is the ultimate killer - 7:15 Step on board the logic train - 7:37 He likes watching people through their actions - 8:24 Amazon’s approach - 9:45 Having a love-hate relationship with the financial industry - 10:09 Determining what’s true and what’s false - 11:01 The importance of teaching math - 13:36 Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here   Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

Turn off mainstream news media. Ken lists alternative news websites that provide real information. Trump is chess and the left are checkers.                                      PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 3:                                Government bureaucracy incompetence.

Ken Greene thought he knew so much, but boy was he acting stupid being so frugal all his life. He wanted to retire by 30 and move into a lavish waterfront home on Lake Tahoe. To try and get there, he became that idiot who risked all his money chasing after outrageous returns via aggressive joint ventures, real estate and the stock market. 33 became his new 30, because it was then he became financially independent; he could retire…so I thought (remember, I was an idiot). But, he was an idiot with a house and 40 acres he owned outright. He had all kinds of investments and kept his money working, not sitting in a bank getting less than 1% in interest. He also had a great job working as a professional engineer (P.E.). Then 2008 kicked him in the stomach, and in the head, and a few times in the kidneys, and once in the head again. His investments vanished and the land he owned might as well have. Good thing he didn't save a dime. To be kind to my younger, know-it-all self, it all came down to understanding liquidity and cash flow (and that stubborn guy knew zip). There he was with nothing. He lost his house, sold his land for pennies, and became a punching bag for creditors. With no engineering work to be found, he took a sharp turn and jumped into the insurance and financial industry. At first, he really struggled. he was surrounded by an industry filled with people who only cared about closing the sale, dismissing any effort to educate their clients. Luckily, he did find a few mentors who valued educating their clients.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome a mononymous icon in the world of advertising: Spanky. Ken “Spanky” Moskowitz has worked for some of the biggest brands in the world, including kicking off a huge campaign for Coca-Cola. On today’s episode, Spanky tells us how he got his nickname, why he embraced it, how story can transform advertising, and how you can tap into your own personal history to make your advertising connect with your audience. Spanky is such a great podcast guest, full of high energy and incredible insights. Literally a life spent in advertising Despite being saddled with a nickname he (initially) hated, Spanky always dreamed of carving out a spot for himself in branding. When he was 13, the very same uncle who gave him his nickname also gave him $500 in cash, and he was able to take that money and make himself a small recording studio. But instead of making music, Spanky made advertisements. He’d always been fascinated by radio ads, and so at 13 he hung out in his house while his family went to the beach and recorded high-quality ads that no one would hear. You know how they say you should do what you love and what you’re passionate about? It doesn’t get much more passionate than a 13-year-old kid making ads for fun. The key to writing great copy This show is called Just the Tips, so we asked Spanky to tell us exactly what the key to writing great copy is. And his answer is maybe a little counterintuitive: Stop trying to write great copy. And what he means by that is stop trying to make a pitch, or writing what you think is the greatest copy in the world. The key is to dig into your life experiences, try to tap into the pain and the joy of your intended audience, and write to that. Tell stories, because stories connect every one us. As Spanky says, if movies were written like ads, they’d bomb. But how do you convey a story in a short ad? Keep listening. How to make your ads story-based Spanky told us this story about a friend of his who owned a swim school. And the ad they were using was very pretty, showed happy kids swimming. But they weren’t getting any conversions. So Spanky dipped into his own childhood, when an incident in a pool almost led to him drowning because he couldn’t swim, and he crafted a 100-word ad that appealed to that fear in parents. He put together the ad and almost instantly they had six months of bookings. And that’s what Spanky has learned: Companies get caught up in what their offer is, but forget the why behind why their audience may even want that offer. Not every ad needs a story Even though Spanky is an evangelist for making your ads a story, he says that not every ad needs a story. An example of that may be when you’re working someone through a sales funnel. Maybe the story grabs them, but the second time they see an ad, it’s just a straight list of sales and benefits. Or maybe your first ad doesn’t have a story but the re-targeting ad does. You need to think through what works best for your company, but you should have the story in mind whenever you’re crafting your ads. Spanky is a true pro, and this is a must-listen episode of Just the Tips. Outline of This Episode [1:42] Why Spanky? [4:35] How Spanky got into copywriting and branding [8:32] Getting his start in radio [10:00] The key to writing great copy [17:35] Spanky shares an example of making a whiskey ad emotional [23:23] Should every ad tell a story?
