- Paranoia about making mistakes can traumatize a person and create mental blocks.
- Following the preset blueprints of others or being led by inflexible directions can take away inner satisfaction.
- There is a great advantage to be gained from diversity in modern society.
- Treat the content that you release into the world as a separate entity so you can keep going.
All these pieces of wisdom are the brainchildren of Japanese Folk Tale Author, Kyota Ko.
As a teenager, Kyota faced a massive void in his own knowledge of his own Japanese Culture. In his thirties, he embarked on a mission to fill that void.
Join us as we trace the Amazing journey that has made him the man of substance that he is today.
