- 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.

Being an immigrant or ex-pat is one of the hardest and weirdest things a human can do. You leave behind your entire life, work, and support system to have a better life. It's complex, expensive, and emotionally challenging. 

So, there's a big question remaining: Are you ever able to fully integrate into the new country? 

Senait Mesfin Piccigallo gives us clues on how to cruise through the process of being an immigrant.
