Guest Comments
Osamu Suzuki (Representative of Startup Factory)
Podcasts are interesting because the guests, unlike live radio shows, can let their guard down a bit (laughs). I feel like we can create something quite fascinating as a program that delves into "life" without worrying about time, exploring things we haven't talked about elsewhere. Please look forward to it!
