A great entrepreneur

Hello everyone! How are you today? This is teacher Asuka.
Yesterday, I went to a lecture by one of the famous entrepreneurs in Japan, Mr. Ieiri Kazuma, which is so exciting for me. He is the president of several companies related to the Internet.

He used to be a hikikomori, who stays in his room all the time and generally does not go out, when he was in the 2nd year of junior high school because of bullying.

At the age of twenty, his father was injured in a road accident.
Being the first child, he had to work for his family. Although he joined a company, he didn't work for a long time. He was late for work so many times that he was fired.

He decided to start his own business to earn a living. The companies he runs are related to the Internet.

He used to be a person who stayed in his house all the time, so he wanted to make 'Ibasho' where people could go and stay freely. Then he made almost one hundred shared houses called Liber-tei, which means 'freedom house. Such shared houses are used for people who are in trouble and worried about their future.

His purpose in life is for people to live freely and to give them encouragement. So, he decided to set up his businesses to help people who want to raise money to build their own businesses or to sell their goods easily.
I was so impressed by his presentation that he is running several types of businesses for social contribution and repeating trial and error many times to continue managing his way of businesses and giving encouragement to people in need.

Thank you for joining as always😊

See you next time✨
