FY2024 ラジオビジネス英語Lesson（１４）

Skit

I grew up in rural northeast China and came to California at the age of 18 to study acoustic engineering.
My family remained in China.
After moving to California, I realized that the power of IT could bring people closer together.

I see.
Now, we can easily communicate online.

That's true.
However, there's room to develop tools that make us feel even closer.
In 2017, I started a company specializing in high quality audio equipment for web conferences, but it was a bit premature.

I see, but the pandemic transformed the meeting landscape.

Exactly.
I believe now is the right time to make my vision a reality.
If I wait too long, online customs that develop during the pandemic may die out and interest in my business may lose steam.
