This episode’s unusually well informed guest is Satoshi Takano.

Satoshi has had a very diverse career spanning high tech, education, sales, athlete coaching and healthcare.

Satoshi helped Hitachi Canada prepare for Y2K. At Verizon, he designed and implemented enterprise connectivity solutions. Later, at Bell Canada he focused on sales and marketing.

Satoshi led Cisco’s integration of Broadsoft, a cloud collaboration company that Cisco acquired.

Today, Satoshi’s LinkedIn lists five roles that he holds simultaneously. He is a man with many irons in the fire!

Satoshi is an agility instructor to NHL players, a leadership professor at Humber College’s School of Applied Technology, a business and career coach and co-founder of the Genus Pelino/Gordie Howe Research Institute.

Satoshi and I discuss work he is doing to help NHL players develop blistering reflexes, the role of imaging in healthcare, the advice he gives his students to propel them to success as leaders and entrepreneurs, and the impact of automation and COVID on retail, transportation and offices.
