In today’s episode of the Business Success Podcast, I chat with Chiara Terzuolo. Chiara is a polyglot, musician, narrator, writer, editor, and actor who has been living and working creatively in Tokyo since 2011. She has successfully established herself as an independent freelancer who has amassed a unique portfolio-style career that is well off the beaten path for the stereotypical office worker.

Just a few topics covered in today’s conversation include:

-Exploring and building income streams on the side to use as a springboard before leaving full-time employment.

-Focusing on providing quality to establish a robust network in Japan.

-Why Japanese language skills aren’t necessary to do entertainment work in Japan, but you should learn it anyway.

-How life as a vegan in Japan is changing.
