On today's episode I'm joined by Callum Black - globetrotting karate blackbelt.

Callum has lived in Tokyo the past 8 years and in that time has learnt a thing or two about what it means to be a gaijin (outsider) in one of the most culturally different countries in the world. He's also a championship winning karate black belt with views on competing at 'karate's equivalent to the superbowl' in the near future.

He's a fascinating man with lots to say about the realities of living thousands of miles away from home, assimilating into another countries culture and why his passion and dedication towards karate has helped with both of those things.
