• Japan Talks #3: Why I was on Japanese TV
    Feb 22 2025

    Welcome to another Japan Talks, stories of my over 18 years living in Japan! Today Im happy to share a story of the time I was on Japanese TV. Ive been filmed a few times during my stay here, but this is the only one (as far as I know...) that made it onto the air, and was such a surprising event as well.

  • Japan Talks #2: Negotiating with a Japanese Moving Company
    Feb 22 2025

    Continuing along the Japan Talks series, is the story of how we were able to hire a moving company to go from our 1 bedroom apartment to our house for a crazy good deal thanks to Shoko! It was also the first time I experienced working with a moving company, and Im guessing they do things a little different here in Japan.

  • Ian Rudd - Working with Chris Broad/PremierTwo | Tokyo Creative | Artedly
    Apr 9 2023

    an Rudd, someone many of you may recognize as the guy in the background making everything work smoothly, is a very talented and interesting guy. We have been friends for around 12 years and in that time I’ve heard so many stories from him and I wanted to share some of them on The Content Crush!


    It was Ian’s stories from the first Journey Across Japan with Chris Broad that inspired me to finally get started with YouTube after years of thinking about it.


    He worked for Tokyo Creative and has been a part of many projects with YouTubers and some other content creators all around Japan. He has gone freelance recently and is running an art/cafe business called Artedly, as well as a networking event to help promote artists and link creatives. Check out Artedly here for more!

    I do Twitch live streams with Ian and others all the time:
