15 AUG 2022 · Something very disturbing happened in Japan recently. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in broad daylight. Abe loved Japan and America and he was vocal about it, so what happened to him in a country with nearly zero gun crimes really raises a lot of questions; including what his security detail was doing, or better stated, Not doing before and after this horrible event occurred. Next we discuss a Japanese phrase I have really embraced over the years.. HIBI-ZENSHIN. This short and simple phrase packs a lot of punch and is the source of motivation for me, and perhaps the people of Japan too after an incident such as the murder of Prime Minister Abe. You too can embrace the deep meaning of this simple phrase and possibly change your life for the better too! Finally I share with Kim a new Japanese snack we found.. It is crunchy (lots of ASMR!!), salty, spicy with seaweed and a taste of plum at the end!! Quite a snack; Yummy and great to have Kim back in the studio again!!
