In this episode we are joined by Angel Guevara. Angel is the founder and creative lead at HYPERMILK where they strive to make marketing become art. They do this by supporting companies in Japan to create exciting and innovative social media content. In this conversation, we explore insights and strategies of how bi-lingual and tri-lingal professionals, can use their unique gift of empathy for diversity of thought to drive innovation and build creatively confident communities in Japan. And somewhat ironically, we also leave behind the cultural and language lens for a moment and simply explore what it means to tell a deeply meaningful human story.
