I invited YUYU to talk with me about competition and motivation. He told me stories from his childhood, playing baseball, and why he finally quit swimming. As a coach, he realized that sports can be fun without rivalry. Together we discussed how competition gives energy but can also create pressure, and how curiosity or personal goals can be just as powerful. This talk made me reflect on my own way of finding motivation.đ§ Full transcript, video, and more: https://sayurisaying.com Search by episode number (e.g., âEP 120â) to find what you need!đ§ Join the Penguin Family for bonus content & support the show!

In this episode, I talk about three unique coffee characters I met in Osaka. First, a âCoffee Doctorâ who keeps detailed âbean recordsâ for customers, just like a clinic. Second, a lively âOsaka Momâ clerk who gave me advice and free coffee at Yodobashi Camera. Finally, a kind âCoffee Sage,â an elderly roaster who offered generous service at unbelievably low prices. These encounters show how human connection makes Japanâs coffee culture so special.đ§ Full transcript, video, and more: https://sayurisaying.com Search by episode number (e.g., âEP 120â) to find what you need!đ§ Join the Penguin Family for bonus content & support the show!
