Yudai is one of those individuals where you feel an immediate presence. An aura of warmth and kindness. In this episode Steve and Yudai meet up at his popular little coffee shop in Chigasaki Japan. A small yet cosy space that is an extension of Yudai's low key, beautifully curated humble approach to life. They discuss his childhood struggle of finding his path through failure & experimentation. Although Yudai was always near the ocean as a child, his love for Surfing was tainted by an aggressive approach to its introduction by his father. He decided that Baseball and later on Basketball were going to be stepping stones, chapters of curiosity. All of which led to a later reconnection to Surfing and the Ocean. In a somewhat crazy pivot - Yudai decided to take up Drift car racing. a passion that is still with him today. Yudai's journey is testimony to his curious, inquisitive nature. His latest projects which include owning his own boutique coffee shop, organic micro farming to building farm to table experiences, are all part of his bigger dreams.
