Today we have David Pinsker, co-author of "Stories from the Genba"

(featured in the Frank Foley episode), whom I coincidentally met at a

social event. David discusses his upbringing in a close-knit family,

sharing cherished memories. He pursued modern languages during his

college years and arrived in Japan in 1979 to teach English

communication. David said that the James Bond 007 film "You Only Live

Twice" inspired him, and he adapted smoothly to Tokyo life, except for a

period of desolation after two and a half years. Presently, David works

as a senior consultant at LHH.
