This comprehensive episode is a true "memoir" with Greg's Story of the Dale Carnegie Institute of Japan. His recount of the past, family lineage, academic achievements, karate mastery, and career path is remarkable, with illustrative stories abound. Childhood in the Australian bush built resilience as Greg worked hard beside his father. In his teens, he became hooked on karate and accomplished an unheard-of ascension (from white to black belt) in 19 months! Karate and learning Japanese drew him to Japan, where Greg assiduously worked towards his Ph.D. During his stint with Austrade, Greg and his partners placed a bid for the Dale Carnegie franchise in Japan (Greg is now the sole owner). Greg views Japan as the best place to age, with its safety, convenience, efficiency, and respectful people.
