Azby Brown is a popular, knowledgeable guest on Seek Sustainable Japan- it's an honor to have him catch us up on his book Just Enough before its re-release in April this year. https://azbybrown.com
At the beginning of the talk, Azby gives us an update from his work as the lead researcher and writer for Safecast org, on the situation in the Ukraine and the situation at the crippled Chernobyl nuclear power station under Russia's attack.
Azby then introduces the project in Chiba he will talk about at the #MinkaSummit event in April and then we go over some of my favorite key takeaways of his soon to be published paperback update to the original he wrote 10 years ago, Just Enough.
