Surviving the 3/11 Earthquake in Iwate | With Matt

#InsideJapan #Episode180

On this episode of Inside Japan I’m speaking with Matt. Now we started off this podcast thinking we would talk about how he moved from teaching to starting a consulting business and working for a PR agency, but the story of how Matt survived the 3/11 earthquake was fascinating and we ended up focussing mostly on that. This is an amazing story and I hope it humbles you as much as it did me.
