#17 A Must-Listen for Business Professionals: Meta-Shigoto-Ron
In this episode of our podcast, which helps listeners regain a sense of the days of the week amidst the busyness of daily life, our host, Curry Life-san, shares his recent family getaway to Bokkanosato in Gifu Prefecture.
A holiday at Bokkanosato with the family.
Curry Life-san drove less than two hours from Nagoya to visit Bokkanosato in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture. One can almost picture him enjoying the park, where lavender is currently in full bloom, and interacting with cows, horses, and sheep. The relaxed atmosphere of the park leads to the core topic of this episode: an unexpected competition he encountered.
Participating in the 20-yen Slipper Throwing Contest.
The park hosted a competition to see who could throw a slipper the furthest—the aptly named "Slipper Throwing Contest." Curry Life-san participated in this charity event with great enthusiasm, which captivated both adults and children. Although he threw it nearly 10 meters during practice, a certain incident occurred during the actual event, leading to an unexpected result.
How an obsession with winning and losing drives work motivation.
Reflecting on the frustration of the contest, Curry Life-san realized that experiencing the feeling of "winning and losing" for the first time in a while can have a positive impact on motivation in both work and private life. The conversation then transitions to the podcast "Meta-Shigoto-Ron," where Mari Tamaki and Takumi Okajima discuss topics such as the "framework of speaking to appear intelligent," which can be applied to business.
