    Ep 2: Remote from Okinawa

    Can you juggle family, side projects, health, and still make real startup progress? This week I share how I’m structuring my time as a founder, why rigid schedules backfire, and how small, consistent bets compound into leverage over time. I also dive into what it’s really like working remote from Okinawa in today’s Japan tech industry — the upsides, the tradeoffs, and why I think the “1-person unicorn” path is more appealing than ever. 🎧 Whether you’re an indie hacker, startup founder, or tech enthusiast curious about the Japanese scene, this episode blends tool reviews, founder progress logs, and opinionated takes — with a slightly playful edge. — Follow @stackedinjapan on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube for short-form takes.

  2. Ep 1: The 1-Person Unicorn

    Ep 1: The 1-Person Unicorn

    Can one founder really build a billion-dollar company… solo? This week I test Claude Code CLI, hack on a local AI assistant, and share why the 1-person unicorn might be closer than you think. This week’s stack: Tool of the Week – Claude Code CLI Easy to set up with multi-session prompting, but slower than expected on simple tasks. Verdict: ✅ Stack — once you’ve built some experience. Founder Log – Building a Local AI CLI My stealth “Exec AI Assistant” experiment hits corporate API walls… but Jira plays nice. From summarizing Slack threads to tracking tickets, I’m seeing how much grunt work I can offload via the terminal. Quick Take – The 1-Person Unicorn Could a solo founder scale to unicorn status? AI, automation, and smart constraints make it more realistic than ever — but there are still hard limits every founder should know. 🎧 Whether you’re an indie hacker, startup founder, or tech enthusiast curious about the Japanese scene, this episode blends tool reviews, founder progress logs, and opinionated takes — with a slightly playful edge. —Follow @stackedinjapan on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube for short-form takes.Subscribe so you don’t miss next week’s episode.
