I had dinner last week with Jujin Giga one of the original guys at Mixi (before it was called Mixi) and Toru Maesaka a fairly new guy at Mixi. Also my friend Jordan Ritter joined (he’s the co-founder of Napster). In my last post I talked about how Japanese companies lack entrepreneurial spirit. I think Mixi is different. It was one of those rare moments in Japan when you can eat Japanese food and talk about what its like to have that “spirit.” Even though Mixi is becoming a big company I think the people who work there still have it.

Dinner with them also made me realize another common trait among people with that “spirit.” They are generally well rounded people. Easy to get along with and a open mind to different things. I think it might be common for people like us to have several hobbies or interest. Thanks guys!
