Appearance Announcement: FM AICHI "Khaos Talk Session"

Allow me to announce an appearance on a radio program.

Program: Khaos Talk Session

Broadcast date: Tuesday, January 31, 9:00–9:30 PM

Program overview:

According to a survey conducted in October 2021 by "Teikoku Databank" of roughly 400 companies in Aichi Prefecture,

the proportion of female business owners was 6.2%.

That's 1.9 points below the national average, ranking 46th—second from the bottom.

* Gifu Prefecture was 47th. Mie Prefecture was 26th.

One reason is that Aichi Prefecture has many manufacturing industries that tend to be male-dominated,

but it's a situation to be concerned about if we're to respond to a diversifying society.

In July 2022, the Aichi Credit Guarantee Association began a support program that dispatches

experts free of charge to female business owners to advise them on management concerns and challenges.

Among the many requests received is the desire for a place where female business owners can

interact with one another to share information and pick up business tips.

In response to this situation, this program, from the perspective of two female hosts,

welcomes key people from companies worth watching into the studio, and draws out

the company's origins, the triggers of its success and turning points, its current situation, and its future outlook.

That's what the program does.

And here are the two hosts of that program!

Chiyo Nakata, President of the Chaos Corporation Group, and

a photo with Tomoe Yoshikawa of FM AICHI.

On the program, we talked about the services Bien provides, the current state of sake in overseas markets,

and, as only women can, about balancing childcare and work.

Thanks to the two hosts and all the staff, the recording was warm and enjoyable.

The conversation flowed so well that the recording time flew by (laughs).

Looking back...

"I should have said it more like that," or "I should have talked about this and that too,"

and so on—my solo reflection session is in full swing, but...

how it will be edited is something even I look forward to on the day it airs ♪

If you have the time, please do give it a listen!
