Maction Planet Founder Mac guests on the ‘Small Business Japan’ podcast

PRESS RELEASE: Maction Planet is excited to announce that Mac, Founder and Lead Guide of Maction Planet, was the special guest on Episode 43 of the Small Business Japan podcast hosted by Joshua M. Smith, PhD.

The Small Business Japan podcast is a collision of a passion for Japan and entrepreneurial pursuits. Founded by Joshua M. Smith, PhD, the goal is for the interviews and stories to inspire, encourage and motivate people to take the leap into a Japan-related niche, and to provide education and entertainment for those already engaging in business. 

“Mac seemed like an obvious guest for our podcast.” said Josh. “With the current crisis impacting global tourism so much this was the perfect time to have him on the show.”

“When Josh invited me on the Small Business Japan podcast I was flattered and honored. Recording the show was a lot of fun and I hope listeners enjoy… err… listening to it!” said Mac.

During the podcast, titled “Building a Business in Japan Based on Quality w/ Mac Salman” Josh and Mac discuss the Maction Planet journey and about how to build a business in Japan that revolves around the passion to deliver personalized journeys and experiences.  

Some choice quotes from the episode:

“I have always believed that a quality product will sell itself” 

“Even though you are a solopreneur you need to develop a team, but still oversee things. Especially in the early stages you need to have an understanding of every part of your business.”

“If you make sure that you provide an experience which is really not replicable, then your customers will be doing your selling for you.”       

“Personal pride in your business is essential but sometimes that pride could hinder your growth, but the bigger question is what is that growth and what does it mean to you?”
