A couple of weeks ago I had the good fortune to sit down with Terrie Lloyd, a 51-year dual-national of Australia and New Zealand, who has lived in Japan for 26 years. A “self-made man” in the truest sense, he formed his first company on a working holiday visa at the age of 25, in Japan, and has established more than 17 companies since then.

Terrie was extremely generous in sharing his experiences. Below is part one of this two part interview. This is the second part of two part interview.
