Storytelling
My video ideation process combines education, entertainment, and storytelling to create engaging and relatable content. It’s not just about showcasing a product or service—personality and authenticity play a huge role in building trust and audience connection. By blending valuable insights with compelling narratives, I craft videos that inform, entertain, and leave a lasting impact.
MATOKA Youtube Channel
After several years in the fast-paced startup tech industry, I hit a point of burnout and knew I needed a change. That desire for something new led me to Japan, where I immersed myself in the culture and language. Inspired by my experiences, I launched the MATOKA YouTube channel as a way to educate and connect Japanese and Western audiences through engaging, insightful content.
What started as a passion project soon grew into a cultural lifestyle brand, covering everything from Japanese food, anime, and language to social media growth and industry trends. Along the way, we’ve partnered with like-minded companies that share our vision of bridging cultures through storytelling and education.
Our journey continues to evolve, and our latest venture—the We’re Not Daijoubu Podcast—is just the beginning. We’re excited to keep creating meaningful content that entertains, educates, and brings people together.

We’re Not Daijoubu Podcast
The We’re Not Daijoubu Podcast is a cultural lifestyle talk show that is split into two currently running series on YouTube. Before The Pod is the precursor segment, which leads to the main We’re Not Daijobu Podcast series. Daijoubu (大丈夫) is the Japanese word for “ok”, which in turn translates our podcast title to “We’re Not Ok”. Hosted by MATOKA, We’re Not Daijoubu focuses on normalizing the idea that people are NOT OK.
We cover a wide range of topics related to modern life, including social media's impact on mental health, the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, and the importance of understanding and bridging different cultures. We also delve into the struggles of navigating adult life and the importance of acknowledging and addressing when things are "not ok." The podcast aims to provide a safe space to amplify the voices of people who struggle while also learning from their mistakes and celebrating their successes. Watch the latest episodes on YouTube!
