Invision's New Podcast: A Whimsical Business Documentary

Invision, a company based in Nakameguro, Tokyo, operates under the concept of being the "source" for companies and local communities, especially in the context of HR and organizational development. The company's core mission revolves around nurturing essential human connections by promoting the natural characteristics of organizations, referred to as "odashi."

On November 21, 2025, Invision will launch their podcast, titled "Whimsical Business Documentary," on YouTube. The podcast aims to share genuine insights from the team, as they navigate challenges in team-building and management. This initiative is targeted at business owners facing similar challenges, offering them an engaging way to unwind while gaining valuable perspectives.

The Inspiration Behind the Podcast

The idea for "Whimsical Business Documentary" originated from frequent inquiries by clients: "How do you approach team-building?" Invision's representatives, including CEO Seigo Yoshida, are in a constant state of exploration themselves. Yoshida reflects on the complexities of establishing effective routines and understanding one’s core values. He emphasizes that one's intrinsic values dictate the quality of life, stating, "Life is ultimately shaped by your rooted values. When you define what matters most to you, creating positive routines becomes simpler, allowing you to disregard distractions."

Yoshida has his own personal routines: cooking and enjoying a drink weekly, reflecting on readings every Sunday in various relaxing settings, running 100 kilometers each month, and ensuring eight hours of sleep each night to maintain physical well-being. This foundational approach to team-building and self-discovery leads to the idea of documenting these experiences in the podcast format.

After consulting with Okayama, a public relations strategist, the suggestion to utilize audio broadcasting became appealing. Interestingly, Yoshida has long likened the company’s atmosphere to the famous Japanese radio program "All Night Nippon," sparking excitement about the potential of establishing a similar platform within Invision. However, the proposed launch timeline was consistently pushed back, prompting Yoshida to voice his concerns about the delay.

Finally, ready to take action, Invision equipped themselves with new recording gear and set a plan—though they intended to record with a loose format that includes digressions, encapsulating the essence of "Whimsical Business Documentary." Each episode is scheduled for bi-weekly release every Friday at 7 PM, leaving listeners intrigued about the lasting nature of this venture.

Challenges in Japanese Recruitment

The problem of young people leaving their hometowns for urban job opportunities is a glaring issue in Japan. Notably, the trend shows graduates seeking employment outside their prefectures, resulting in a net outflow, particularly in the 20 to 29 age demographic. Conversely, Japan boasts an impressive number of long-established companies—those with 100 or 200 years of history—focusing on growth through regional strengths.

This inequality highlights the need for innovative practices beyond traditional job advertisements. Companies must create immersive experiences to appreciate the local industry and vocation's richness and significance, delivering messages that resonate with potential talent.
