Introduction to 'Future Leaders Voice'

In an era where business landscapes evolve rapidly, the need for innovative insights has never been so crucial. Kicking off in January 2026 is a groundbreaking radio show titled '脱・税理士スガワラくんの Future Leaders Voice', hosted by the charismatic Sugawara-kun, who boasts an impressive 1.3 million followers across social platforms. This program, blending media, web, and offline marketing strategies, is produced by Analog PR Co., Ltd., co-hosted by the talented IMALU, and aims to deliver real-life experiences from entrepreneurs.

Concept of the Show

The program's concept revolves around providing relatable insights into the real challenges faced by modern entrepreneurs and business owners. Unlike traditional shows that primarily highlight success, 'Future Leaders Voice' aims to shine a spotlight on the learning experiences derived from failures and setbacks—what Sugawara-kun refers to as “脱線” or detours. By welcoming stories of mishaps alongside triumphs, the show seeks to connect with young listeners, giving them practical insights into both business and life.

Catchphrase

"Business and life begin with detours." Through inspiring stories of growth resulting from challenges, this show aims to empower the next generation of leaders, particularly from Generation Z, equipping them with the courage and knowledge they need.
