RetireJapan TV S01E03: From teaching English to programming in Japan (@TheYokohamaLife), and more…

RetireJapan TV is a monthly show about personal finance in Japan with news, deep dives on specific topics, interviews with guests, and as much Q&A as you can handle. 

----- 

In today's show we will welcome our first guest, LaShawn Toyoda ( @theyokohamalife )! I'm really excited to share her incredible story with you: came to Japan, worked as an English teacher, retrained and learned to code in just a few months, found a job and moved to a new career and is now making more money and enjoying her life more.  

1. Conversation with LaShawn.
2. News: a look at finance-related (mostly) stories from the news
3. Forum shorts: some interesting topics from the RetireJapan forum
4: Q&A with our live audience: join us to ask questions and comment on the show
5: Next episode: RJTV4 will be live from 20:00 on February 20th
