I wanted to share the lessons of; curiosity, listening and overcoming perceived circumstance to create something new and become an industry thought leader in the process, with the Business Karaoke community as even if you're not building a podcast, I'm sure' you're facing similar situations in your businesses, teams or departments.

More on Anthony-James Owen
I started my education in Karate being age 5 and a half years old in 1969. First as a Judoka but moving fast into one of the first Karate classes in Germany.
My formal Karate education had a first major milestone when I was allowed to run my first classes on my own as a 2. Kyu starting at age 13. I went into numerous Karate competitions and won regional and national championships in the Kumite section of the tournaments. At tis time I did spent 6 days a week to improve my Karate skills.
After being selected to fight for the German national team (youngsters) I was intensively prepared by the national coach - which was Sensei Hideo Ochi at the time and later also by Sensei Tatsuo Suzuki. I was invited to go to Japan and study Karate Do there in 1980. After coming back to Germany to finish high school I won the Youngster European Championship and went back to Japan in 1982 for another 1,5 years.
Coming back from Japan in 1982 I started to fight in one of the first professional Karate leagues in the UK and retired offically as a competitor in 1988 because of my demaninding job in the IT industry. But never stopped training in Karate since then.
Now, in 2020 the Karate-Do is part of my life for more than 51 years now.
