My Experience Participating in Guerrilla Tarawo

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in what is known as a "Guerrilla Tarawo."

It was a Zoom meeting hosted by the one and only Hitotarawo-san.

This time, I would like to write about my experience in two parts.

The first is how I felt about the content of the meeting.
Of course, there will be no spoilers.

The second is about my impressions of Hitotarawo-san after participating.

About the meeting content

First, to describe the content of the meeting in one word,

it was incredibly educational.

I filled several pages of my notebook with what I learned.

I also attend online study sessions for my main job, but I rarely take notes as seriously as I did this time.

Why was it so educational?

It was because he didn't just teach me the "how-to," but also

"why this method is used"

and explained it logically from that background.

Everything made sense, and I found myself nodding along as I listened.

It was very easy to understand and structured so well that the time flew by.

Usually, confusing and boring talks feel like they take a long time.

But yesterday, 80 minutes felt like an instant.

I spent such a dense and meaningful time there.

About Mr. Hitotarawo

Next, I will write about my impressions of Hitotarawo-san after participating.

I imagine most of the people who participated yesterday were hearing Hitotarawo-san's voice for the first time.

I was one of them.

Everyone probably had an image in their head unconsciously of

"I'm sure his voice sounds like this."

And I imagine you were waiting for his first words with a bit of excitement.

I also welcomed that moment with a sense of tension I don't usually feel.

And the impression I got when I actually heard his voice was—



"So gentle—"It was completely different from the image I had imagined.



Gentle. And young!
I had imagined a more gravelly voice.If I may be so bold (laughs).

Ranmuscle-san also wrote about his voice, and I had the exact same impression.

And what I remembered was
the words that Ippobito-san wrote about Mr. Hitotarawo before.

What left a particular impression on me was that his voice wasn't just gentle, but that he wasa truly kind person.Ippobito-san described him as "a person like a British gentleman," and I thought that was exactly right.

In any case, his thoughtfulness is amazing.
The depth of his consideration for others oozed from every word he spoke.

I was surprised by the wonderfulness of his humanity.

As those who participated will understand, he was considerate of every single participant until the very end.

Also, in another aspect, I was impressed by his high level of risk management ability, which was cultivated through his experience as a businessman.

It was clear that he had anticipated every risk and prepared thoroughly in advance.

This was by no means a Guerrilla Tarawo held on a whim.

It was deeply felt that he had thought through every detail and prepared carefully.

As expected of someone who has succeeded in multiple businesses and achieved FIRE.

Even just catching a glimpse of that ability made me feel, "This person is the real deal."

In yesterday's Zoom, I was able to learn both the high quality of the meeting content and the wonderfulness of Hitotarawo-san's humanity.

If Guerrilla Tarawo is held again in the future, I would certainly like to participate.

It was an 80-minute session that was full of learning and very pleasant.

Thank you very much for such a meaningful time.
