Summary
This edition of the recurring TIB Scramble Meetup series focuses on the creative entrepreneur's mindset, exploring how to turn ideas into viable businesses. Community manager Heather Dobbin moderates a fireside chat with Dr. Daniel Harris Rosen, CEO and Creative Director of TokyoDex, on the mindset needed to transform creative thinking into business success. In the first half, Daniel shares his Art Thinking frameworks and candid stories from more than a decade of building TokyoDex without outside funding, with practical takeaways on decision-making and leading through uncertainty. The session covers where creativity and entrepreneurship intersect, how to turn a distinctive perspective into value, and how to keep iterating through failure. The second half is an open networking session where participants share their own projects, challenges, and ideas. The meetup is aimed at founders, freelancers, corporate innovators, and creatives, and is held primarily in English with Japanese Q&A support available.
