Shobukai Shift
Shobukai Shift is a podcast dedicated to the inner work of transformation. It isn't about performance or productivity, it’s a space for real conversations about what it takes to shift paths, break from convention, and grow. It’s about the emotional, spiritual, and psychological terrain of transformation. Shobukai is a Japanese word meaning “group walking the path of mastery,” and that’s exactly what the show is about: walking the path consciously, through complexity, without bypassing the hard parts.
This podcast is to help you remember your power and worth. And maybe, inspire you to be the change you, and the world, are waiting for.
