About this episode

Nobu Yamanashi discusses modernizing his family's seafood business amidst industry changes.

The seafood sector is built on family-owned businesses that have been passed down from generation to generation. But inheriting a business looks very different today as automation, AI, and a shifting workforce are rewriting the rules of nearly every industry. In today's episode, Yama Seafood President Nobu Yamanashi shares what it's really like to take over a family business – how he's modernizing his father's company, building his own leadership identity, and where he plans to take Yama Seafood next.
