"From a train line walk to a philanthropic brand" 

When Joe Pournovin is not a second-grade teaching assistant at Seisen International School, he is addicted to dreaming up crazy ideas and making them happen. He spent the last 12 years of his life working with a team of international volunteers growing an idea. A charity trainline walk called Tokyo Yamathon.

In those 12 years, it took bundles of passion, bundles of sweat, and bundles of failure, for the team to turn this trainline walk into a philanthropic brand that unites an army of good people to do something extraordinary for themselves and at the same time, provide a platform for others who need it.

Joe is going to take you on a journey of the lessons he learned along the way to inspire you to look deeper into your ideas and go the distance with them, even when life gets in the way.
