Echo Fox | TOKIDO INTERVIEW, Part 2/2 (timestamps)

USE THE TIMESTAMPS below if you are short on time. You’ll whiz thru it.

This interview is THE reason we went to Combo Breaker.
I’m very proud of it. It's jammed with inspiration and insight.

Tokido was fantastic and sat with us for over 2 hours.
He speaks only in Japanese so that we can get more in depth answers - something he and I had been planning for a while.

Finally, this is mostly unedited. I like it that way. Kinda raw.
