The Asia Tech Podcast spoke to Takahito Iguchi...you know who he is.  You remember his photos in those cool-looking glasses as the Japanese competitor to Google Glass.  He is back with a new product called CubeMint, an attempt at creating an offline to online audio metaverse.

Some of the topics that Iguchi-san covered:

• His original product launch of Sekai Camera
• Moving to San Francisco from Japan to get better connected to the VC and startup world
• Raising $15MM for Sekai Camera at a Techcrunch event
• Leaving Sekai Camera to found Telepathy
• Eventually getting fired from Telepathy and losing everything
• Feeling depressed and considered leaving the startup community completely
• The realization that many people feel isolated and that audio is a great connector
• Creating the audio metaverse and CubeMint, currently using Polygon's Matic
• The merging of physical spaces and the CubeMint metaverse
