Vince Chan

will dig deep into a significant chapter of Waverly's career, her 22 years at Chicago Booth.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to our show, Chief Change Officer. I'm Vince Chen, your ambitious human host. Our show is a modernist humility for change progressives in organizational and human transformation from around the world. Today, we are talking with Dominic Carter, CEO of the Carter Group, whose journey from Australia to Japan is anything but predictable. He didn't just move aboard.

He jumped headfirst into a new culture, built a career, burned out, left, and then came right back, this time on his own terms. In Part 1, we dig into his early days, how a fascination with Japan turned into a full-blown career, why opening a Tokyo office at 24 almost broke him, and what made him bet on himself as an entrepreneur. In Part 2, things get personal.

Dominic, now in his 50s, is facing the same challenge as many of us are, aging parents. Only he's not just navigating it, he's building businesses around it.

Let's get started.

I know there's a personal reason that led you to this next big thing. Can you share that story with us? What made this the right path for you?

Right. So.

Right. So.

Technology, no doubt, it plays a huge role. And I'll let you talk more about that in a moment. But as I was listening to your personal story, I couldn't help but relate. I'm also over 50. My parents are in the mid-70s, early 80s. And of course, many of my friends have parents around the same age. And yes, generational shifts are something we all see coming.

What affects my parents now will eventually affect me. And not just now, but in the years ahead. But don't you think part of the challenge isn't just technology?

even when it could make their lives easier, healthier, or better. So when we talk about technology adoption, isn't the biggest barrier sometimes not the tech itself, but the willingness to accept and use it?
