You\u2019re reminded everywhere you go\u2014in every corner, of every classroom, of every campus. It may as well be written on the walls. Because of that, we know our students have an even better nose for Hult DNA than we do. Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/landing\/hult\/recommend\/\">Friend Referral Program<\/a> puts the power in their hands, giving them a chance to help choose the next generation of business talent. And it doesn\u2019t hurt that they happen to be some of their closest friends. In this series, we\u2019ll be shining a light on some of the stories that have made this program a success.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This time around its Yuki Kajiyama, who&#8217;s currently powering his way through a Master\u2019s in Business Analytics at our San Francisco campus. He spent some time with our copywriter, Noah Ackland, to talk about his friend Sora, their joint love of running, and a potential caffeine-fuelled business venture.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-xlarge fasc-type-glossy fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/landing\/hult\/recommend\/\">Refer a Friend<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: Hi Yuki! I know you referred Sora but I don&#8217;t know how you met.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yuki: We were in junior high school together. So we\u2019ve known each other a long time\u2014since we were little kids in fact. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: Oh cool, so were you friends right away?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yuki: Yes, we were friends straight away. So I knew why I wanted to refer him to Hult as I\u2019ve known him many years.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: And why did you want to refer him?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yuki: His leadership qualities. He has the right mindset to be a leader. For example, in 2011 there was a huge earthquake in Japan. He was one of the first responders and cooperated with lots of entertainers and musicians. He made sure they cheered up all the children and old people and stayed to volunteer long after the earthquake hit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\" wp-image-27296 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-01.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-01-266x345.jpg 266w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-01-385x500.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-01-768x997.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: Wow, so we\u2019ve got an earthquake hero at Hult!

We were just the other day talking about running. We\u2019re both in the Hult Running Club\u2013 it\u2019s probably the thing we do most together. We can get quite competitive, but I\u2019d say if it came down to it, I&#8217;d admit he\u2019s probably a bit better at it than me!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: Oh, why do you think that is?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yuki: He\u2019s highly motivated.

However we see a lot of each other as we\u2019re both at the San Francisco campus. We spend most of our time running or talking about Tokyo, our home city.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: It\u2019s so cool you still maintain that solid foundation of friendship.

The truth is that Japanese people are very shy in general. I think it becomes very obvious in some classes when we are encouraged to speak, and all the other students are so bold, and we remain quite quiet. However, we were much shyer before. I remember how shy we were before Hult, now we speak so freely.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: Where do you think this new skill is most useful?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yuki: The Future Mindset Challenge. It\u2019s my final core course. It\u2019s important you are a good communicator and are not shy because it\u2019s not just Business Analytics students you\u2019re working with. I have to collaborate with MBA and International Business students as well. So luckily, I have Sora to help me out because he\u2019s MIB! It feels good to be challenged, to move outside of your comfort zone.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\" wp-image-27298 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-03.jpg 779w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-03-500x345.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hult-Referral-Campaign-Yuki-03-768x529.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: it seems like referring Sora to Hult was the best thing that you could have done!

Luckily we\u2019ve had some experience together working towards a common goal. Back in Tokyo, we were in a travel club together. I was the president and he was the vice president. The thing is we went to different universities! So the travel club spanned lots of universities. 12 I think. I really enjoyed building the travel club up from something so small to being something people from all universities can enjoy. Based on this experience, I think we\u2019ll go into business together in the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noah: Very cool, can you give us a sneak peek as to what the business might be?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yuki: A coffee shop sounds good. Yeah, a chain of coffee shops would be good, Sora has lots of experience from his student days in Tokyo from working in coffee shops. And I love coffee so that always helps. Maybe he can be the president this time, and I&#8217;ll be the vice president. It doesn\u2019t matter what the venture is because we\u2019ve been friends for this long, it feels natural that the next step is to go into business together.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you&#8217;re ready to get your business brains in gear like Yuki and Sora, check out our range of <a href=\"\/masters\/\">master&#8217;s programs<\/a> and take your skills to the next level.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hult was founded for doers.
