In this episode…
Building a business in a foreign country is never easy — but what if you also choose to become a solo parent along the way? Many professionals dream of creating a fulfilling life on their own terms, yet cultural expectations, financial pressures, and fear of judgment can make those dreams feel out of reach. How do you pursue both entrepreneurship and motherhood when neither path comes with a clear roadmap?
Yuko Tsuchida, a solo mom and entrepreneur, demonstrates how resilience and self-trust can rewrite even the toughest stories. After immigrating to the US, she built a niche tax consulting firm helping small and midsize companies claim valuable credits and incentives. But her biggest leap came outside business — choosing to become a mother by choice. Yuko candidly shares how she navigated adoption as a non-citizen, found unexpected support from her traditional Japanese family, and learned to balance leadership with parenting. Her journey reveals that success isn't about following convention but staying true to your values.
Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Yuko Tsuchida, Founder of Hito LLC, about forging her own path as an entrepreneur and solo mom by choice. Yuko talks about building a business across cultures, making bold life decisions with confidence, and finding community in unexpected places. She also shares lessons on resilience, redefining success, and embracing the freedom that comes from authenticity.
