障がいを持った人でも好きなことを好きな時に楽しめる、自由に暮らせる、そんな社会はどうすれば作れるのか？

How can we create a system where people with disabilities become free?

ー髙橋圭さんが新しいソーシャルビジネス「フクフクプラス」に入っていったのはそんな疑問からでした。フクフクプラスの「フク」は「福」。障がいを持ったアーティストのために、彼らと一緒に経済的な価値を創り出し、それによって彼らだけでなくみんなが幸せになって欲しいと考える、まさに「福福」な会社です。

インタビューのパート1は日本だけでなく国境を越えてフクを世界に広げるという夢について。パート2は高橋さんがこのビジネスに飛びこんだ理由、その動機、未来へのプランなどを「チーフ・ストーリーテリング（物語を語る）・オフィサー」らしく、熱く語ってくれています。

Free to enjoy what they want, when they want? The question got Kei Takahashi involved in a new social business startup, Fukufuku + . “Fuku” means happiness or well-being in Japanese. Their work is on creating economic value for and with special artists who have disabilities. By doing so, they want to make the artists and everybody involved in the process happy (e.g., “++”.) Although they are based in Japan, their dream goes beyond the borders. You will hear more about their business in Part 1. Part 2 starts with the role Takahashi-san is playing in Fukufuku +. He is the Chief Storytelling Officer. He talks about why he jumped into a business, the source of his motivation, and his plans for the future. He is, in fact, a storyteller!
