Chapter 1: The Big Pitch
James had been waiting for this moment for months.
As the CEO of a fast-growing startup, he finally landed a meeting with a major investor from Tokyo.
This wasn't just any investor—this was the investor who could take his company to the next level.
All he had to do was show up on time and impress them.
James double-checked his calendar:
🗓️ "Meeting: 10 AM Tokyo Time"
"Perfect," he thought. "That's 6 PM in San Francisco, where I am. I've got plenty of time."
Chapter 2: The Wake-Up Call
Fast forward to 6 PM in San Francisco.
James was sitting at his desk, calm and confident.
Then, his phone buzzed.
📲 Investor (via email): "James, we've been waiting for 2 hours. Are you still joining the call?"
😱 James: "Wait… what? The meeting is at 10 AM Tokyo time… that's 6 PM here… right?"
Then it hit him.
🚨 Japan doesn't use Daylight Saving Time.
🚨 San Francisco does.
The actual time difference wasn't 16 hours like he thought—it was 17 hours.
He missed the meeting.
The investor had already moved on.
Chapter 3: Lesson Learned
James swore that day that he would never trust his own time zone math again.
That's when he discovered WorldZap—an app that instantly calculates time differences, avoiding disasters like his.
Now, every time he schedules a global meeting, he double-checks it with WorldZap.
