Recently having a son made me question the current education system and begin a search for alternative methodologies. This one is really interesting. Any thoughts?

The UK is losing its entrepreneurs.

•3.5M business owners will retire by 2030
• 70% have no succession plan
• Big firms are buying everything

No one will steal your idea.

Ideas aren't worth anything.

The value is in the implementation.

[Russell Hewes @HewesRussell]

Heard it here first!

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

I know you have great ideas in your head.

I know you could be positioned as a Key Person of Influence and have a massive explosive moment if you got onto the right platform.

But the key is that you need to start early.

If you want to get onto a big platform 2-3 years from now, it starts with the things that you're doing this year.

SpaceX has people questioning themselves this week. Elon launches robotaxis, helper-robots and AI data centers in a week. Then he sends a skyscraper into space and has it fall back to earth and 3D parallel park.

Meanwhile we’re all proud of hosting a Zoom call, hitting the gym twice and posting a decent update on LinkedIn without spelling errors.

Here's my conversation with @jeffbezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin. This is his first time doing a long-form conversation of this kind, and it was an epic one.

It's here on X in full & is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else.

@DanielPriestley @itsscoreapp Would suggest removing the credit card details for something like coach led based studio classes, we have a VIP 3 classes free offer, we are worried people will book and not turn up?

@DanielPriestley Who will be the emperor of this new empire?

[George Mack @george__mack]

Who is a high agency person you've never heard of?

Yukio Shige.

The man who's prevented 789 suicides.

One of my favorite questions to ask:

"What movie should Hollywood be making instead of endless remakes like Transformers 12?"

Yukio's story is top of that list.

Every day, he goes to a notorious suicide location in Japan: Tōjinbō cliffs.

Why?

1. Yukio's Motivation

Yukio was in the police. Towards the end of his career, he became exhausted from fishing dead bodies from the ocean

During one of his last shifts before retirement, he met a married couple on the cliffs.

They had mountains of debt.

And wanted to end their lives by jumping off the cliffs.

Yukio managed to convince them not to -- and took them to the local authorities thinking they'd help.

5 days later - he received a letter:

"You were very helpful. The authorities didn't do anything... So we'll say goodbye here"

The couple took their lives -- and it broke Yukio's heart.

Upon retiring, rather than sit back and relax as he deserved...

He decided to go to the cliffs every day.

Using his binoculars, he would look out for anyone who looked suicidal.

2. The Problem

The cliffs became a sick tourist attraction due to the number of suicides:

1. It made it difficult to spot the suicidal people

2. It was marketing itself as a place for suicide -- causing more suicidal people to go.

3. The High Agency Solution

Here's how he spots the suicidal amongst the tourist crowd:

• Won't be smiling or taking photos
• No cameras or souvenirs.
• Dark fashion colors -- and stood in more dangerous positions

Anyone who looks alarming - he will go over and start a conversation with them.

It's common that grown adults will just break down in tears immediately on the spot.

Yukio calms them down and invites them into his cafe for a chat.

He then keeps regular contact with them -- and often speaks to their family members.

His cafe is always open whenever they want to talk.

He keeps track of every life he's saved: The last public number was 789.

If you want to go much deeper and see the real story - I highly recommend a 45-minute documentary I've found.

It only has 40K views on it. I'll attach it below.

Probably made up but the example is accurate …
