Origin: I just moved to Chicago after my all-in entrepreneurial ventures in Japan Failed. I'm currently looking for a global medTech leadership role (w/ benefits) so I can provide financial stability to my family. I've also built free community on Skool and am hopeful that I can progress my paid communities in a scalable way to provide additional value and financial freedom. Desired Future State: For the MedTech Role... targeting base comp 230k, working remote so I can still take care of baby Akio and Emiko (3yr), with global innovation influence ideally working between Startups, VC, and Strategics. For Skool, I'm hoping to build a thriving Free Community of around 5000 folks, and hit 40k MRR on my two paid communities in the years to come as things scale. Why: I genuinely want to provide for my children, my wife, my in-laws and break free of paycheck to paycheck. From a vocational perspective my IKIGAI is very centered on unlocking the potential of others as well as progressing innovation that heals on a global scales Fears: Order of Operations, patience, building for long term horizon, burn out, ... and whatever else crazy that God wants me to do

ORIGIN: Having been made redundant in June 2024, I made the decision to take things into my own hands in October 2024 and to go full time at YouTube this has now led to working full time on the ACT (AI Creator Tools) YouTube channel, the ACT Skool Community and the Barnabas Lawson YouTube channel. Finances are the main challenge my eyes are on God as my ultimate source. Currently with the help of the UK government Universal Income, Editing jobs, gifts and channel sponsorship I am meeting my families needs as I make massive moves in terms of networking. Meeting online and in person with some of the biggest movers and shakers in the AI Content creation space to add value to the community and open opportunities for collaboration. DESIRED FUTURE STATE: The ACT group is helping 200 people to learn the best AI Tools for planning, creating, growing and earning with video. This is happening through education and networking opportunities. Bringing together CEO's, Influencers, entrepreneurs and investors. The group is bringing in $10K MRR and growing, we have live in person events. I'm teaching at Universities events and senior schools with project based lessons and events. WHY: I'm doing all of this to help as many people as I can up skill as AI brings the biggest and fastest changes any of us have seen. My desire is to be at the centre of the AI media conversation so I can help influence the direction it takes for good especially for the younger generations. Also to provide financially in abundance for my family and to help others who need financial help too. FEARS: Ultimately the fear of God, to honour Him in all I do. I need to put my finances in order and have the right team around me, to help support the work.
