What insights does Daniel Priestley share about entrepreneurship?
So it's the same thing with content. You know, it's the same thing that AI is going to do. It's going to hyper consume.
What's the greatest fear you have? I mean, you've got three kids. They're about to be, you know, some in their teen years in a few years.
What's the fear you have around where they will be in society and how to set them up for success and be more creators versus consumers when it is so easily in an adolescent brains to do what your friends are doing and want to be on social media because they're on it and then that leads to just more consume, consume, And then reflection of how can I look better?
How can I become more, you know, good looking in the world and get more validation, more attention and go down that slippery road.
I guess my greatest fear is that my kids stopped coming to me to talk about this stuff. You know, that they're dealing with something and I don't know about it. That would be a great fear of mine. Because as someone who, I was born in 81. So I experienced life before computers and phones. And I also experienced the shift to personal computing, shift to mobile, cloud, now AI.
So I have this longer term context window of what life can be like and what life should be like and, you know, all like enjoyable, you know, what's good, like, you know, what has worked for many, many generations. So I would just hope that we always have an ongoing dialogue about this sort of stuff and that they can understand that this stuff can be the greatest asset, the greatest tool.
But like any super powerful technology, it's going to be a double-edged sword. Yeah.
It seems like school is kind of irrelevant in what they're teaching these days.
It seems like just going to learn math or... The genesis of school was to create factory workers. This is not some conspiracy theory. That's what it was for. It was the Prussian, the German army wanted to create soldiers. They created the Prussian schooling system. Guy from Massachusetts came out and saw it, was like blown away. It was based on a barracks with uniforms and all this sort of stuff.
