"The dying economy is the economy that you were prepared for in the schooling system... but since the two thousands, and especially since 2020 when we had the pandemic, the way that the world works no longer sits like that." - Daniel Priestley
The traditional career path your school prepared you for is dead. Entrepreneur and business strategist Daniel Priestley reveals how the industrial age model of 15 years of education, 25 years as a worker, 10 years as a manager, and retirement has been shattered by the digital revolution. Geography no longer dictates your value, physical products have given way to intellectual property and software, and the most successful professionals now operate in fast-action loops - identifying problems, assembling small teams, testing solutions, and scaling rapidly before moving to the next opportunity.
Priestley exposes the reality of the new economy where high performers juggle multiple ventures simultaneously - writing books, running agencies, developing AI products, organizing events - all with lean teams of just five people creating extraordinary value. He addresses the common trap of spreading yourself too thin across too many opportunities, becoming a "seven out of ten" at everything, and shares the strategic approach to cycling between expansion and focus phases. For professionals feeling stuck in outdated career models or overwhelmed by endless opportunities, this conversation provides a roadmap for thriving in our high-velocity, digitally-driven economy where adaptability and strategic focus determine success.
