Yusuke Inui of Unleashing Potential Talks Releasing Potential

Yusuke Inui, Director and Senior Digital Strategist of Unleashing Potential gives us his two cents on the secret to success, how to fund your dream and motivation.

What’s your morning routine?

Get up, drink a glass of water, have a shower, feed the kitten, eat my breakfast, check my emails, hit the gym, drink a cup of matcha to remind me of home (Japan) and start my work day.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

Learn a new language, get absolutely ripped, and scuba dive around the world.

What advice would you give your 20 year-old self?

Play more. Don’t concern yourself with business and the pressure to get ahead.

How do you stay motivated?

Just focus on what’s ahead of me, what’s needing to get done. Don’t whine about it, don’t procrastinate, just do it.

If you didn’t need money, what would you do?

The ultimate question! I asked my niece on how I should answer this question. She responded, “buy your niece a dog”. I’d probably start with that.

What is the secret to success?

There is no secret. Work hard, work smart.

What is the worst mistake you’ve made and how did you fix it?

Taking great people for granted. Remembering to show them appreciation.

What is your advice for people to fund their dream?

A smaller piece of something big is better than all of something small. But be careful who you bring into your team.

What is the best bit of advice, or quote, that resonates with you?

Wear sunscreen….(Youtube this)

What’s your favorite restaurant?

All my favorite restaurants are back home in Japan.

How do you keep up to date with current affairs?

A phone call with mum.

What is the secret of living a longer, more successful life?

I am no where near qualified to answer this one, I am hoping to find out someday.

What makes you feel alive?

The embrace of a lover. When your best mate hands you a beer. When my friend’s 2 year old asks me to read a book to them. Anytime I get out for a dive.
