Steph Smith: “This opportunity is totally overlooked”

Alright. Steph Smith's here. Steph is back. And your whole thing is finding up and coming trends. I call them gold mines. Some people just come back and show you a little piece of gold. Steph shows you where the mine is. We all run into these generation defining stats throughout our lives, and most of us are just like, oh, that's cool. And so I compiled a 100 plus of these. There's so many here. I love this one, Breakup Cake. Nerd Neck, the Dyson mask, a search algorithm that was inspired by ants. I need to write this down. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, I think there's a there's a growing business here. We use this phrase, one chart businesses, because you just see this chart and it, like, you said, well, there that thing's obvious. Just get into that industry. You have one here. You said, in the, in United States, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that nursing will be the fastest growing occupation between 2020 and 2030, growing in number by 275,000, jobs. That's insane. That's insane. Talk to me about this nursing thing. Yeah. Well, I mean, again, it's like a pretty clear trend that comes with a bunch of people getting getting older. Like, everyone's talking about AI, and that's great. But what about the billions of people around the globe that are, you know, 65 plus that are just gonna need physical human support? So nursing's one area. Also, the the rest of that stat talks about in Japan, the number of nursing homes has risen nearly 50% over the last decade. And Japan is interesting because it's kind of like this early case study where they've hit this silver tsunami a little earlier than, a lot of other countries. Why Japan? I think they just hit the declining birth rate earlier than many other countries. And so, you know, another interesting you could say opportunity, maybe just an interesting thing for individuals to explore. But because Japan hit the, like, silver tsunami a little earlier, they have this interesting thing where they're giving away free houses or super cheap houses, sometimes free. They're called Akiya's, a k I y a. I was in Japan this summer, and we did a walking tour. And they took us around, and they were showing us these houses, and they're like, see this house? And it was like in the middle of Osaka. It was a little rundown for sure, but they were like, this this house is free. And we were like, what do you what do you mean? But because there's so many of these people who have grown old, unfortunately passed away, and then there's also some social aspects of the IKEA's where in some cases, not all because Japanese people really care about status. If, let's say, they grew up in a poor neighborhood, their parents passed away, and then they've moved into, you know, a …
