Negotiating in Japan is never just about numbers on a contract. It is about trust, credibility, and ensuring that the relationship remains intact long after the ink is dry. Unlike in Western business settings, where aggressive tactics or rapid deals are often admired, in Japan negotiations unfold slowly, with harmony and continuity as the guiding principles. The key is to combine negotiation frameworks such as BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) with cultural sensitivity. By doing so, foreign executives and domestic leaders alike can win deals without damaging vital long-term partnerships. Q1: Why is preparation the secret weapon in Japanese business negotiations? Preparation is the sharpest tool in the negotiation kit. Before talks begin, we must clearly define what is negotiable, what is off-limits, and what represents both our ideal and realistic outcomes. Most importantly, we must set our fallback position — the minimum acceptable deal before we consider walking away. In Japan, this process must also include anticipating the other side's goals. What would they see as their ideal outcome? What is their fallback or “exit strategy”? By mapping both sides in advance, we avoid being blindsided during discussions. Unlike the United States, where executives may improvise and pivot quickly in meetings, Japanese negotiators value deep preparation and expect the same from us. Mini-summary: Success in Japan starts with preparation — knowing both sides' fallback positions makes us credible and ready. Q2: What is BATNA and why is it critical in Japanese negotiations? BATNA — Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement — defines the point where we walk away. It is our exit strategy, our fallback, our protection against endless concessions. Without BATNA, we risk chasing the deal at any cost, eroding trust and weakening future negotiations. In Japan, patience is prized. If the buyer senses desperation, they may push harder. By quietly knowing our walk-away line, we project confidence. This is not about issuing ultimatums; it is about ensuring we never undermine our long-term credibility in the market. Companies in industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, and manufacturing use BATNA as a discipline to negotiate firmly while still respecting relationships. Mini-summary: A clear BATNA prevents over-conceding and signals quiet strength to Japanese counterparts. Q3: Why does silence carry so much power in Japanese business culture? Silence is a natural rhythm in Japanese communication, but it is often unnerving for Western negotiators. In the U.S. or Europe, gaps in conversation create anxiety, prompting businesspeople to rush in with concessions, discounts, or extra details. In Japan, however, silence conveys thoughtfulness, patience, and respect. By sitting calmly in the silence, we allow the other side to feel the weight of the pause. They may reveal information, shift position, or even concede. Silence, when embraced as a tactic, is a strategic advantage. This is not empty stillness — it is strategic patience, and it is one of the most overlooked tools in Japanese business negotiations. Mini-summary: Silence in Japan is not a void — it is a negotiation tool that rewards patience and composure. Q4: How does decision-making authority work inside Japanese companies? In Western firms, the person across the table often has authority to close the deal. In Japan, authority is distributed. Decisions require ringi-sho consensus documents, hanko seals, and alignment across departments. The person negotiating may not have final authority but instead acts as a bridge inside their organisation. We can mirror this by using the “higher authority” tactic ourselves. Saying, “I need to check with senior management,” is not seen as weak here. It reflects the reality of collective approval. This delay can buy time, cool heated discussions, and adapt to the slower, deliberate pace of Japanese corporate decision-making. Mini-summary: Authority in Japan is collective — deferring upwards is normal and effective in negotiations. Q5: What negotiation tactics are most common in Japan? Japanese negotiations often feature specific tactics that foreign executives must anticipate: Ultimatums — final deal-or-no-deal conditions that must be defused with alternatives. Persuasion through value-adds — sweeteners, incentives, or extras that cost us little but feel significant to the client. Time pressure — deadlines that push for faster decisions. Delays or inactivity — slowing responses to build pressure on us. Add-ons at the end — last-minute requests after the main “yes” is agreed, which are often easier to accept than renegotiate. Recognising these tactics helps us avoid being cornered. More importantly, by preparing our own “value-add concessions” and “low-cost, high-value incentives,” we can shape the flow of the negotiation rather than react to it. Mini-summary: Expect tactics such as ultimatums, sweeteners, time pressure, delays, and add-ons — and prepare responses in advance. Q6: How do we win the deal in Japan without losing the relationship? In Japan, closing one deal is not the finish line. It is the starting point of a relationship. Winning here means balancing firmness with respect. If we prepare carefully, set a clear BATNA, embrace silence, understand authority dynamics, and anticipate common tactics, we can achieve sustainable agreements. Unlike in Western markets, where aggressive wins are celebrated, in Japan a hollow victory damages reputation and future prospects. The real win is when both parties feel respected and motivated to continue working together. Mini-summary: The ultimate victory in Japan is not just a signed contract — it is a relationship that generates future business. Conclusion According to cross-cultural negotiation research, Japan remains one of the most relationship-driven business environments in the world. Frameworks like BATNA give us structure, but cultural fluency gives us access. By blending discipline with empathy, foreign executives and Japanese leaders alike can negotiate firmly while preserving harmony. This is how to win the deal in Japan — without ever losing the relationship.

Profitable But Worthless? How to Build a Business Buyers Actually Want with Justin Goodbread   Why High Profit ≠ High Value—And How That Mistake Could Cost You Millions   Most business owners are chasing profit… But what if the very thing you're chasing is keeping you trapped?   Imagine this: You're running a “successful” business with strong margins and great income. You're paying yourself well, your spouse is on payroll, and life feels comfortable.   Until the day you try to sell… and no one wants to buy.   This episode of Profit Answer Man reveals the dangerous trap most entrepreneurs fall into: confusing a profitable lifestyle business with a valuable one. Justin Goodbread—who scaled and sold multiple 7-, 8-, and 9-figure companies—breaks down the hard truth behind “ugly babies” (a.k.a. unsellable businesses) and how to turn yours into a cash-rich, investor-ready machine.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why profit doesn't always equal enterprise value (and what to focus on instead). The 8 core areas of a business that drive value (and where most owners get stuck). How to move from being the business to owning the business. The mindset shift that changed Justin's net worth trajectory forever. Why laser focus, not more hustle, is the real multiplier.   Key Takeaways (AKA Profit-Killing Blind Spots): Mistake #1: Believing high profit = high exit value. Investors don't buy income streams—they buy systems. Mistake #2: Staying at the center of everything. If your business wobbles when you step away, it's not a business. It's a job with a title. Mistake #3: Failing to define your ideal client. Serving everyone = attracting no one (and commoditizing your brilliance). Mistake #4: Reinventing the wheel. Frameworks like Profit First, EOS, and Justin's value-growth model already exist—use them. Mistake #5: Not taking the hard vacation. If your team can't survive six weeks without you, your valuation will reflect that.   Guest Bio: Justin Goodbread is a globally recognized business strategist, bestselling author, and founder of multiple ventures focused on helping service-based businesses maximize enterprise value.

In this episode, Anna Rose and Kobi Gurkan chat with Vikas Rushi from PSE, and Ying Tong to explore two topics at the intersection of ZK and the real-world data: zkPDF and zkID.  First they dive into zkPDF, a set of tools for proving facts on digitally signed PDFs. Vikas talks about the challenges of parsing data inside zkVMs—working with decades-old specifications that use many different encodings, and tackling practical use-cases like bank statements and ID verification. They also explain how issuers, such as India's DigiLocker, can generate proofs in a way that protects individual privacy. Next they cover zkID and the EF's work on building a system that would meet the EU's Digital Identity Framework requirements ahead of its 2026 rollout. Ying Tong explains how the EF's work on zkID differs from existing zk-based identity projects, particularly through its device-binding requirements, the cryptographic community's feedback to the EU Commission, the trade-offs between proof systems, PSE's work on standards and more. They wrap up with a chat about the challenges of revocation in both systems, and what's next for the projects.  Related links: Episode 367: Local-First with grjte and Goblin Oats Episode 366: Bringing ID Onchain with Self Episode 363: Bringing ZK to Google Wallet with Abhi and Matteo Episode 362: zkTLS with Maddy from Reclaim Episode 358: Building ZK Registries Onchain with Rarimo Episode 353: Making ZK More Human with ZK Email Episode 330: Frameworks for Programmable Privacy with Ying Tong and Bryan Gillespie Community Privacy Residency Anon Aadhaar DigiLocker

In this episode of The Product Experience, Lily and Randy dive into the nuanced world of team collaboration with Jenny Wanger, product ops consultant. Jenny challenges the overuse of RACI matrices in product teams, arguing they often obscure deeper organisational issues rather than solve them. They discuss better alternatives, the root causes behind requests for RACI, and the value of prioritising human relationships over rigid frameworks.

In this conversation, Dr. Christoph Bartneck discusses the intersection of swimming and computer science, exploring how mathematical patterns can enhance swim training. He introduces the concept of a formal swim markup language to improve data exchange and training efficiency. The discussion also delves into the visualization of swimming techniques, the importance of mental engagement in training, and the aesthetic appeal of mathematics. Christoph shares insights on the challenges of writing his book and his vision for creating a global community around swimming and mathematics.Takeaways Programming languages can optimize swim training. There's a gap in literature between math and sports science. Data exchange in swimming training is challenging. Visualizing swimming techniques aids in understanding. Mathematical patterns can enhance training routines. Repetitive tasks in swimming can be likened to repetitive songs. Engagement in training is crucial for success.

What really causes estrangement between parents and children, and how can you prevent it, especially after divorce? In this episode of The Moving On Method, host Michelle Dempsey-Multack sits down with psychotherapist and author Whitney Goodman (aka @sitwithwit) to unpack the nuanced emotional dynamics that lead to parent-child estrangement. From parentification to narcissistic family systems, Michelle and Whitney explore what it takes to be the safe, emotionally attuned parent your child needs, particularly when co-parenting in a high-conflict situation. What You'll Learn: Why estrangement is becoming more openly discussed, and what's actually driving it How parentification harms children (even when well-intentioned) The critical difference between protecting vs. over-sharing with your child How to build emotional safety and connection during divorce or co-parenting What “parenting without a roadmap” really means, and how to do it with confidence Episode Highlights: 03:44 – Is estrangement really on the rise, or are we just talking about it more? 08:29 – The difference between abandonment and emotional cutoffs 13:52 – Why parents repeat unhealthy dynamics or swing too far in the other direction 19:41 – How to avoid parentifying your child during divorce 26:35 – “My child is my rock”: When closeness crosses emotional boundaries 31:18 – What to say when your child repeats something the other parent said 34:50 – Can you be a “safe parent” even if you can't control the other home? 37:11 – Parenting through estrangement fears: What conscious parents need to hear Meet the Guest: Whitney Goodman, LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and author of Toxic Positivity. Best known for her online presence as @sitwithwit, Whitney helps individuals navigate family estrangement, generational trauma, and emotionally mature parenting through her work at callinghome.co. Tools, Frameworks, and Concepts Mentioned: Parenting Without a Roadmap – Whitney's emotional navigation model for parents without healthy templates Parentification – A breakdown of the emotional role-reversal between parent and child Narcissistic Family Systems – Traits and long-term impacts Emotional Maturity vs. Emotional Oversharing – Why kids need honesty with boundaries Safe and Stable Parent Model – A guiding principle for high-conflict parenting Closing Insight: "Bad parents don't worry about being bad parents. Conscious ones do." Being afraid your child will resent you one day is a sign you're already trying to parent with awareness. But trying isn't enough; you need tools, insight, and support.

>Join Jocko Underground< How overreacting to headlines, battlefield reports, or business setbacks creates unnecessary panic and poor decision-making. Using the analogy of a “squelch” button on military radios, he explains the need to filter noise, assess information logically, and avoid emotional responses. Leaders must detach, gather reliable intel, and act with calm deliberation. From combat to media consumption, Jocko emphasizes processing input through disciplined frameworks to avoid manipulation, maintain perspective, and preserve credibility and mental clarity in chaotic environments.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content
