Episode #36 - SPECIAL EDITION! A scary story that really happened to me!

A bluefin tuna was sold for 36.04 million yen -- around $273,000 -- at the first auction of the year at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market.

The price of the 212-kilogram fish was more than double that of the most expensive fish at last year's New Year's auction: a 211-kilogram fish that sold for 16.88 million yen -- at that time worth $145,000.

Both fish were caught off the coast of the town of Oma in Aomori prefecture.

This year's auction began at 5:10 a.m. on January 5, and around 230 tuna were sold in just 15 minutes.

Seafood wholesaler Yamayuki bought this year's most expensive fish for the sushi restaurant Ginza Onodera. The tuna was served to the restaurant's customers later that same day.

This is the third year in a row that Yamayuki has bought the most expensive tuna. However, prices had fallen in recent years as the restaurant industry suffered during the coronavirus pandemic.

Yamayuki's president Yukitaka Yamaguchi told The Yomiuri Shimbun that the increased price this year "is good news that symbolizes the gradual recovery from the pandemic."

This year's top price was the sixth highest since records began being kept in 1999.

The highest price recorded was at the New Year's auction in 2019 -- just after Tokyo's fish market moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu. At that auction, a 278-kilogram fish was sold for 333.6 million yen -- at that time $3 million -- to Kiyomura Corp., whose owner, Kiyoshi Kimura, runs the Sushi Zanmai restaurant chain.

Your Inner Saboteur is STEALING Your Profits (and Maybe Your Life!)

Self-sabotage. Sounds fluffy, right? WRONG. It’s the silent killer of success… and it’s likely rotting your English skills from the inside out.

Let’s get brutally honest. You’re doing this:

You’re playing horror movies in your head…

Picturing yourself stumbling, looking like a fool in front of clients.
Hearing your voice crack, sounding like a stumbling idiot.
Seeing yourself freeze, unable to string two words together.
Worst of all: Imagining the smirks, the laughter, the humiliation… so you just “leave the party” before it even starts.
Sound familiar? Maybe not that dramatic, but you’re doing some version of this. STOP. This shit is costing you EVERYTHING.

Every botched presentation, every lost client, every missed opportunity because you’re letting your inner critic run the show… that’s money ripped right out of your bank account. It’s years off your career. It’s a LIFE unfulfilled.

On my latest podcast, I expose exactly how you’re “beating yourself up” with your English—so you can finally understand what NOT to do and start getting paid what you’re worth.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

The hidden ways your negative self-talk is costing you deals.
How to silence the inner critic and unleash your authentic voice.
Proven strategies to build unstoppable confidence in any English situation.
This isn’t some feel-good therapy session. This is about money, power, and control.

Click to listen to the podcast NOW and take control of your English, your career, and your life.
