The Age Of Disclosure Movie Release – What Does It Mean For Entrepreneurs?

For those who have not been paying attention, there is a growing topic that is ready to explode into modern human consciousness.

That topic is the one related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). The film, The Age of Disclosure, concludes from numerous government insiders that non-human intelligent beings are indeed real.

On 21st November 2025, filmmaker Dan Farah, producer of Ready Player One, who has worked with movie legend Steven Spielberg, releases on Amazon Prime, maybe one of the most jaw-dropping documentaries ever seen.

In this article, we look at what this ground-breaking release could potentially mean for entrepreneurs. Buckle up, Dorothy!

Here goes…

***Important – First, to give some context, please watch the movie trailer:

The Age of Disclosure Movie Trailer

What is Disclosure?

Disclosure is the process of revealing to the public the realities of our place in the universe and the method of admitting to the population that “we are not alone”.

In past decades, the topic has been seen as fringe, “tin foil hat” or conspiracy theory and mostly a laughing stock.

But things have changed.

Early proponents of the movement, such as retired emergency room doctor Steven Greer, started a cooperative called The Disclosure Project and held unofficial hearings in 2001.

Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project 2001

These hearings, held out of Washington D.C at the National Press Club, included over twenty military insiders, intelligence officers and government contractors. This helped to open up the topic considerably, but limited progress was made.

Since 2017, there have been further concerted efforts by many in the “UFO community” to shed light on the topic. With the aid of government insiders, there have been attempts to release information and unclassified videos into the public consciousness.

Tom DeLonge – Blink-182 and To The Stars Academy

The new 2017 drive was first led by Blink-182 musician and frontman, Tom DeLonge, who created a company called To The Stars Academy to promote the narrative.

DeLonge brought forward many government insiders onto the scene, including former government intelligence officer, Luis Elizondo, who helped bring about the eventual release of the famous “Tic Tac” UAP video and Christopher Melon, a former Department of Defence official, both of whom appear in the Age Of Disclosure movie.

The increased exposure of the topic has seen recent official U.S government congressional hearings in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Led by U.S representatives Anna Paulina Luna and Eric Burlison.

The public interest in the topic has been immense.

“Black Swan” Events – What Can Entrepreneurs Learn?

Entrepreneurs are known risk takers and move according to their future insights into the tumultuous world we live in.

But what happens when something unexpected happens? Something so unpredictable or bizarre that all bets are off.

In this article, we look at so-called “Black Swan” events and what entrepreneurs can learn from them.

Here goes…

What Is a Black Swan Event?

Historically, the term Black Swan event originates from the 17th century. Before that time, it was assumed that all swans were white.

It was not until European explorers reached Australia that they soon realised that something that was once deemed impossible, a “Black Swan”, was indeed a reality.

Minds were blown, and the term gained cultural and philosophical meaning, indicating something that is deemed impossible until sufficient evidence proves otherwise.

The phrase ‘Black Swan’ is first seen historically in a Latin expression of the 2nd century, “A bird as rare upon the earth as a black swan”, “rara avis in terris nigroque simillima cygno“.

The Black Swan event was also popularised by former Wall Street trader and scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his 2007 book The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.

The concept has since become the cornerstone of economics, risk management, sociology, and political science. So, in essence, a ‘Black Swan’ is a rare breed, something that is not everyday. But should it be feared?

The answer, as far as entrepreneurs are concerned, is that Black Swan events do indeed cause upheaval and demolition of the existing norms, but these events also create brand new opportunities.

Qualities of a Black Swan Event?

Rare and Unpredictable – A Black Swan event lies outside the realms of the expected. Nothing in the past usually points to the possibility of the occurrence of such an event. If there are indications or individuals pointing to the possibility, they are in the minority and ignored or ridiculed.
Extreme Impact – A Black Swan Event will disrupt systems. Including economic, social, technological, religious or political.
Retrospective Predictability – Post Black Swan event, analysts will claim that it should have been obvious, even though they claimed it was impossible beforehand.

Black Swan events reveal the biases of the human mind and weaknesses in the way we forecast the likelihood of future events.

These events highlight the dangers of relying solely on historical patterns and believing that the world behaves predictably.

Examples of Black Swan Events

1. The 2008 Global Financial Crisis

The 2008 crisis shocked the global economy. Prior to that event, many economists believed the financial system was stable.

The crises caused mass unemployment, business failures and trillions of dollars in wealth annihilation.

The event reshaped financial regulation and highlighted the fragility of seemingly secure systems.

2. The COVID-19 Pandemic

The spread of a worldwide virus, some argue, was predictable. However what was not predicted was the scale of the response.

By early 2020, the virus had spread across continents, and governments began to effect, a global shutdown.

Billions of people were on lockdown, told to stay in their homes, and economies shut down, leading to collapsing supply chains and overwhelmed healthcare systems.

The pandemic led to historic government stimulus programs, accelerated digital transformation, and shifted work culture toward remote and hybrid models.

3. The Rise of the Internet

Black Swan Event – The Rise of the Internet

We now all take the internet for granted, but prior to its explosive growth, few understood or expected the scale of transformation the global network would bring.

The rise of the internet is an example where opportunities were created by a Black Swan event.

The internet created entire industries, such as social media, e-commerce, streaming entertainment and disrupted others, from newspapers to retail.

4. The September 11, 2001 Attacks

The 9/11 attacks dramatically reshaped global politics. The intelligence agencies did not expect a terrorist event on the scale of what transpired on September 11th 2001.

The event led to new security measures, new laws and of course wars and conflicts globally.

5. Bitcoin and the Rise of Cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin’s rise has startled and rocked many economists, investors and even nation states.

The digital currency was initially dismissed as just a fringe experiment. But has grown from nothing into a 2 trillion dollar asset class.

Its growth was unpredictable and had profound economic implications.

What Can Entrepreneurs Do?

Black Swan events by their very nature are unpredictable, but that does not mean that, as entrepreneurs, there is nothing we can do to prepare.

Here are some tips:

Build Financial Resilience: Maintain cash reserves, avoid excessive leverage or debt. Diversify revenue streams.

Develop Adaptable Business Models: Use digital-first operations where possible, and use multiple strategies in your business. Use processes that can be pivoted easily if necessary.

Keep an Eye on Early Signals: Track emerging trends. Listen to industry groups, thought leaders and advisors. Ask yourself “what if?” questions and come up with solutions prior to the event.

Diversify Supply Chains and Partnerships: Over-reliance on one supplier could be fatal. Use multiple suppliers. Explore both local and global options.

Invest in Technology: Black Swan events often accelerate technological change. Having your technology in place could help you pivot should the worst happen.

Stay Humble and Expect the Unexpected: No matter how experienced we are, there is always something new to learn. Black Swan events force us into change. Review insurance, legal contracts, and take on fewer risky commitments. Be open to adaptability and doing things differently.

Investing in Gold – Consideration for Entrepreneurs

Bitcoin, Gold and Silver – Final Wake Up Call

Final thoughts

Black Swan events are by their very nature a rare breed. Entrepreneurs should be prepared but not afraid, as these events can bring tremendous opportunities for forward-thinking and brave entrepreneurs.

By building financial resilience, being adaptable and diversifying, entrepreneurs should aim to protect themselves from potential risks.

While we cannot exactly predict these events, we can be certain that at some point the unexpected will happen.

With that in mind, entrepreneurs who are humble and embrace change are more likely to navigate any future uncertainty.

Good luck!

How To Negotiate In Business

Many people hate negotiating, and many founders take the “take it or leave it” approach.

However, ignoring your negotiation skills can lead to lost opportunities and reduced revenue.

Negotiation should not be seen as an opportunity to win at the expense of someone else but should be seen as a way to satisfy both sides’ needs with an outcome that benefits everyone.

In this article, we look at some tips to help you achieve just that.

Here goes…

1. Preparation

How To Negotiate In Business – Preparation

You cannot negotiate effectively without first understanding your counterpart.

Ensure you fully understand their position, their goals and their pain points. Aim to find out what their motivations are and what limits they have within the business.

Always approach negotiations with collaboration in mind. Avoid over competitiveness that can lead to resentment in the negotiation process. Don’t approach negotiations with a “take it or leave it” attitude.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that being a good negotiator is playing “hardball”, so that you get what you want at the expense of others.

This is not good negotiation; even if your deal does go through, it will more likely implode once the client wakes up and understands there is little or no value in the deal for themselves.

A partnership mentality breeds trust and long-term value for your client.

2. Personality Types

How To Negotiate In Business – Personality Types

In order to negotiate effectively, you need to understand people and the different personality types.

You will need to adjust your communication style depending on the personality traits of your counterpart to be fully effective in negotiating.

a) The Analytical Negotiator

This personality type is often data-driven, and they love the small details.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that their requests for more information or detailed breakdowns are a waste of your time.

Their approach may come across as a pain and inconvenient, since they often require difficult to get hold of facts, figures and data.

If you can provide all the necessary information without being vague with your answers or emotional in your responses, this personality type will be quick to pull the trigger and make a deal once all their boxes have been ticked.

If you pressure them into making quick decisions before giving them all the necessary time and details they require, be prepared for negotiations to break down as they walk away swiftly.

b) The Competitive Type

How To Negotiate In Business – The Competitive Type

This personality type is goal-driven. They expect efficiency and do not like unnecessary detail.

You will need to get straight to the point when dealing with this personality type. Avoid all fluff, jargon, and sales speak.

You will need to demonstrate competence, but you should avoid coming across as arrogant at all costs.

Trying to “sell” them will make them walk away from negotiations quicker than you can blink your eyelids.

Aim to remain calm and match their energy to gain their trust.

Read this article on how to sell:

How To Sell – A Detailed Guide For Start-Ups

c) The Amiable Negotiator

This personality type values relationships above everything else.

When negotiating with this type of person, you will need to focus on building trust and rapport.

Before diving into business, you may need to do some small talk to get to know a bit more about each other.

Just because these types are friendly, do not make the mistake thinking they are pushovers.

Avoid the temptation of trying to steer them in a direction that suits you just because they are approachable.

Negotiations will come to a quick close if you are overly pushy or aggressive in your approach.

Focus on long-term partnership benefits and use collaborative language such as “we” and “our goals”, to get your point across.

d) The Expressive Type

How To Negotiate – The Expressive Personality Type

Expressive negotiators are often creative types and, much like the amiable negotiator, are people-orientated.

They respond well to stories, vision and a cause.

With these, you will need to keep negotiations stimulating with enough emotional appeal to keep their interest.

The expressive types will sometimes overlook the details of the negotiation, so you may need to steer them back to the practicalities of the deal and ensure you clarify everything in writing to nail down the fine details.

3. Negotiation Tactics (and How to Respond)

Negotiation tactics can be effective, but you should understand that using them comes at a risk since they have all been done to death.

Executing a negotiation tactic poorly will lead to a lack of trust and a breakdown of negotiations. The client will simply walk away.

You should avoid using these tactics, but it’s important to recognise when these tactics are being used on you during negotiations, so you can act appropriately.

The “Highball/Lowball” Offer: Your counterpart will make you a ridiculous offer. The aim is to get an emotional response from you and anchor the position of negotiation from the baseline of their offer. Deal with this by remaining calm, restating your value and redirecting the discussion to realistic numbers.
The “Good Cop/Bad Cop” Routine: One counterpart will be accommodating, and the other will be tough. The aim is to draw you in and pressure you into making unnecessary concessions. Deal with this by not favouring either side. Acknowledge the tactic by stating, “I can see we have two different opinions here…”, consider seeing each party one at a time.
The “Deadline” Pressure: Your counterpart may try to put you under pressure by insisting on artificial time constraints to force you into quick decisions. If you feel the deadline is artificial, deal with this by simply insisting on more time. If someone is pushing for an unfavourable deal urgently, today, it usually is a warning sign that the deadline may be artificial.
The “Silence” Technique: With this negotiation tactic, you make an offer and then nothing, no response. They remain silent. The aim here is to make you fill the silence by making concessions, lowering your price or reaching out unnecessarily in the interim. If you cave in, your counterpart will understand that they have the upper hand. Deal with this by simply remaining silent yourself. If some time has passed, reach out only to give additional information about the existing deal. Do not panic and alter the deal. Let the silence work for you instead.
Emotional Appeals: Some negotiators are great at using emotions to steer the negotiation process. This could involve using frustration, enthusiasm or even disappointment to shift negotiations. Deal with this by keeping your emotions in check and staying focused on the facts rather than the feelings that are being artificially created.

Being aware of these tactics will keep you calm and rational during challenging negotiations. Your goal is not to manipulate but to be professional.

4. Rapport and Trust

Negotiation is a human skill that is also necessary in business.

People are more likely to deal with someone they trust, so your goal should be to build rapport and trust above everything else.

Aim to find common ground and be prepared to listen during negotiations rather than dominating the conversation.

When your counterpart feels heard, they will be more open to compromises.

Of course, being open and honest during negotiations is essential. Do not conceal important information just to get the deal. Doing this will damage your credibility in the long term.

5. Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA)

A negotiation can only succeed if both parties “win”. These overlapping interests are called the “zone of possible agreement”.

In order to find this zone, you must not only understand your priorities but also those of your counterpart.

Asking questions, such as “How can we make this work for both of us?”, is a good place to start if negotiations come to a roadblock.

Be prepared to be flexible, but at the same time, it’s important to understand when you are prepared to “walk away” from the deal.

Having this approach means negotiations can conclude amicably without sacrificing your core goals.

6. The Follow-Up

You should always fully document any agreements reached to avoid misunderstandings further along the line.

Ensure you deliver on your promises to maintain your credibility and reputation.

A reputation for reliability is one of the strongest negotiation assets you can build.

Final thoughts

Negotiation is more art than science. Success with negotiation requires preparation, emotional intelligence and flexibility.

Understanding human personality traits and recognising potential tactics that are sometimes used during negotiations can help you build negotiation outcomes that favour both parties.

Achieving the goal where both sides leave the negotiating table having gained something worthwhile is the ideal position to be in.

This will always lead to long-lasting, sustainable business relationships.

Good luck!

Movies and TV Shows That Predicted The Future

Movies and TV shows, in particular science fiction, are entertaining but can also give entrepreneurs a glimpse into the world that lies ahead.

In this article, we take a look at movies and TV shows that accurately predicted the future.

Here goes…

Star Trek Series – 1966 (Gene Roddenberry)

Starring William Shatner as James T. Kirk, commanding officer of the USS Enterprise and Leonard Nimoy as Spock, first officer and science officer.

The 1966 series predicted many devices we take for granted today, including the handheld Communicator device (mobile phone), the tablet and the talking AI computer.

The movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) also amazingly predicted transparent aluminium, which was created in Oxford, UK, using high-powered X-rays in 2009.

Star Trek – Transparent Aluminium Prediction

2001 A Space Odyssey – 1968 (Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke )

Starring Keir Dullea as Dr Dave Bowman and Gary Lockwood as Dr Frank Poole. Kubrick’s 2001 is amazingly futuristic for 1968 and shows tablets, flat screens and a talking AI.

Her – 2013 (Spike Jonze)

HER | JOAQUIN PHOENIX as Theodore in the romantic drama "HER… | Flickr — Personal AI Assistants

Starring Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore Twombly and Scarlett Johansson as Samantha, a voice-operated AI.

This scarily accurate movie predicts the rise of personal AI assistants. The film predicted that we would be emotionally connected to AI.

Back to the Future Part II – 1989 (Bob Gale)

Back To The Future – Flat Widescreen TVs

The film stars Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Doctor Emmett Brown.

Robert Zemeckis is the Director, with Steven Spielberg appearing as Executive Producer.

Back to the Future Part II is pretty accurate in places. Widescreen TVs, video calling and drones are part of the norm.

Enemy of the State – 1998 (David Marconi)

Starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman, Enemy of the State ominously predicts the rise of surveillance culture in society.

Spy satellites, bugging devices and reputation destruction via database manipulation are all present in this movie.

Minority Report – 2002 (Philip K. Dick)

Minority Report – Thought Police and Predictive Policing

Starring Tom Cruise as Chief John Anderton and Max von Sydow as Director Lamar Burgess.

Steven Spielberg appears again, this time as the Director. The movie accurately predicts the rise of thought policing and predictive policing policies used today.

Jurassic Park – 1993 – (Michael Crichton)

Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough. Jurassic Park is another Steven Spielberg movie that is devastatingly predictive.

The sequencing and editing of DNA is now a scientific reality. In 2025, a genetics company used a method called CRISPR to bring back a once extinct species, the dire wolf.

Bring Back Extinct Animals – The Promise And Perils Of Gene Editing

Movies that Warn of the Dangers of Gene Editing – What Can Entrepreneurs Learn?

Dick Tracy – 1990 – (Based on Chester Gould’s Comic Book, 1931)

Starring Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy, the wrist radio-wearing detective.

The phone on the wrist or Apple Watch and its counterparts are now ubiquitous.

The Truman Show – 1998 (Andrew Niccol)

The Truman Show – The Rise of Reality TV

Starring Jim Carrey as Truman, The Truman Show eerily predicts the rise of reality-based TV.

Demolition Man – 1996 – (Peter M. Lenkov, Robert Reneau)

Starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock.

Demolition Man accurately predicts social distancing and self-driving cars.

I, Robot – 2004 – (Based on Issac Asimov’s Novel 1950s)

Starring Will Smith again, the movie is based on Issac Asimov’s novel which predicts a world full of humanoid robots. The future is now in the making with Figure 03 robots and the Tesla Bot.

Looper – 2012 – (Rian Johnson).

Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt,) Stacks Silver

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt. This time-travel science fiction movie follows a hitman who has to kill his older self to close the loop on his executions.

The reward is payment in the currency of the time, gold and silver.

At the time of writing (Oct 2025), gold and silver are at all-time highs, the biggest boom since the 1970s and early 2000s.

Read these articles on why entrepreneurs should consider gold and silver:

Gold Revaluation – What It Could Mean For Entrepreneurs

Don’t Look Up – 2021 – (Adam McKay)

Don’t Look Up – Political Downplay – Social Apathy and a Comet

With a star-studded cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence,
Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Tyler Perry and Ariana Grande.

Don’t look up poignantly predicts political and media gaslighting, social media apathy and… a comet.

Final thoughts

Movies and TV shows, in particular science fiction, are great for entertainment.

However, savvy entrepreneurs understand that the content shines a light on the often hidden social tensions of the time.

The writers create worlds that allow viewers to gain valuable insight into possible future world dilemmas, outcomes and solutions from the safety of their sofas.

Are you brave enough to view what the future holds?

Avi Loeb and 3I/ATLAS – What Can Entrepreneurs Learn?

Avi Loeb is a Harvard Head of Astrophysics, PhD and theoretical physicist who is very much criticised by the traditional scientific community.

His bold theories about interstellar “visitors” have made many scientists eye roll, yet many of the public are engaged on a galactic scale with his huge, growing public profile and bold claims.

In this article, we look at what entrepreneurs can learn from the scientific maverick Avi Loeb and the ongoing 3I/ ATLAS mystery.

Here goes…

Follow The Data

For those who are not aware what 3I/ATLAS is, it is a large interstellar object that entered our solar system on 1st July 2025.

The object is claimed to be a comet by traditional astrophysicists; however, there are many strange characteristics that appear to make this object anomalous, according to Loeb.

Comment on “Discovery and Preliminary Characterisation of a Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS” [arXiv:2507.02757]

https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.05881

Firstly, the data show that the comet does not have the usual tail of outgassing that comets have.

It has a high composition of the metal nickel, without iron, which is unusual.

It also appears to be extremely large at over 33 billion tons.

The main thrust of Avi Loeb’s arguments seems to be that scientists should simply follow the data.

Loeb first got broad public attention after the discovery of Oumuaamua, the first interstellar visitor to our solar system, in October 2017.

Traditional astronomers argued for natural explanations, along the lines of a comet or unusual asteroid.

However, Loeb looked at the data and postulated that the object had an anomalous shape, weird acceleration characteristics and a lack of outgassing found in traditional comets.

What can entrepreneurs learn? Simply follow the data. Looking at the marketplace objectively can give insights into new areas of business or inspiration to enter new areas once deemed unpopular or unprofitable.

Innovation often comes from uncharted waters.

Marketing Guru

Avi Loeb Fox Interview – Proposes 3I/Atlas Alien Ship Possibility

Avi Loeb is not just a genius when it comes to astrophysics; he also appears to be a marketing genius too.

Unlike most of his peers, he is not afraid to stick his neck out, appearing on multiple news channels and appearing on a shedload of podcasts, including Joe Rogan, talking about his theories.

When it comes to 3I/ATLAS, many of his peers seem to be almost silent on the matter by comparison.

NASA is strangely quiet on the topic and, to date (Oct 2025), has not yet released high-quality images of 3I/ATLAS captured by their satellites around Mars.

The reason given is that the ongoing U.S government shutdown on (1st Oct 2025) has caused NASA to furlough 15,000 employees, leading to the delayed processing of images.

Avi Loeb – Joe Rogan Interview

What can entrepreneurs learn? Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and communicate. Talking to the public can help raise your profile and allow you to get your message across.

Do not underestimate the power of marketing, whether that be traditional media, podcasts, blogs or news articles, to shed a light on your venture and to get ahead of the competition.

Write and Publish

Avi Loeb is a prolific writer. Whether that be scientific papers on many astronomical subjects or published books on his theories.

His books, “Extraterrestrial” and “Interstellar”, lay out his controversial theories that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star.

Avi Loeb book Extraerrestrial

Avi Loeb Book – Interstellar

What can entrepreneurs learn? Simply put, great minds publish. Whether that be writing a book, a blog, scientific papers or industry journals.

It’s practically essential that entrepreneurs get their ideas out there, unfiltered and unedited.

As an entrepreneur, the easiest way to get your deepest insights out there is to publish them. The added bonus is that it also helps to raise your profile.

Read this article on how to create a personal brand:

Personal Branding for Entrepreneurs – Why It’s Essential

Be Different

Avi Loeb is not afraid to be different. Unlike many of his peers, he is not afraid to speculate that there is a possibility that 3I/ATLAS may be “alien technology”.

He is not saying it’s definitely alien tech; he is simply saying that we should include that hypothesis as part of the discussion due to the unusual data.

Although his theories sound incredible, almost unbelievable, there’s room in the data to suggest there is a chance he may be correct.

Avi Loeb suggests that scientists should grade interstellar objects based on the likelihood that they could be artificial in origin or from an advanced extraterrestrial civilisation.

As such, he proposes the Loeb Scale, a scale between one and ten that indicates the probability that an interstellar object is of artificial origin. One on the scale being highly likely to be naturally occurring and ten being extremely likely to be of technological origin.

Incidentally, Loeb puts 3I/ATLAS as a four on the scale, a 40% chance of being extraterrestrial!

Avi Loeb (Loeb Scale) – 40% Chance 3I/ATLAS Alien in Origin

“Quantitative Mapping of the Loeb Scale”
— (Loeb, others)
arXiv: 2509.06253 arXiv+1
(Further development / quantification of the Loeb Scale, with 3I/ATLAS as a test case.)

What can entrepreneurs learn? Don’t be afraid to take risks and do things differently. The road to success is not always a straight line.

By doing things differently, you not only stand out from the crowd but also create a unique niche for yourself and your venture in the marketplace.

Criticism

Avi Loeb – Intense Criticism of his Theories

It would be disingenuous to write an article about the virtues of speculative and forward thinking without talking about the downsides.

Unfortunately, Avi Loeb has faced intense criticism for simply having the guts to voice his opinions. After all, he is a Harvard head of astrophysics and a PhD. He has immense knowledge on the subject matter, so his insight should carry significant weight.

Regardless, many traditional scientists and sceptics have resorted to attacks rather than a measured rebuttal of the arguments Loeb proposes.

These attacks have included vilification of his credibility, rumours of media manipulation and accusations of fraud.

Of course, all of these claims are totally without merit. Loeb himself is head of a project named the Galileo Project that aims to investigate UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon) within Earth’s atmosphere.

The project is named after Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de’ Galilei an Italian astronomer who proposed that the Earth orbited around the Sun in the early 17th century, contrary to the beliefs of the time.

Unfortunately, the Church put Galileo on trial for heresy, placed him under house arrest and banned his works. So the name of the project is fully appropriate.

What can entrepreneurs learn? Forward thinking and innovation come with a downside. Be prepared for intense criticism if you follow this path.

Unfortunately, human nature has the capacity to turn ugly when threatened with new ideas.

Critics will laugh, question your character, ostracise and accuse you of all manner of things, but if you have followed the evidence and data and acted with professionalism, eventually you just might be proved right.

Final Thoughts

The data has already proven Avi Loeb correct, that 3I/ATLAS is indeed anomalous and is unlike any other interstellar object that has entered the solar system. The question still remains, however, whether it is of alien technological origin?

The answer to that question could reveal itself once 3I/ATLAS approaches the sun and hides behind it on Oct 24th. If it suddenly changes direction or accelerates unconventionally, we may have our answer.

Until then, forward-thinking entrepreneurs should prepare themselves for potential criticism for their radical thinking.

Such entrepreneurs can take a leaf out of Professor Loeb’s book and propel their ventures forward by following key market data in their industry, be effective marketers by publishing their insights and be bold enough to go where no entrepreneur has gone before.

Good luck!

Bitcoin, Gold and Silver – Final Wake Up Call

Entrepreneurs often ask us, “What is the best way to make and protect money?”. Here at Pop Up World, we write numerous articles on how to do just that.

Unfortunately, sometimes the message gets lost in the noise, and we understand that the busy lives we lead can divert our eyes from the ball.

So, in this article, we’re going to keep it simple and explain the best things we can currently do to make and protect wealth via Bitcoin, Gold and Silver.

Here goes…

First, take a close look at this infographic:

Bitcoin

On 31st October 2024, the closing price of Bitcoin was around $70,000.
Today (October 2025), Bitcoin has surged to over $120,000

Whether you understand Bitcoin or not, ignoring Bitcoin could cause serious damage to your future wealth.

The data is clear.

If you want to find out more about Bitcoin, read these articles:

Gold

On 31st October 2024, gold reached over $2790 per troy ounce. An all-time high for the month.

Today (October 2025), gold sits at over $3892 an ounce.

Whether you believe that gold is relevant or not, the data is clear.

If you want to find out more about gold, read the articles below:

Silver

In October 2024, the silver price was approximately $31 per troy ounce.

Today, (October 2025), silver sits at a whopping $48 per troy ounce.

Whether you believe silver is relevant or not, the data is clear.

Read this article to find out more about silver:

Investing in Silver – Consideration for Entrepreneurs

How Can Entrepreneurs Capitalise?

Entrepreneurs can capitalise by considering the following:

Set up a cryptocurrency account on a crypto exchange like Coinbase and purchase Bitcoin.
Buy physical gold and silver from reliable precious metal mints in your jurisdiction.
Buy Bitcoin, gold and silver-backed digital assets, ETFs, shares in mining companies and treasury companies.
If you know about trading, trade the potential price action via your trading account.

Read this article to learn how to set up a crypto wallet:

Best way to Create a Crypto Cardano Wallet and Fund it with ADA – Easy Steps

Past price increases do not guarantee any increase in the future. Any form of investment is risky. Crypto is extremely volatile, and as such, can drop in value considerably without notice.

You should always seek legal and financial advice to understand if the use or investment in crypto is allowed in your jurisdiction.

Final thoughts

The data is clear: Bitcoin, gold and silver have risen astronomically between October 2024 and October 2025.

Entrepreneurs could secure their financial future by placing some of their capital into these assets.

Entrepreneurs should be cautious not to go ‘all in’ and put everything they own into this trend since there is some risk that past performance will not translate into future gains.

Brave and savvy entrepreneurs could secure their financial future if they were to place a small percentage of their capital into this latest trend.

Good luck!

Business Meeting Etiquette

When meeting someone in business or in a personal capacity, first impressions are often made in seconds.

In this digital age, entrepreneurs need to be mindful that meeting someone in person has its own set of rules that can determine the trajectory of the relationship from the outset.

In this article, we take a look at the unsaid etiquette of meeting and greeting in business.

Here goes…

The Importance of a Professional Greeting

Meeting Etiquette – Professional Greeting

Entrepreneurs should ensure to greet appropriately. The lack of a professional greeting could signal sloppiness, dismissiveness or even arrogance.

A professional greeting signals to the other person that you value their time and presence.

An example of a professional greeting could be, “Good morning, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is [Your Name].”

When introducing yourself for the first time ensure you also state your role and company name.

If there are other team members in the meeting introduce those with senior or higher-ranking positions first.

The Handshake and Alternatives

The handshake is often seen as the best option to communicate professionalism in business situations.

Ensure the handshake is not overbearing or too overpowering, which could signal overdominance.

Since COVID, many have adopted alternatives such as the nod or clasping of hands together rather than physical touch.

Some cultures may avoid physical touch, so ensure you understand the norms in international settings to avoid awkward moments.

In most Western settings, the physical act of a handshake will help build a professional bond between all parties.

International Greetings:

Region / Country	Physical Greeting	Notes
USA, UK, Canada	A firm handshake	Eye contact and smile are key
Japan, Korea	Bow	Depth shows respect
UAE, Saudi Arabia	Hand over heart (or gentle handshake)	Gender norms apply
France, Spain, Brazil	A kiss on cheek	Often after relationship established
India, Nepal	Namaste	Non-contact, respectful
New Zealand (Māori)	Hongi	Traditional, ceremonial
Ghana, Nigeria	A light handshake with variations	Right hand only

Addressing People Properly

Meeting Etiquette – Address People Properly

It’s important to recognise names and titles when greeting someone for the first time.

Ensure you use their formal title and last name unless invited to do otherwise.

For example, “Good morning, Dr Tanaka”.

Most importantly, ensure you also have in mind the organisation the other person works for and ensure you pronounce all names, both personal and company names, properly.

Using this approach shows respect and avoids coming off as rude, overfamiliar or worse, unprepared.

Body Language

Body language or non-verbal communication is an important part of meeting and greeting.

Ensure you maintain appropriate eye contact with all attendees of the meeting.

A warm professional smile can make a huge difference and make attendees feel welcome and respected.

Your posture is also vitally important; fidgeting, arm crossing or playing with your phone can send negative signals to the meeting attendees.

Arrive on Time

Arriving on time is one of the easiest things to do to signal respect and reliability for other people’s time.

Being on time means being a few minutes early, not precisely on commencement of the meeting.

If you are the host of the meeting, ensure you arrive early enough to set up and prepare prior to your guests’ arrival.

Ensure you arrive early enough to be mentally prepared for the meeting. Ensure you know all the names of people you are about to meet and have a game plan in place accordingly.

Follow Up

Remember that good etiquette extends beyond the first meeting. A brief follow-up email thanking the person for their time can reinforce the positive impression you have made so far.

Final Thoughts

Meeting and greeting in person is a professional skill that all entrepreneurs should learn, especially in this digital age.

Mastering this art ensures your first impression is not only positive but long-lasting, laying the groundwork for respectful professional relationships.

Good luck!

Limiting Beliefs That Hold Back Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurship is often glamorised, and the realities faced by founders are far from that perception.

As a result, many entrepreneurs find themselves stuck, not because of a lack of ideas or opportunities, but because they may have limiting beliefs that prevent them from diving deep into the overwhelming amount of possibilities that starting your own business brings.

In this article, we take a look at some of the limiting beliefs that could be holding back entrepreneurs like you from your dreams.

Here goes…

1. “I Don’t Have The Money”

This is a big one. While it’s important to have resources to launch your venture, it’s often possible to launch small and grow slowly over time, commonly called bootstrapping.

In the age of digital products and services, it’s certainly feasible that entrepreneurs can launch and test ideas in the marketplace and utilise funds raised from genuine customers to reinvest in the business.

Being resourceful is the key element in entrepreneurship. It’s feasible to grow with just clever marketing, leveraging your skills and talking directly with your target audience with little or no money.

It’s very hard to hear, but money will often not solve all your business problems. If you have a quality tangible product and some traction, the money will eventually come if the demand is there.

Read this article to find out more about bootstrapping:

Bootstrapping vs. Seeking Investors: Which Path is Right for You?

If you take the bootstrapping route, investors will likely be impressed that you have built a tangible business with minimal resources, and investment capital should be much easier to come by.

Read this article on finding investors for your start-up:

How To Find Investors Using The Investor Connector App?

Business Zero to Superhero – Start-up guide by Graham Jules

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Business-Zero-Superhero-Start-Grow/dp/1490371613 Business Zero to Superhero – Start-up guide by Graham Jules

2. “I’m Not Ready Yet”

One of the most limiting beliefs is the feeling of “not being ready yet”, or that everything has to be “perfect” before you start.

It’s so easy to think that having just a bit more experience or another qualification will make a big difference. But it’s important to realise that the quest for perfect circumstances is often a mask for the fear of criticism or failure.

No venture or product ever launched was perfect from the start. Yes, you should aim to launch a quality venture, but aim to iterate over time based on customer feedback, so you are meeting the needs of your customers.

Ensure you take small, consistent steps towards your goal, rather than giant leaps into the unknown. Don’t be so afraid to move that you let opportunities slip away.

3. “Fear Of Failure”

The fear of failing is a deep-seated emotion ingrained in most of us. Unfortunately for entrepreneurs, failure is not only possible, it is inevitable.

Yes, it sounds terrifying, but the only way to learn is by failing. In other words, you try a few things out, some, if not most, will fail and eventually something just clicks and works.

This doesn’t mean you should just throw caution to the wind and utilise a “scattergun approach”. Think strategically about how you approach growing your venture and you will certainly help to reduce the risk of failure.

Most importantly, try to avoid the self-imposed pressure of having to be right and nailing everything the first time.

Be open to real-time feedback and adjust your plans accordingly if an element of your business “fails”.

Aim to see every failure as an opportunity for learning rather than an insurmountable setback.

Read this article on Mental Toughness for entrepreneurs:

The Role of Mental Toughness in Entrepreneurial Success

4. “I’m Not Good Enough”

Having self-doubt is very common, especially in the early days. It’s important to remember that everyone starts as a beginner.

Try not to shy away from learning new things and aim not to compare yourself too much to others who are more established.

Rather than being threatened by those who are more successful than you, aim to lean into the fear by learning from them.

Practical ways you can do this are by buying books, going to talks or networking with successful people in your field.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and be humble along the way.

5. “Jealousy and Obsession With Competition”

Limiting beliefs – Jealousy of the Competition

Yes, entrepreneurship is competitive, but you should not spend all your time and energy obsessing over being jealous of your competition.

You should, of course, be aware of who your competitors are, but you should not make it your sole mission to “take down” your competition.

Healthy competition fosters innovation and, as a result, leads to improved products and services for customers, which in turn leads to more business for everyone.

Aim to create your own niche or loyal audience, so your competitors have minimal impact or traction with your customer base.

This strategy is particularly helpful if there are many large players in your field that overlook your niche segments of the marketplace..

6. “I Need to Do Everything Myself”

Limiting Beliefs – Need to Do Everything

Entrepreneurs need to be resourceful, especially in the early days. As such, founders often wear multiple hats in the business, from sales, marketing, to finance and of course it can be exhausting.

Try to learn early on where your main skills set lies and aim to outsource the rest to freelancers or consultants.

Once your business grows, you can take on staff to carry out tasks that soak up your time.

Remember that you cannot be an expert in everything, and spreading yourself too thin can lead to burnout and inefficiency.

Success isn’t about doing everything; it’s about ensuring everything gets done effectively.

7. “If I Succeed, I’ll Lose Balance in My Life”

Some entrepreneurs hold themselves back because they believe success will cost them their health, relationships and even their personal freedom.

By viewing entrepreneurial success as a “sacrifice” that has to be carried out without the backup of personal relationships and time away from work, entrepreneurs are setting themselves up for self-sabotage.

Aim to set boundaries, so you have adequate time to feed other elements of your life, including health, mental well-being and relationships.

Your business should eventually enhance your personal life, not totally detract from it.

Read this article on The Hidden Health Dangers For Entrepreneurs:

The Hidden Health Dangers for Entrepreneurs

Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs act like invisible barriers. They are often hard to spot because they are ingrained in us, often from early childhood.

Entrepreneurs should aim to question themselves and ask whether their belief is fear- based or based on fact and reality.

Remember, those who fear failure never take risks and those who doubt their worth consistently undersell themselves.

Especially pay attention to persistent negative thoughts about your business and the success of others.

Aim to redirect these negative thoughts into actions that can propel yourself forward rather than holding yourself back.

Final Thoughts

The journey of an entrepreneur is not only defined by bank balances, market conditions or perfect timing.

Often, having the correct mindset is a defining condition that separates those who achieve their goals from those who do not.

Limiting beliefs, while often invisible, are often more destructive than external challenges. They are sometimes harder to resolve, as it means the individual must change and grow, rather than an external factor that can easily be adjusted.

Entrepreneurs can unlock their true potential by reframing their limiting beliefs and taking positive action towards their goals.

Remember, real success belongs to those who refuse to let their beliefs limit their possibilities.

Good luck!

Anna Paulina Luna & Eric Burlison – UAP Hearing 2025 – What Can Entrepreneurs Learn?

On the 9th September 2025, Anna Paulina Luna and Eric Burlison carried out a third UAP hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, otherwise known as UFOs.

To the uninitiated, this subject is no longer seen as pure fantasy, science fiction or conspiracy theory, and members of Congress have been looking to force the U.S government to be transparent about the realities of the subject.

In this article, we look at some of the findings in the latest hearing and the implications for entrepreneurs.

Here goes…

Who Testified?

Anna Paulina Luna – UAP Hearing September 2025

Dylan Borland

The third UAP hearing brought forward several interesting UAP witnesses. The most important of which was Dylan Borland, a former Geospatial Intelligence Specialist and BAE Systems Analyst who claimed under oath that he had “Direct knowledge of certain legacy UAP programs”.

He went on to give an account of a sighting he had of a 100-foot equilateral triangle at the Langley Air Force Base in 2012. The sighted craft moved silently, and the appearance seemed fluid and dynamic in nature, nothing like anything he had seen before.

He also claimed retaliation and that his career had suffered due to his reporting of the incident.

Dylan Borland – UAP Hearing September 2025

Jeffrey Nuccetelli

Witness Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former military police officer and retired Air Force veteran, described a sighting near Vandenberg.

The sightings were witnessed by multiple personnel. The sightings began on October 14th 2003. He reported a glowing football-sized “red square” above Vandeberg over two missile defence sites.

Later that night, he reports witnesses saw a “massive” triangular craft larger than a football field.

He also reported another “massive” triangular craft hovering silently In 2005, and Nuccetelli himself witnessed a thirty-foot-diameter “sphere of light” above his house during this period.

Jeffrey Nuccetelli – UAP Hearing September 2025

Senior Chief Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins

Senior Chief Petty Officer, Alexandro Wiggins, reported under oath that he witnessed in 2023 aboard the USS Jackson a luminous tic-tac shaped object emerge from the ocean and merge with three other objects in the air and move off rapidly at speed with no sonic boom and near instantaneous acceleration.

The sightings were recorded and witnessed via multiple sensors.

Chief Wiggins Testimony – UAP Hearing September 2025

George Knapp

George Knapp is a seasoned news broadcaster (KLAS-TV Las Vegas) and UFO journalist who has been reporting on the topic for decades.

Most interestingly, Knapp, under oath, stated that a Las Vegas entrepreneur, Bob Bigelow, attempted to make a deal with defence contractor, Lockheed Martin, to “Receive a quantity of recovered UAP material”, not made on earth.

Astonishingly, Knapp also named names, not only Robert Bigelow but Jim Lacatski, an aerospace engineer who claims in his book, “Inside the US Government Covert UFO Program: Initial Revelations”, that the US government has obtained access to the interior of a UAP.

George Knapp – UAP Hearing September 2025

Hellfire Missile Video Off Yemen

Eric Burlison presented compelling video evidence of a military drone firing a Hellfire missile at a UAP, ” a bright shiny orb”.

The missile appeared to hit the UAP, but astonishingly, the UAP continued its path unperturbed.

Unfortunately, Burlison himself admitted that the evidence was given to him anonymously and therefore, without provenance, it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to verify if what is shown in the video is real.

Unfortunately, video evidence of this kind often brings little to the table and can be more of a distraction to other verifiable evidence given at hearings of this kind.

Sceptics have already claimed the UAP shown in the video is a balloon; therefore, the jury is still out as to the validity of the video evidence presented.

Eric Burlison – Hellfire Missile UAP Video

What Can Entrepreneurs Learn?

It is becoming increasingly clear that there is something going on with UAPs, whether homegrown or not. Evidence is mounting that there is something to the claims of many of the witnesses.

If proven to be true, there are numerous opportunities for entrepreneurs:

Entertainment: Interest in the topic is growing exponentially, and as a result, there are many opportunities for entrepreneurs in media and entertainment, whether the claims are true or not.

New Technological Breakthroughs: The announcement of “exotic” technologies could open the doors to out-of-the-box thinking for entrepreneurs to discover new technologies in the fields of energy, propulsion and biotechnology.

Of course. there are risks, and entrepreneurs should be wary of the field in case the claims made are shown to be false. However, those in the media and entertainment fields are unlikely to be affected whether the claims are held to be true or not.

Final Thoughts

The third UAP hearing was a milestone in providing additional under oath testimony on the topic.

The witnesses, in particular Dylan Borland, who brought forward compelling knowledge of “legacy UFO programs” and George Knapp, who named, names and called out Robert Bigelow and Jim Lacatski as possible future witnesses.

As entrepreneurs, the evidence presented was not conclusive, but the evidence given does show that there is a “there there” and the matter should be investigated thoroughly.

As a result, interest in the topic is likely to grow further, and opportunities in media, entertainment and technologies inspired by the testimonies themselves could inspire entrepreneurs to think outside of the box.

Entrepreneurs who are brave enough to incorporate the topic into their business plans could see significant returns if the claims are held to be true.

How brave are you?

Good luck!
