What is work that only I can do?

Notes on the episode of Nobuyuki Sakuma's All Night Nippon 0 that I listen to every week, featuring Naomi Watanabe as a guest.
It's from last week so it's not exactly current, but it struck a chord with me, so I want to write it down.

Speaking of Special Weeks, here is something else ↓

Naomi Watanabe is a comedian who decided to study abroad while enjoying a stable career in entertainment.
She has found success with comedy shows overseas, is active as a TV personality, and is currently based abroad for her entertainment work.

On the radio, there was a lot of talk about Watanabe's career path as a comedian.

“Someone who can take solid action when they feel like they want to do something.”
“When you take action, you don't know if you'll succeed or fail, but you have the power to steer things toward success while you're in the process of acting.”

In this radio episode, Sakuma analyzed Watanabe in that way.

It's not just about taking action, but continuing to put in the effort afterward.

There is one other episode that left an impression on me.
It was something said to Watanabe by the comedian Daigo from Chidori.

“The regular work you're doing in Japan right now is something we could do, but the work overseas is something only you can do.”
“I think it's a waste, though.”

She said it felt like a lightbulb moment... but also like being struck by lightning.

Work that only I can do—what is that?
I think anyone can be trained to replace someone else in terms of tasks.

The other day, someone I used to work with told me, “Back then, I knew it would be okay today because hongaw (me) was coming in.”
I was happy to be praised for creating an environment where I could be a 'safe haven' and an 'ally' for everyone.

I continue to work with that same mindset at my current workplace.

I heard a great story that made me think about things like that.

Thank you, Sakuma🥰
Thank you, Naomi Watanabe🫶
Thank you, Daigo🥲
