Human Behavior Expert: "Every Single Person Is In A Trance" | Ep 6
Key Takeaways
- Language serves as the operating system for the human brain, yet most people never question the negative programming built into the English language.
- Michael Bernoff explains how embedded suggestions and unconscious priming dictate human behavior far more effectively than traditional motivation.
- The word "think" often paralyzes decision-making, whereas shifting your internal vocabulary can immediately alter your state and reality.
- Your mind runs on suggestions rather than direct statements, meaning that the last thoughts you process before bed heavily influence your unconscious mind for hours.
- Elite performers, including UFC fighters and top athletes, rely on advanced communication patterns and mental reprogramming to excel under extreme pressure.
Language is the operating system your brain runs on, and most people have never once questioned who wrote the code. Michael Bernoff has spent 23 years reprogramming human behavior at the highest level. He is the man UFC fighters call before they step into the Octagon, the coach behind Jake Paul and thousands of elite performers, and the founder of the Human Communications Institute. When he speaks, things change, and in this episode of Forged, Brady Edwards sits across from him and lets him rewire one of his memories live on camera.
We get into why the English language is structurally biased toward negativity, how the word think actually paralyzes decision making, why embedded suggestions change behavior faster than motivation ever will, and how the last thing you think about before bed runs your unconscious mind for hours. If you have ever felt like you are capable of more but something invisible keeps pulling you back, this conversation is going to feel uncomfortably familiar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Michael Bernoff?
Michael Bernoff is a human behavior expert, founder of the Human Communications Institute, and a performance coach who has worked with UFC fighters, elite athletes, and top performers for over two decades.
How does language affect human behavior according to Michael Bernoff?
He argues that language acts as the brain's operating system, and the English language is structurally biased toward negativity, which traps people in limiting loops.
What are embedded suggestions?
Embedded suggestions are hidden linguistic patterns and commands woven into everyday conversation that influence unconscious behavior and decision-making faster than conscious motivation.
Why is "thinking" considered an ineffective mental function by Bernoff?
He explains that the word "think" often leads to hesitation and analysis paralysis, whereas taking definitive action and reprogramming your internal framing yields much better results.

Michael Bernard. For those people who don't know, you have changed the lives of people like Jake Paul or UFC fighters 15 minutes before they walk out into the Octagon. They call you. So tell the audience why it is you're qualified to talk about rewiring the human mind. I said, after working with, I'd say 10,000, 15,000 people since 2003 and covering with them anything from how to deal with tough situations, to deal with trauma, to deal with loss, to help a Jake.
00:00:25:00 - 00:00:39:12
Unknown
I was never the guy to help him as he particularly walked in the ring. But prior to boxing, which was even a bigger stage, to take that leap and take that step and literally step up the game, I was there through many of those conversations mentally and emotionally to help him with that, and I would say trial and error.
00:00:39:13 - 00:01:00:17
Unknown
I don't know many people that have spent this much time working with human beings that have big goals, big dreams, big things they want. And for some reason their mind has slowed them down. And that's been my obsession because I want to run this study by you, right? There was a study that's pretty famous out of London, which is neuroscientists scan the brain of London taxi drivers, guys who memorize 25,000 streets to get licensed.
00:01:00:17 - 00:01:22:08
Unknown
And they found that their hippocampus, as the memory center, was physically larger than average. And it grew with years on the job. So adult brains physically restructure based on what we repeatedly do. So to someone watching this right now, there's convinced they're just built this way or they're too far gone. Anxious, broke, always starting over. Based on the 20 years of you doing this at the highest level.
00:01:22:09 - 00:01:37:23
Unknown
Are they right there? Right. If they're right. And what I mean by that is if they're convinced they're right and they speak that they're right and they convince themselves they're right and they live that way the rest of their life, they're right. The second they don't want to be right. And this is one of the biggest things that most people deal with is their desire to be right.
00:01:37:23 - 00:01:51:19
Unknown
And backing up with information and willing to stop for a second and go, wait a second, would there be a way to recondition my brain to create new neural pathways to build things? That that's where the transformation comes in. So is it an odd question in the way that are they right? Well, of course, of course they're right.
00:01:51:19 - 00:02:09:02
Unknown
And they can spend the whole rest of their life become even more right about what they need to be right about. But when they finally realize one day there may be some things that they don't know, or actually people living differently, it's no different than if you take a brain scan of people that speak different languages. Literally their entire neural pathway will be different.
00:02:09:02 - 00:02:29:14
Unknown
You take someone that studies German or French versus English. I don't know if you knew this, that English has about 300,000 words in the English language, and of those, do you know how many of those words are actually emotions out of 300,000? Oh, a couple thousand, few thousand. It's about 30,000. Of those, it's about 3000 that are positive emotions.
00:02:29:14 - 00:02:52:19
Unknown
So the reason we have the highest level of depression, anxiety nervosa, all these things. And it's like fancy awareness is, is that our language has very little positivity in it. And most Americans and most people that speak English are not as positive. Where if you take a language like German and their entire brain is different, there is no maybe no sort of no kind of anybody listening to this right now, really.
00:02:52:19 - 00:03:07:23
Unknown
There is no sort of there is no kind of know maybe. And they're known for position. Well, of course they're known for precision because there is no maybe sort of kind of in their language, period. It doesn't exist. This is what people like. If you're an American, you just kind of only know English. And we have like a lot of pharmaceuticals, these people.
00:03:08:00 - 00:03:30:10
Unknown
Yeah, right. Well, and so we have a Latin American population. So they've learned Spanish and then they've learned English. So they have like whatever people think. It's like, that's a remarkable skill to know two languages. As a mormon missionary, I learned American Sign Language. And I got like a really good at it and my brain like, expanded. I could feel it all the time because I was looking at English for the first time through a different lens, and I was like, hang on.
00:03:30:11 - 00:03:48:11
Unknown
I realize my words are like, entirely confined by the rule set of English. And then you look at like Swahili. Swahili has no verbs, I don't either. I don't know, but it has no verbs. I've told people this. I was like, did you like, you can't say I kicked a ball. There's no verbs. Eyeball kick. I don't know, I don't, I don't know how it works.
00:03:48:11 - 00:04:05:17
Unknown
But like for them, like the concept of being like, yeah, I kicked the ball or oh, I ran to the store like it doesn't work. And I can't really articulate why or how the syntax works that way. Then the same thing with Russian. You can kind of say any sentence in words. It's the most Slavic languages. You can kind of put them in any order you want, so long as you do it the right way.
00:04:05:17 - 00:04:24:14
Unknown
And when people learn another language, it kind of realizes it makes you. When people learn another language, it kind of makes you realize like, oh, I am entirely bound by the language that I know the structure of the language entirely, and your emotions are bound by it. So let's take the word love for an example. I know people that would not want more love.
00:04:24:15 - 00:04:40:01
Unknown
Love for themselves, love for others, love for their kids, love for their dog, love for their church, love for whatever. Right? So if you take the word love in English, in order to have more love, how would you grammatically say that? Like you said, I want more love. I want more love. You'd have say, I want more love.
00:04:40:01 - 00:05:05:16
Unknown
Will you love me more? Yeah. Check this out. To have less love unloved. This loved love less. So you can actually have 50 or 60 different ways to remove love. By adding a couple letters, you need to have full sentence structure to take more then. So in order to have more than something and have extra of a positive emotion, you need to build an entire sentence structure where if you want to be like hey, like hated it more, hated like it's very, very easy to do.
00:05:05:16 - 00:05:25:09
Unknown
So unloved. Just love. Love less where you can't throw a couple letters on it, make it more. I mean, how would you make love more? Increase love? That's a whole nother word. Takes a little effort on love. This love, love. Last couple letters allow you to instantaneously make it less than or not have, but to have more you need to have full sentence structure.
00:05:25:09 - 00:05:46:03
Unknown
So abundance and seeing things bigger. It's not a conspiracy, it's literally based on language. Right. So I went through linguistic programing because I know you're trained in as well. So like a foundational thing for a lot like Oprah. When did you train that? Five years ago with William Lamb William Lamb shout out William William. And he had this feeling here.
00:05:46:05 - 00:06:03:19
Unknown
He's not far. He had this thing that blew my mind. And to this day, my wife and I put a plaque together and we put it on our counter. And the phrase is don't think about a pink elephant. And it blew my mind. And so he leads with this and he goes, look, if I say, don't think about a pink elephant, what is exactly going to happen in your mind?
00:06:03:21 - 00:06:20:19
Unknown
A pink elephant appears and he's like, why is that? It's like, well, because your brain cannot do really anything with the word not or don't or no. And I was like, what do you mean? Like, it's a word I use all the time. And he goes, no, no, I know, but hear me out to presuppose something into existence and then trying to cancel it out.
00:06:20:20 - 00:06:38:16
Unknown
It's not how your brain works. So you think so? Don't think about a pink elephant. The elephant appears so when you say, I don't want to lose my job, I don't want to get sick. I don't want to be a failure for the rest of my life. The word don't or not like doesn't do anything. And so it's like you have to then be very deliberate, which is where the training came in.
00:06:38:16 - 00:06:53:13
Unknown
Change my life is you have to find the inverted version of that, which is like, I want to be healthy all the time. I want to succeed and thrive at my business. I want everything to go my way, which almost feels like weird. But then you realize I wasn't doing that. How many times in my language am I?
00:06:53:14 - 00:07:09:09
Unknown
Every day. Kind of like raining on my own parade, just because it's more comfortable to say, oh, I don't want that, you know? Yeah, it's it's a natural thing. I mean, you would think we're very clear. We're very clear on our language. And most people are clever. They're not clear. And there's a big difference between clever and want to sound good.
00:07:09:09 - 00:07:21:14
Unknown
Clever is like, I'm going to say it in a certain way. You have to be clear. Like there's a website that says stop my divorce. Com I mean, it's very clear what the thing does. There's no cleverness. Do you know what I'm saying? And we're we're someone to be like, I want to be the divorce advocates. Does that make sense?
00:07:21:15 - 00:07:39:12
Unknown
Clever. Clear. And in order to be clear on the things that you want to do, one of the the ways that we train people is we tell people, don't be late and go out of the way to be late. If you'd say be certain to be on time, they may question themselves to be on time, but at least they focus on what they need.
00:07:39:13 - 00:07:58:15
Unknown
You say, don't forget, it's going to make somebody forget. We always say, remember. So a lot of people on their podcast will say, well, don't forget to subscribe. Remember to subscribe if you think of the word remember, remember happens now. Forget is a program that down the road you'll go out of your way to have amnesia. So the language is a very, very simple thing.
00:07:58:15 - 00:08:14:12
Unknown
So we have to be very, very careful, especially if we're working towards something like when we work with people, helping them with major challenges and traumas and different types of things, they usually hold on to emotions and pictures and sounds and feelings in their mind, and they want to get rid of them. And they're like, I want to get rid of the feeling.
00:08:14:12 - 00:08:31:09
Unknown
I want to get rid of this feeling. And every time they say the feeling, they sure it one more time. Like, man, I just want to stop thinking about my dog that got sick, that died. I want to stop thinking about that girl that was mean to me, man. I just wish it would go away versus adding a different picture or a different memory, which changes everything.
00:08:31:09 - 00:08:47:16
Unknown
So this is what I'd love to find a way to picture this even more often now. If you programed your mind to picture it more often. It's almost. When I taught the stuff prior to ChatGPT, nobody knew what I was talking about, but now it's like a prompt. I've been teaching this since 2003, so I am incorrect how many years I've been doing this?
00:08:47:19 - 00:09:07:23
Unknown
Almost 30. I mean, 23 years, 24 years. I mean, I've been teaching this material yet you've got to really ask the question, what is it you actually want? What is it you're actually looking to do here? And how do we eliminate any confusion, the wrong kind of confusion from stopping you to get what you want. So help me understand this, right?
00:09:08:00 - 00:09:15:13
Unknown
Because I understand this. Because I've gone through this, understand it or be good at it. Those are two different things. Yeah.
00:09:15:15 - 00:09:28:06
Unknown
I just got your brain, didn't I? I'm trying to figure out how the best way to phrase this. Now you're scared. Now you're scared to ask me anything? No. I want you to understand. I want you to. It's like the first five minutes are so critical in the watch time graphs. And I'm like, where we didn't have this huge threshold of success.
00:09:28:07 - 00:09:44:01
Unknown
I just kind of didn't give a shit. And I'm like, every. Okay, that's again, there are people that are going to hear you describe this in kind of dismiss it. And I was one of them, like I legitimately was until I just kind of did it for fun, like on a whim was kind of a whimsy thing.
00:09:44:02 - 00:10:06:14
Unknown
And then it started working and I was like, Holy shit. Like my words have been defining my reality. I thought I was just describing them. So, like, to somebody who's hearing this like, you know, I don't know, suck a crystal, man like that sounds so woo woo. Like, how do you resolve that? I don't usually like to resolve things for people that don't want them resolved, but the ones that do want them resolved, I make suggestions.
00:10:06:16 - 00:10:24:16
Unknown
Give you an example if somebody wants to do something different. So I years ago I was on a podcast, I was in Irvine, California, and I was in a podcast with a gentleman and he stopped me mid podcast and he said, Michael, whoa, I see what you're doing here. Like, you are literally teaching how to motivate and empower somebody to see their world bigger and better.
00:10:24:16 - 00:10:44:19
Unknown
So they do bigger things. I said, yes, he goes, how do you motivate someone to do something? And I just quickly stopped and I said, motivate whom to do what? Because if I would have just literally given him an answer, it would have fallen on deaf ears. The second somebody puts it to a person and a location at a time, it goes into a different part of the brain.
00:10:44:19 - 00:11:00:14
Unknown
You start getting what's called geographical rapport with the idea. And what geographical rapport is, is location a time and a place which the brain can remember. So he says, I want to motivate my kid to want to do better at basketball. I said, okay, well, here's what you're going to do. It's real simple. We're going to have to get really good at suggesting.
00:11:00:14 - 00:11:14:03
Unknown
So tomorrow morning after your child eight because don't ask your kid to do anything when they haven't eaten. I want you to say to your kid, I want you to look him in the eyes, because I bet you've tried to motivate them. Told him he could be better. Try to empower them. Tell me. It could be great. All the stuff that hardly works.
00:11:14:03 - 00:11:29:02
Unknown
Here's what I want you to do. I want you to say to your kid tomorrow. I want you to say right after you listen, if you ever want to get our basketball, I may have a couple of ideas. And then I want you to say. But I can't go from right now if you're serious about it, what I'd like you to do is just come back to me when you're ready, and I'll.
00:11:29:02 - 00:11:45:15
Unknown
And I'll share with you, but not now. And walk away. And at that moment, here's where the neural pathways shift. If I get you excited about it, the excitement wears off. If it's your idea, then you want it. So the guy calls me the next day and he goes, Michael, I did what you said to do. I went up to my kid, I did that thing.
00:11:45:15 - 00:12:09:10
Unknown
And he goes, I don't know whether to like you or kill you. I said, what happened? Because I did it. And he comes home to the next day. Now I got to get him a freaking coach. Now, why I'm telling you, this is we've got a practice suggesting. So once you get it, it becomes addictive and you could start saying, hey, listen, Bill, later today you're going to notice the second you say you're going to notice, you're going to realize that every conversation we have, we are programing each other, whether we realize it or not.
00:12:09:10 - 00:12:21:20
Unknown
So if I said, Brady, one of the things you're gonna notice later today while you're driving is blank. Whatever it is, and you're going to come back to me probably next couple of days because, Michael, it's crazy you brought that up. I did see that. I didn't tell you what to see. I just told you you're going to notice.
00:12:21:20 - 00:12:37:19
Unknown
And part of it is getting really good at suggesting suggesting things to people. So when someone has doubt, the first thing I'd say is I would. I would say to them, well, Michael, I don't know if that thing would work. I said, you're absolutely right, probably won't work for you. And if you'd like to find a way to make it work, I could show you how that happens.
00:12:37:19 - 00:12:55:09
Unknown
But that'll be up to you so you don't even resist it. Why would I? Why would you fight with someone? I. Yeah, if it's ineffective, why would you do it that way? But most people do, and they can be most people. And that's the difference. I don't work for most people. I work for people that want to be who they're capable of being, not like everyone else.
00:12:55:10 - 00:13:10:19
Unknown
And it's that moment where things change, where someone hears a show like this and like, dude, there's something about that guy. How did he get millions of views? How did he do this? How did he make that happen? How did he create that great life? How did he get that great wife? What did he do? It's when you start asking those questions, you want difference.
00:13:10:19 - 00:13:29:09
Unknown
So it's the ability to sort through who's going to use your time and who you're going to use your time with. Well, and that's one of the ways that you become a magician. So embedded suggestions or also they kind of feel like magic. Can you describe that. Like how an embedded suggestion works in embedded suggestion is building a suggestion into something?
00:13:29:09 - 00:13:46:15
Unknown
I'll take it even step further. It's funny to single people like embed suggestions. We used to make the joke, I've been doing this. What's that you said in bed? How do I get them in bed? Right? The in bed suggestions, but embedded suggestions. Putting a suggestion inside of something. So something as simple as this. This is silly, but I check it out.
00:13:46:15 - 00:14:01:08
Unknown
You ever check in hotel? Yes. Okay, so you check in hotel and you go to the people joke about this all the time. But this is not even sales. This is just you and empowerment. And when you check in hotel, you go to the front and you go to the front of the place. They go up and they say, hey, you know, how can I help you?
00:14:01:08 - 00:14:15:06
Unknown
And you say, I'm checking in. And what do they say to you? Okay, great. You know, do you have a card on file? Do you have a reservation? Reservation and license and what credit card? You hand it to them, you go into a trance. They then tell you your room is on the third floor. Go to the elevators.
00:14:15:06 - 00:14:27:13
Unknown
You don't pay attention. Then hopefully your wife paid attention. And then you find your room. You go into a trance just because you're waiting around or what? Well, you're just in, like a focus. They're like, go to this, go to that, and you just stand there, you barely paying attention. And then like, that's why when you walk away, very few people can find the room.
00:14:27:14 - 00:14:44:12
Unknown
And have you done that before? They draw it on a map and you're like, what the hell? Because you're like, you're in a trance of license, credit card room. Pay attention. Swipe a credit card. When I check in, it's different, I check in, I said, yes, you can't help me notice what I said and yes, you can help me.
00:14:44:13 - 00:15:03:07
Unknown
Okay, that's a help me. Do you see this? Yes, you can help me. I'm already preloading the next thing. Here's my license or credit card. And they say, Mr. Byrne, I've got you in a nice studio suite. And then I'm very kindly say, great. Is that the best room you can get me? And then I pause, and then they'll nicely say, it's a very nice room.
00:15:03:07 - 00:15:20:08
Unknown
I said, I appreciate that, but is it the best room that you can get me? Well, it's a really nice room, I probably could I have talked to one of the managers or one of the leaders, and I just look at them and go, you're a leader. I bet you can figure it out. It's amazing how fast you they will go out of their way to feel great, because you just made them a leader.
00:15:20:08 - 00:15:34:15
Unknown
You suggested they were a leader. They can figure it out. So at the end of the day, the second you say to somebody you can help me or customer support people, you say, you say to them, I know there's something you can do something, and then you just shut your mouth and they will realize they can do something.
00:15:34:15 - 00:15:49:06
Unknown
It'll break their script. You can't do something. So you really do this all the time. So does it work because you're speaking to kind of an identity layer of them, like you're saying you are a leader, not like, oh, I'm sure you can make that call. But it's like, no, you fundamentally you're a leader. They are leader, aren't they?
00:15:49:08 - 00:16:08:08
Unknown
I don't know that. Yeah, of course everyone's a leader. So think about this. You're on the phone with the customer support person. They say nothing I could do about this with Verizon. You're bill. I'd say. Listen, I appreciate that, but I know there's something you can do something. And then you shut up. They have to proceed with the suggestion because that's the last prompt given they've never been said.
00:16:08:13 - 00:16:26:13
Unknown
It's never been said to them before. They don't know what to do. Well, you know, here's what I can probably do. Okay. Thank you. I knew you could figure it out. And what's interesting is it's not about a manipulation tactic. It's giving people an alternative, a different suggestion. So when you say you can do something, it's amazing what you can do.
00:16:26:14 - 00:16:40:22
Unknown
So let's go back to motivating people. Or you can go in the ring tonight. And when you get there you'll notice a couple of things. It'll be you and another fighter. And when you stand in that ring, you can either walk in and you can make things mean things. See, a lot of times we means under the ring.
00:16:40:22 - 00:17:01:04

I'm ready to fight. Or when you step in the ring, your right foot in front of your left foot, you'll take a deep breath, which they're going to do. And you do that. You'll feel a confidence take over your body. The confidence will begin to grow, and you'll begin to notice that your all the training that you've had up till now is allowing you to easily and simply do your objective in doing what you need to do.
00:17:01:05 - 00:17:16:02
Unknown
You've had this fight a thousand times. You're just going to get through it, and you can already picture yourself in the locker room afterwards, taking a shower and realizing how well it went. But it's going to take you walking in the ring to build that confidence. The second you start to talk this way to people, it isn't anything anyone can't do.
00:17:16:02 - 00:17:37:10
Unknown
We can send our kids to school this way we can send ourselves to bed this way. It is basically learning to speak in suggestions instead of speaking in statements. Statements do nothing. Suggestions lead and statements do nothing. Okay, why does this work? Because the mind works. Yeah. What is that like? I've heard it described as the mind's like a supercomputer.
00:17:37:10 - 00:17:56:08
Unknown
So these must be programs. We accept them or we uninstall them. How does that work? I mean, don't you suggest things to yourselves all the time? I'm hungry. What does that mean? And we. But usually is in response to, like, the sensation of hunger. Okay, fine. I'm going to wake up and I'm going to act out a role of a person that makes a certain amount of money, a certain kind of life, doing a certain kind of thing.
00:17:56:08 - 00:18:12:17
Unknown
We suggest to ourselves all the time who we are. I'm good at this. I'm not good at this. I'm not good at that. It's when you change the suggestion. You create what's called possibility. And it's in that space of possibility. That is where the magic is. See, when people ask what I really do, I get people to see things they couldn't see prior.
00:18:12:17 - 00:18:38:13
Unknown
And when you expand your vision like a lens on a camera, a little bit more, a little bit more, you see more tight lens, small shot, wider lens, more things to notice, more things to look at. There's different levels of focus at different times. So why it works? I don't usually answer why I like how and the reason I like how is I can go, why all day long, why it works because the the brain does this, this and this and that'll uma the why crowd.
00:18:38:14 - 00:18:54:22
Unknown
The top performers want to know how to do it. And what if they got good at it? See, that's the part I want to train people that are listening. Right now. There's three, four groups of people. People want to know why it works. Here's why it works. Whoever invented human beings, I wasn't involved. We were born and we live in a world, and we do this.
00:18:54:22 - 00:19:17:08
Unknown
And here's how it works. What we can do is use language in a very specific way. So what I would say is the big question you ask is how can I use it? When can I use it? The entrance all the time. And what if this is something that I've been looking for? So all top performers, all incredible influential people have the ability to show people different perspectives and they currently have.
00:19:17:09 - 00:19:37:22
Unknown
So I will get more into context for you. And I have no problem answering like, why? I mean, I've seen read studies and I figured it out, but man, I'm just going to tell you I stopped asking why a long time ago. Because therapists ask why and people stay in therapy for 3040 years. My first statement when I sit down with the coaching client is this are you against the idea that this could happen faster and easier than you expected?
00:19:38:03 - 00:20:02:11
Unknown
No therapist has ever said that in the history of therapy. Have they know there was this what you mom do? And you tell them and you relive it one more time and you build it deeper. Oh, how did that make you feel? And then you feel like crap, and then you feel bad and all this stuff, and you relive it over and over again, and then they start cutting you a prescription for Prozac versus are you against the idea that in the next hour or two, you can feel better and your life can be easier than it currently is, and you can walk out of here feeling more confident and be a better wife or
00:20:02:11 - 00:20:23:09
Unknown
better husband. Nobody says that. I can already hear the comment section being like, this guy's a hypnotist. Yeah, of course I am. So are you. And so is everybody in the comment section. How am I hypnotist? What is hypnosis? I don't mean it's like overriding someone's executive functions and making them bark like a dog and walk like a duck.
00:20:23:10 - 00:20:37:17
Unknown
I mean, if making someone enjoy their life and feel great and feel empowered is a is an issue with anybody, let me know where the problem comes in. But hypnosis, I think we're all in trance all the time. Every single person is a chance 24 hours, seven days a week. It just did. You pick the one you're in?
00:20:37:19 - 00:20:52:07
Unknown
We were born into a trance. I mean, literally, we were born into one. Like the way things are, the way the world works. You just got up. I mean, listen, the idea of going to school when you were in kindergarten was here before you got here. You you were born into that trance. And then there's other people that have a trance.
00:20:52:07 - 00:21:10:00
Unknown
They live in a farm somewhere. There is no kindergarten. So yes, I do hypnosis and yes, everyone does hypnosis. And we went up in hypnosis all the time. It's not like I'm making anybody dance like a chicken. Those are the guys that are knowing that's like a bad podcast. Those are like the shady guys, right?
00:21:10:02 - 00:21:25:02
Unknown
But it does work. And why? How the hell does that work? How do they get somebody to, like, dance like a chicken? Go on stage? I mean, I've had I've had people with hypnosis. I had again, Anthony, one of my events, he got him convinced his name wasn't Anthony. You convinced a guy that his name was not. Oh, dude, I've had people forget who their kids are.
00:21:25:02 - 00:21:41:03
Unknown
And the funny thing is, if you get someone to not remember their name. And I said it's just a simple suggestion because all hypnosis is massive amounts of self-respect, and love is the only way to do it. You cannot. People think you can overpower a person. And like, I'm going to walk up and hypnotize you. Yeah, you can to some degree.
00:21:41:05 - 00:21:57:19
Unknown
People are not going to do what they don't want to do and what they're not capable of doing, and there's usually a large amount of self-respect and love that allows it to work well. So one of the ways I test this for people is I'll work with somebody and I'll get them to forget something. The coolest part about getting someone to forget their name.
00:21:57:19 - 00:22:16:04
Unknown
And I had this guy convinced his wasn't his name. He even showed me his license and he was name is Anthony. And then I convinced him he was Javier and he showed me his license and he literally go see it, says Javier. He didn't know who his wife was. He forgot his name. And then I also got him to forget that he wasn't who he thought he was, but he was an expert bowler.
00:22:16:05 - 00:22:28:20
Unknown
Absolutely incredible. Have videotapes of this. I will literally send them for the show. This guy never bowled, but I got him convinced he throw the ball straight up in the air over in Scottsdale Lane. We took him out. He went out there, we put him in trance. While he was there, he threw the ball straight up in the air.
00:22:28:20 - 00:22:46:06
Unknown
It landed. He got like 4 or 5 strikes in a row. He literally would. It was impossible the way through this to the average person. And one of the coolest things about it was he started giving instructions to people how they could bowl better, and he started telling me about all of it. Like he started telling me all about, like the who sponsored him.
00:22:46:06 - 00:22:58:19
Unknown
And he knew things about bowling and how to hold the ball and, and then even saw who his wife was. And he goes, man, she's cute. And like, he thought she was. So he was like, I'm a little intimidated to talk to her because he had some insecurities. We all do. He goes, I want to talk to her.
00:22:58:20 - 00:23:19:06
Unknown
Does that make sense? It was fascinating. And the reason I did this is when that's over, a group of people say, like, if we can do that. What else can we do? And if you can get someone to forget their name, they can also forget being abused. They can forget the tragedies they've been through. They can forget all the negativity of their divorce.
00:23:19:06 - 00:23:43:18
Unknown
They can forget the sexual assault. They can forget all that stuff. So if you can get someone to forget something little, you can alter their mind somewhere else. So it's very powerful. I will tell you, I use it regularly with myself, people in my my practice and I work with people. I'm able to help them do it. But could you imagine the ability to influence somebody to see what's possible, bigger and better and easier to get so it's easier for someone.
00:23:43:18 - 00:24:02:00
Unknown
So they actually do it and they follow through. They do what they said they were going to do it. They always wanted to do their entire life. And then their confidence grows and it catches up because our ideas and our actions are usually out of whack. Oh my God, I want that. But my actions are down here. If you can get the idea and the actions both at the same level and your confidence.
00:24:02:00 - 00:24:21:06
Unknown
And I did it. That's where the power comes in. It's a slight edge, it's powerful, and it's something pretty much anybody could learn how to do. It's how you use your words to get somebody to do something. Can someone do that for themselves? Anybody listening right now? How would that be done? Well, let's put in context. So when you say how would it be done?
00:24:21:06 - 00:24:40:05
Unknown
We just made it too hard. No wonder everybody's going to complain in the comments because they're going to be like, I can't do it. Well, of course you can't because you just said you can't do it right. But let's make it real easy. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been in a car accident? No. Never been to know you had anything like bad happen you don't need.
00:24:40:06 - 00:24:56:22
Unknown
Tell me what it is. No. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like physically bad. Yeah. Like when you think about it. What? Erect a motorcycle. Oh, okay. You've been in Iraq, right? Do you remember it? Yeah. Exactly. How do you write? You still ride? No. Okay. Did you see your reaction? You're like, oh, because it's like it was pretty big deal, wasn't it?
00:24:56:23 - 00:25:12:17
Unknown
Yeah. So when you picture riding that motorcycle, do you picture that out of your own eyes? That's the accent. Yeah. Like you picture like you don't see you. Right. No, it's I don't know how you hit it. What? How you hit. Like, what did you do? It was ridiculous. It was winter. I was going around about. I was my new motorcycle.
00:25:12:17 - 00:25:26:21
Unknown
I just didn't know how to ride. And so when I'm doing kind of a roundabout, I didn't account for the traction. You know, it was Utah. And so I slid and slid into a curb and just smashed the tank. And if anybody watching this right, pause the video right now, they would literally zoom in. They would look at your pupils that are completely enormous.
00:25:26:21 - 00:25:39:07
Unknown
It looks like you've been smoking weed at a very, very high level. Does that make sense? Your pupils are absolutely enormous right now, and they're glazed over. And you can look right into the camera. And anyone could pause and watch the video. What happened is you just left the room here right now and you actually went to that memory.
00:25:39:08 - 00:25:56:19
Unknown
Now I'm going to ask you to remember that same thing. Okay? Now I want you to you hit the snowbank and you can picture the snowbank. And you did the reaction. You did the thing you did. Same thing. What I'd love you to do right now is I want you to imagine for a second that you were watching you.
00:25:56:21 - 00:26:18:10
Unknown
You're with a friend, and you were in the bike behind and you were watching. You have that same exact bike issue where you took the bike and you ran into the snow thing and did it. How does it feel watching it from the bike behind you see, Brady has the accident. Maybe a little more trivial. Okay. Is it black and white or is a color?
00:26:18:12 - 00:26:29:21
Unknown
It's color. Okay. If you were to, like, instantly make it black and white, like this bottle. If I had to pay you to do it, or you just did it and you made the whole thing black and white and allowed it to be black and white in your mind, would that be more intense or less intense? Less intense?
00:26:29:21 - 00:26:44:11
Unknown
Okay. Imagine for a second you just made it still and you put it on a TV and there was just a picture of you and a bike and the person in front of you on the bike, which is you on the bike, and you watched it on a black and white TV to imagine it was just on a screen.
00:26:44:12 - 00:26:56:20
Unknown
Did you have a TV as a kid? I had a TV downstairs in my house. There was a wood TV and I had a wood TV with this would on the outside and the TV in the middle. Do you remember those old TVs like aunts and uncles would have, like, almost like furniture. Do you ever see one of those?
00:26:57:02 - 00:27:19:15
Unknown
And imagine you were looking at one of those and you could see there's black and white, you and you watching yourself have this motorcycle situation happen, and somebody came by and did something that you didn't like. Like your mom when you were a kid and just turned off the TV. Now, if I ask you to picture that accident again, what do you see now?
00:27:19:17 - 00:27:38:19
Unknown
Shut off TV. You're picturing a TV. So we replace a memory. See what's funny about this as well? Most people don't realize it's the only reason the accidents there is. You keep putting it there. But if you take that accident, you hide it in a different part of your brain where you can't find it. It doesn't bother you anymore because people say to me all the time, what's more powerful picture sounds or feelings?
00:27:38:21 - 00:27:59:00
Unknown
It's always it's always sounds. It's always words. Because in order to explain, in order to understand something, you have to explain it. You can't have an emotion without a word because the second something occurs, you try to explain it to yourself with words, don't you? For sure. Yeah. Well, what's the most more powerful than words? Nothing. See, you run into something.
00:27:59:00 - 00:28:17:10
Unknown
Someone. He made me feel that way. Well, I just felt upset or I felt bothered or. I don't know what to do, I felt depressed. Intel. A word is applied to an emotion. It has no power. The second you apply a word, the word changes the actual feeling. So when I bring this up right now, is this what most people have never been educated how to do?
00:28:17:11 - 00:28:33:09
Unknown
We take stupid classes in school on stupid subjects about stupid things that we think are important, but very few people have learned how to use their mind in the way that make them allow themselves to get the things they want. This is where our magic comes in. We get people to use their minds to see things that are already there.
00:28:33:13 - 00:28:50:00
Unknown
Allow them to see in a way that serves them better. So is that why if you buy a car, you start seeing the car everywhere. Everywhere particular activating system. You'll see the car everywhere. Because tell us about the rays. Yeah. So what happens is and it's part of the suggestion, part of it is God, I love this car.
00:28:50:02 - 00:29:14:11
Unknown
We'll do it. Your mind's going to go find it more because you love it. Have you ever said you love something? Yeah. You don't want you to love something. Marketing companies, they want to trigger your reticular activating systems. And you're like, I love this show. I love this channel. I love this thing. And immediately you start thinking about it, obsessing it because you attach oxytocin, which is the love chemical, or serotonin, which is the neurotransmitter that actually allows you to feel good for the decisions you've made.
00:29:14:11 - 00:29:33:14
Unknown
You attach both of those things to something you want. So the way the particular activating system works is the second something is important to you, you begin to notice it. When it's not important to you, you don't notice it. Most people wanting what they want is important to them. Having it has never been important. The wanting of it is what's wanting is never going to get you anywhere.
00:29:33:19 - 00:29:53:16
Unknown
Having is a whole different story. Want is a whole different chemical. I want that cereal. Having the cereal is very different. I want to win the Super Bowl, I want to. Having one is very different than wanting to win. So is that kind of like the Olympian gold medal like issue where they get the gold medal and then what is it like the depression.
00:29:53:17 - 00:30:07:13
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah. So same thing. Yeah. Because they don't want to live a great life afterwards. They just want to achieve the one thing they stopped short of what they're capable of. Do you think people everywhere do that in their own lives? I wrote a book called Average Sucks because most people live in average life instead of life they want.
00:30:07:16 - 00:30:23:07
Unknown
They live the life that is their average instead of what their capacity is. So if we can talk about hypnosis all day, I'm more concerned about the hypnosis we're all in that we don't realize we're in. We got a world full of people that are watching social media right now that are obsessed by being like other people. How about give it a shot, being fully yourself?
00:30:23:09 - 00:30:35:04
Unknown
How? The guy said to me years ago, he goes, how tall are you? And I go, I'm like, I thought I was six six. I'm six foot seven now, but I didn't realize I grew. I know it's so funny, but I'm six foot seven and I said I was six six because when he got started acting like it, I go, what do you mean?
00:30:35:05 - 00:30:59:00
Unknown
He goes, five, five? He goes, that'd be fine if you were five foot five, but if you're six six, you should act six six. If you're four two, you should act for two. So wouldn't it be more powerful for human beings to take the time to be who they're capable of being, all instead of trying to be the next Gary Vee, or be the next, be the next doctor fill, or be the next on Oprah Winfrey, or be the next Trump, or be the next Elon Musk, or be the next.
00:30:59:00 - 00:31:14:18
Unknown
I don't know who, whoever it is, Martin Luther King, what I could just name on and on if people would actually grow into who they're capable of being. But it's so much easier to spot other people and wonder why we can't do it. Because you're trying to be someone else and you'll never be them. That's the problem if you were to.
00:31:14:20 - 00:31:28:05
Unknown
So somebody hires you and says, help me figure out how to be myself. That just seems kind of this nebulous issue, because, I mean, you wouldn't work with someone that would say that because there's no context to that. But yes, I know what you mean. You mean like there's something I want. Help me get it. Is that correct?
00:31:28:05 - 00:31:44:02
Unknown
Well, no. Or like, I'm trying to inventories. What are the heuristics that make me me? It's like, hey, I'm trying to be more like Elon Musk. I'm trying to be more like Mr. Beast or whatever. Like with this show, I had to I held off on it for years because I was like, oh, I've got to make it more like the All In podcast or like Friedman or whatever.
00:31:44:03 - 00:31:57:07
Unknown
That was a trance. How do you mean? You were in a trance. You were in a trance that it had to be a certain way. There was a there was a there was something you thought that had to be that way. There was a program and a pattern that you thought had to be correct. Yeah, yeah, it was because it worked.
00:31:57:09 - 00:32:14:18
Unknown
Yeah, I worked for other people. I was like, okay, I got to do something like this and borrow a little bit of that. So if someone is trying to construct their identity from the ground up without borrowing from this or trying to emulate that, you can do that, but you're borrowing and emulating. You have to realize you need to do you, because the second you're being like someone else, you're already incongruent.
00:32:15:00 - 00:32:31:10
Unknown
The second year, you, because we've got to accept your power is you see, the reason my material works so well is when you're you, it's easy. When you try to be me, it's very hard. You can emulate for a minute, but then you need to adapt and adapt. So what was the strategy? You got to actually get the show off the ground because you're you're doing great.
00:32:31:11 - 00:32:42:04
Unknown
I mean, in part it was because my wife is just like, look like you have all these fascinating conversations, you research all this stuff like, you just need to let's just get someone in front of you. Let's just film and see how it goes. So a lot of it was just heard. Just be like, come on, let's just do it.
00:32:42:05 - 00:32:55:18
Unknown
So the wife syndrome. Yeah, I mean, a little bit. You know, I've been thinking about it for years. I've made content off and on, you know. But what I realized is I was like, I was going to try and fit some mold. And then when I started recording, doing more episodes, I realized I was like, if I try and play a role, it's not going to work.
00:32:55:18 - 00:33:06:22
Unknown
So I just wanted to get I have an amazing network use. One of my friends. I was like, I'll get cool people who are amazing at something, and I'm going to ask dumb questions and I'm going to swear a little bit, and I'm going to be fun to listen to and just see how it goes and really well.
00:33:06:23 - 00:33:25:11
Unknown
So there's two different types of people. There's people that are totally okay with the idea of this, following the other people. They don't need their own personality. They're just literally like a tactician or like they will literally follow the rules. There's no emotional attachment, there's no passion to it. And it's fine. Like I know a lot of people, they will literally follow frameworks and study thing.
00:33:25:12 - 00:33:43:08
Unknown
And I sometimes envious of these people because they actually don't get emotionally attached to anything. It's like there's it's like business owners that just they build something they sell that they build something to sell it. That's not you. So the challenge is you did need to build something that fit for you because you would be incongruent trying to be like that.
00:33:43:08 - 00:34:00:03
Unknown
So the issue wasn't borrowing the material. The issue was who you are. You do need to make it your own, so it feels right where other people don't need to make it their own, and they're just totally cool with just doing what they do. Two kinds of people, yeah. Have you seen the movie Everything Everywhere all at Once?
00:34:00:04 - 00:34:19:15
Unknown
No. Sounds cool though. It won all these awards. And there's just basically the thesis is this woman is able to jump into different dimensional like timelines, parallel universes of her living out an infinite amount of man in the High Castle. You read that I've seen the 1 in 4 times. The whole thing all the way. The first season's rough.
00:34:19:16 - 00:34:37:14
Unknown
Did you guys get through acting? No, but you got to get through that thing, okay? The storyline is genius. Okay. Keep going. I'm fascinated by the other parallel, the parallel universes and the multiverse. Yeah, is fascinating because I truly believe in all that stuff. So to some degree. Well, really? Yeah. Do I believe in it? Yeah. Oh, I truly believe that.
00:34:37:14 - 00:34:55:00
Unknown
Because how does that reconcile string theory? I mean, it's like I believe that there's different versions of our lives that could be, could exist based on different decisions. Because where do the people go? Like, okay, so where is that person that you ran into and you were five and you waved at and like, where is that person now?
00:34:55:02 - 00:35:14:04
Unknown
No. And what is their imagery of you in their world? Now let's get into that. So they you waved at somebody. You made a difference in their life. They always remember you, but they don't even know your name. And they built an entire model of who you are, even though you're not in their life. You built another model of you that actually exists over there in their mind, even though you live over here.
00:35:14:06 - 00:35:29:16
Unknown
I can say it again slowly. Yeah. You go into a store, you say something, you actually, you pull out a gun and you, you hold up a store. Yeah. You would never do it. I would never do it either. You hold up a store, you leave. There's a person there with their kid. They freak out the rest of the life.
00:35:29:16 - 00:35:48:13
Unknown
They've got a picture of you, of who you are and what you do. You then turn your life and you do something different. They still held a picture of you as this criminal or this bad person. Let's say you turned your life around, get arrested, blah blah blah. Where I'm going with that is in the mind of somebody else is another version of you that lives that like ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex things.
00:35:48:18 - 00:36:05:00
Unknown
We live in other people's lives and other people's realities based different than our actual reality. A hologram of us living when they encountered us at the time. Did you have people inside your mind that are not who you say they are inside of your mind? You're right and I never thought about that until now. This is not like a long subject I've had.
00:36:05:00 - 00:36:24:17

It's just guys like you bring things like this out of me to talk about. So thank you, thank you. But think about that like there's somebody that you haven't spoken to since high school that sees you a certain way, that hasn't caught up with you in years, that has you in an idea in their mind that lives there a certain way, and they might even talk about you to someone else, and they'll build a third version of you.
00:36:24:19 - 00:36:39:21
Unknown
I saw that happen actually, a year ago. I used to work in pest control, like door to door. It's how I paid for school. Which company was called Edge Utah. So I did it for five years. You door to door people in Utah are so good. When you're more than missionary, you're used to rejection. Are you going? Your money now for the Lord.
00:36:39:23 - 00:36:57:13

Sam gets all those people up there. So I met this guy. He was working for a different company. He helped me out through one thing or another. Years go by. I then go and work for Tanner Fox. I worked for Mr. Beast, and then I moved to Arizona, build our company here, and I meet up with him because I know he's living here, and I hadn't seen this guy legitimately since before the YouTube thing happened, all of that.
00:36:57:13 - 00:37:12:12
Unknown
So it's been like eight years. We meet up for lunch and he looks at me and goes, did you get taller? And I was like, no, just been six to my whole life. But what had happened was I became more aware of my posture and who I was before. I always played small, and so I just kind of carried myself in that way.
00:37:12:12 - 00:37:27:23
Unknown
And then over the course of like these really cool channels I got to go through. And then the training with your linguistic programing, William, meeting you like having these really amazing network. I physically carried myself differently. So the hologram that he had of me did not match up with the person who was in front of him. And he literally just he was like shocked.
00:37:27:23 - 00:37:45:02
Unknown
He just was like, I don't even know who you are. And it was such an illustrative moment for me. Like, we carry versions of people we've met in our minds and they just like, don't get an update. There's no patch update, there's no software update. We just kind of hold them like that forever. So when people say, oh, I don't think people can change, it's like it's probably just didn't get the update.
00:37:45:03 - 00:37:59:21
Unknown
We don't allow them to change. So like there's a there'd be someone like, oh man, that girl in high school, man, she was so good looking and you might see her look good anymore. Does that make sense at all? She'll look at all anymore. Right. But there's still that feeling you had from back then that's associated with it.
00:37:59:22 - 00:38:20:06
Unknown
And you might compromise your values based on old thinking. So a lot of it is associations and filing in the mind. So the majority of us have never learned how to file. Like why are we learning math in school? We should learn like like memory filing, how we stack things, how the mind works. Like we file information in our mind.
00:38:20:07 - 00:38:36:05
Unknown
Like I love that, I want that that's important. We we didn't realize we do this 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We say really smart things and really dumb things like, Starbucks is happy, we love Starbucks. And that's why you drive into the dream. You strive by that shit. You should not be driving in a 7 or 8 bucks of coffee.
00:38:36:05 - 00:38:54:15
Unknown
What the hell are people doing? Get rich. No wonder people are broke. Do you know what I'm saying? So what I'm getting at is we make statements and we file information inside of our minds that things matter. And the way it's just a literal our mind. It doesn't. There's no moral. It's a moral compass. There's no. If we tell it, it's true.
00:38:54:15 - 00:39:15:05
Unknown
It's true, and it designs a model of this is important. This is not important. Remember this. Don't remember that. And we had no idea we did that. Note for the editor. Cut that previous mention of everything everywhere all at once. I'm going to take that again from here because we just kind of love it. We skipped it. So that makes me think of so have you seen the movie Everything Everywhere all at once?
00:39:15:06 - 00:39:35:13
Unknown
No, but there's a lot of absolutes. It's so it has to do with this multiverse theory. And what it does is it shows this one character, and she owns a laundromat and she's an immigrant. I think she's an immigrant from China and her and her husband just trying to get the laundromat working. And they're stressed with taxes, and they have to go into the IRS building and the IRS ladies giving her a hard time.
00:39:35:13 - 00:39:52:13
Unknown
And it's just like it depicts this life that she just doesn't love. And it's brutal and it's hard. And she steps, I think, into a back room, comes across some sort of technology or a portal. Anyways, what it lets her do is tap in to a parallel timeline of her life, where she lived her life to the fullest.
00:39:52:17 - 00:40:08:15
Unknown
So when one timeline she's a martial arts like a Jackie Chan and another one, she's like the most famous singer in the world. And another one, she's another. She's a movie star. And another one she has like combat, military skills. And so all of these other timelines have, like, I think, villains or characters that somehow start pouring into it.
00:40:08:16 - 00:40:26:09
Unknown
Now. She's like in a combat martial arts fight with the the IRS lady. And so one of the three lines in this movie is she goes, why is it that I'm able to tap into all these other timelines and because because out of the millions or billions of outcomes that your life could have had, you were living the one that is the least fulfilled.
00:40:26:11 - 00:40:43:07
Unknown
That's powerful. It's like she's not able to capitalize and all the things she could have been, and she's able to peer into these other timelines. Look at that. Like I'm on the red carpet. Look at that. I'm a martial arts master. And it's like you chose through a series of compounding choices day over, day over day to not be the most incredible version of you.
00:40:43:07 - 00:41:03:01
Unknown
And no one made you do it. The only one that did was you. That is what I do. And I get people to see the possibility of what's possible. Not just see it, not just talk about it, see themselves actually doing it. Because the same thing that we talked about with the motorcycle accident, the same technique that used to create trauma, we can use positive drama, see positive trauma.
00:41:03:02 - 00:41:21:01
Unknown
You never heard of your whole life? Yeah. Trauma. That doesn't make sense. Who said traumas a bad thing? Traumatic experience is something that is extreme. It's an emotional experience that your mind is not to forget. So let's talk about trauma for a minute. Let's pull the therapy model out of it. Let's talk what it is. It's traumatic experience, something that shocks you.
00:41:21:02 - 00:41:38:11
Unknown
So there's two ways to change our lives. One is repetition takes freaking forever. Number two is a peak emotional experience, something that goes whoa. Because the way the mind works is very, very simple. I mean, there's the there's the skull, the brain, which you never should see. Your brain. I don't think anyone should ever see their brain. It's just like like if you saw it in front of you.
00:41:38:11 - 00:41:58:13
Unknown
Dead. Right. Okay. But your mind runs on a very simple function. It's meant to keep your identity alive. What you think is the most important thing alive, and to look for things that give you what's called advantages I love this. My mind is always looking for advantages. Give me what I want. I said, man, I love this thing, I want it, I make it happen, I seek it, I want it, I think.
00:41:58:14 - 00:42:19:07
Unknown
And you'll do that. Except for the other function is the void function. Avoid anything that's mildly uncomfortable. So the challenge is this is where life gets really tricky. We make statements like this is great, or we make statements that are so stupid like, my wedding is the best day of my life. The second you say the wedding is the greatest day of your life, what the hell are you going to do with the rest of your life?
00:42:19:08 - 00:42:31:22
Unknown
Probably not. Let any of them be good days. You could say. Up till now, this has been one of the best days of my life. Because how are you not gonna have a $20,000 open bar every day of the week? You're not going to have a $10,000 this, 5000 this. You get married. You know what I'm saying? You're not.
00:42:31:23 - 00:42:48:07
Unknown
You can't do that every day. So you're putting the pressure on you. You need to say, up until now, it's been one of the best days of my life. But moving forward, I'm going to find something else. We make statements like, this is great, I love this. I never want this to end. And in that peak state positive trauma, we make a statement for ourselves.
00:42:48:08 - 00:43:05:04
Unknown
Like, God, I love this. This is like the best. I never want this to end with a beer in your hand. A $6 worth of a six pack, cheap beer, never wanted to end, and you wind up in glory days like a Bruce Springsteen song 40 years later talking about the glory days of the bar, because you said you never wanted it to end and you thought it was just words.
00:43:05:04 - 00:43:20:19
Unknown
But the words would program everything that we do in our lives. So the reason we play small versions of ourselves is we program ourselves to do it. We don't mean to. It's not like we went out of our way to be on fulfilled. It's not a conspiracy. It's simple math. We told ourselves something 3 or 4 times and we believe it's true.
00:43:20:19 - 00:43:35:19
Unknown
And we acted out. We said we like it and we continue. And it's it's comfortable. But the scariest thing in the world is to admit this. You know what? I know I'm capable of more. And I've actually my entire life up till now has been a lie to say that one more time, most people, their biggest issue is to admit everything.
00:43:35:20 - 00:43:52:20
Unknown
Up till now, my life is good. I know I'm capable of more, which means I haven't actually done it. And in order for me to become more, I have to admit I've been lying all these years. It's a lie if I say, listen, I'm a teacher for 30 fricking years of a school teacher, and then I decide I'm going to be a podcast entrepreneur, right?
00:43:52:21 - 00:44:11:23
Unknown
I'm going to go out and do it. I got to go back to all these people I have relationships with and tell them I was wrong. And if you were talked about Chase earlier, Chase would say defying the community, defying the group. Okay, I'm going to text him after this time. I was talking about them. And defying the group is a very scary thing.
00:44:12:00 - 00:44:37:17
Unknown
This is why people why the Nazis had control. This is why, you know, all these people had control over people. The Red Army could do things because you were scared to defy the group. Not even for your own sake, the Soviets. It's crazy. So in order for someone to live the most fulfilling life, they need to admit that what they're doing is not good enough yet, which is one of the most painful things in the world and the way the mind works.
00:44:37:17 - 00:44:55:17
Unknown
You don't want to feel pain, so I'll just settle for where I'm at. So that is that like the crabs in the bucket theory, then? Yeah. If you're going into the Jordan Peterson thing, I've read that in his book, I believe. So why is it that people do that? Like why is it that people get so? I mean, it's because they get threatened that somebody else is changing and they might be changing for the better.
00:44:55:17 - 00:45:15:02
Unknown
And they themselves lack of education. It's not because they're just like, I'm not ready to make a change. You shouldn't make that change. They don't believe they can. They don't believe that they can, but they're watching someone else. So let me ask you this. Have you? I'm a big hockey guy. It is amazing how many brothers both make the NHL really fascinating.
00:45:15:03 - 00:45:35:02
Unknown
Yeah, because your brother did it. You can do it. But if no one around you is doing it and it's not comfortable the people doing it or a threat to you, it's challenging. So if you lived in a world where everything was possible, like I take Jack U.S who scored the gold, the gold, the golden goal for the US Olympic team, and his brother got the one the night before and then he got the one the next day.
00:45:35:02 - 00:45:56:16
Unknown
They both got the overtime winners. They first understand mind control and that's the one thing I'll talk about Mike Tyson after this. And his mind control hypnosis is fascinating. And the mom got a gold medal. Jack and his brother got a gold medal, and the dad was a professional hockey player. There was no other option. Everyone in their world, that's what normal that was, their normalization.
00:45:56:19 - 00:46:14:05
Unknown
So when Mike Tyson, people say Mike Tyson, they go and I studied his book is incredible. And it's not about what you think it is the Undisputed Truth. It's a book about hypnosis. People don't know this. So what happened is Mike Tyson was under a trance. All I do is a jerk. Bit off an ear. Did drugs that.
00:46:14:06 - 00:46:29:06
Unknown
Of course you do. When your mom turns tricks next to you in bed, when you're a young kid and you sleep next to her and your mom's a hooker and she's turning tricks in the apartment, next year, you're probably going to bite a few years. Does that make sense? Yeah, it's crazy story. But then he gets arrested. He's Robin houses.
00:46:29:11 - 00:46:47:16
Unknown
He goes to jail. Gundam custom. Otto takes him under his wing. He convinces him he was a descendant of a Greek god. Like a Spartan. He goes, really? He never thought of his whole life. And he got him to start studying hypnosis. He got him to read this book called Auto Suggestion, an archery book, and he convinced him in trance.
00:46:47:17 - 00:47:06:05
Unknown
His only idea was to do his job, to do what he needed to do. It's all in there. And the undisputed truth the entire book. He explains that custom Otto was one of the greatest trainers in boxing coaches in the world. He was master hypnotist. And what it's not like he's going, you're going to do it tells you he would just convince this man that he was more than he thought he was.
00:47:06:06 - 00:47:26:02
Unknown
See, when you can get a human being to believe they're more than they think they are, they'll do anything. That's the power. So that's just a layer of self-limiting beliefs that we impose on ourselves over and over. I read the weirdest comment. My friend Akshay crossed Antarctica, nearly died doing it, and he talks about how he's crazy. I've known him for years.
00:47:26:06 - 00:47:43:06
Unknown
You shout out Akshay, love you brother! And he made this point which we used in the trailer, which was like, if your mind dictates your reality then just design whatever the fuck you want. There were comments where people were like the arrogance of that statement. They were threatened by this. They were like offended. They're like, how dare you think that?
00:47:43:06 - 00:48:01:15
Unknown
You can just dictate and shape your thoughts and improve yourself in your own? And for me, it's like super obvious because I have seen the fruits of doing this. There's no like there's not like ego attached to it. I'm just like, dude, like this is chemically how the brain works. We're filtering information in real time. If you choose where you point that filter, things will get better.
00:48:01:15 - 00:48:17:20
Unknown
It's really obvious to me. And so and so in my naivete, assume maybe it is for everybody, but it's not. And so most people find that saying, I want my life to be better. And people go, well, who do you think you are to deserve that? It's like, what is that? So these people have a plan, like it's like a blueprint.
00:48:17:22 - 00:48:41:18
Unknown
I just moved into our new house. Right? I've been working out for two and a half years of freaking hell. Do you know what I'm saying? Difficult process. Huge backyard. But it was a blueprint. And we literally live in what the blueprint was. Most people's blueprint you probably wouldn't want. Do you know what I'm saying? And so if you take a look at what you're saying, like, why do people fight that?
00:48:41:22 - 00:49:06:17
Unknown
Because the answer is obvious. The mind is very, very powerful. And once they accepted the mind was super powerful, then they'd actually have to do something. So yeah. You got it. Yeah. So when my mentor, Jim Rohn, that was my mentor. I met Jim when I was 19 years old until about 2009. I knew Jim know, and Jim got you to realize, you say what the mind can perceive and you can achieve.
00:49:06:17 - 00:49:21:19
Unknown
And he'd say, whatever you think about, you can get. And I luckily learned that at a very, very young age. And I started to realize that when you think about somebody, sometimes a phone rings, maybe not all the time. Yes, you've done it right. Yes. Dude, what if you can get a little bit better at that? Just a little.
00:49:21:20 - 00:49:35:16
Unknown
I've been thrown out of casinos. I've been removed from places I know. Terence Jade and I were. We're in Vegas, and I. And I got that feeling like we all have had that feeling before. And it takes us over, like, have you been there? Like, no. Things are working out. You're in flow. Yes. And I'm liking flow and I.
00:49:35:16 - 00:49:49:16
Unknown
And I'm playing blackjack. I do it in craps too, but I'm playing blackjack and I go, we're going to work together. So most people step at a blackjack table. I hope they don't lose. I look, the dealer and I go, we're gonna make some money together. Are you ready? And they're like, yeah, whatever. To watch this, I'm gonna call my cards.
00:49:49:18 - 00:50:05:05
Unknown
And I'm not always right. But they really remember when you're right. Give me, give me a big one. I get a ten. Say thank you. Now he feels good. I'll take an ace. I got a nine. All right, next time, give me two more. Next time gives me. Oh, that's the two I thought I wanted. Now he thinks I'm calling these things.
00:50:05:05 - 00:50:19:08
Unknown
It's like a mentalist, right? But more importantly, he thinks we're in this game together. So I go watch this, and I got a 20, I got a 14. I go, you're going under it of ten, I go, you're going under, give me a little card. Two comes up, I call the pit bulls. Ever watch this. Give me another little one.
00:50:19:08 - 00:50:33:03
Unknown
Another two. I go watch this. Give me another one I got a three. I go a bet. You want to know how I did that? And she goes I don't want to know. Because then I got to throw you out. But the point is why I'm saying this is why I'm bringing this up, is it's a feeling. I got us into that emotion.
00:50:33:03 - 00:50:47:15
Unknown
So it's not like I'm going to use this to win gambling, but you can use it to win somebody over. Think of how simple this is to somebody. Most people sit down at a casino and they go, oh, I don't lose. I walk up to a dealer and go, we're about to make some money together. Are you ready?
00:50:47:17 - 00:51:02:11
Unknown
What are they going to say? No screw off. And if they don't like me and they're like, oh yeah, whatever. I'll go to another table but find somebody. They're not susceptible, but they like my plan. And that is start convincing them that what we're doing is leading somewhere I want to do and having fun. But then they start like having fun with me.
00:51:02:11 - 00:51:18:02
Unknown
And then when the energy is better, guess what? You do better. And if the energy is better, you do better. You start reading things, you start being a little more confident. I'll win a little bit more often, but that's life. It's not just about gambling. Most people are gambling with their life. Instead of winning. We're going all over the place and topics, I love it.
00:51:18:03 - 00:51:40:13
Unknown
So then do you believe that we can affect a reality in a quantum way? Like if you look at the double slit experiment or ASU, those are big words. Quantity. Okay. Yeah, okay. I'm just whatever the hell it is. So I mean, there is a thesis where it's like the double slit experiment illustrated that if you fire photons at a thing and then you observe it, the state of it changes, right?
00:51:40:14 - 00:52:02:05
Unknown
And then same thing with quantum entanglement. It's like something two things can be an entirely different opposite sides of the universe. Entangled. There's something weird about our reality. There's something weird about the fabric of this whole thing, and we try and like, put it on paper, but then we relegate it to two dimensions and there's just no way we're going to anywhere close to illustrating what it is that our reality's fabric is like.
00:52:02:06 - 00:52:20:09
Unknown
Do you do you believe that belief can be shaped by thought processes and words and system beliefs? Hundred percent, because that sounds woo woo as hell, right? But I believe it. But who is like nonsense? Like my mentor said it best, like this guy that I work with and stuff, and he says basically most people have about 10,000 thoughts a day.
00:52:20:11 - 00:52:36:16
Unknown
Really good professional athletes have about 200 a day. You got to limit the amount of thoughts you have. Interesting. Why would you want to have any thought you shouldn't have? So when you lower the amount of thoughts you have, you have more focus so you don't get focused going like this. You get focus by limiting thoughts. You never thought about that your entire life.
00:52:36:16 - 00:52:54:03
Unknown
No one has ever told you that. So you get a bunch of random thoughts. And if the thought isn't one you have, I want you to imagine from this day forward, everybody watching this and you especially, is that if you've got thoughts and I had to print them all out in front of you, and every one got printed like a receipt and I had to read them back, you probably would never say half those things ever again.
00:52:54:04 - 00:53:22:18
Unknown
Would you? I would highlight the 21. Do you not read that? And then I would, I would, I would highlight the 30 I want and those are the 30 I'm going to pick. Okay. What are the other ones good for? Zero. Nothing. Distraction rumination. How's that working for you? Rumination. So to answer the answer, the question the biggest the biggest win for people is when you can control not your thoughts, which thoughts you have and when that transforms your life.
00:53:22:18 - 00:53:36:15
Unknown
So I truly believe, like I mean, I as a man thinketh as one of my favorite books, I have about 2530 copies of It's everywhere I go. I have it in my life, in my bag. I travel with it. Have you read it? You haven't read as men think it's about this big. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
00:53:36:16 - 00:53:59:12
Unknown
It's basically whatever thoughts you have, you become period. Whatever you think you are. Period. Pretty sure it was what Jesus and Allah and Buddha and Asham and everybody were saying, whatever God, anybody believes in him, which is probably having the same conversation, right, is all about whatever you think you become. I know it to be true. You could think yourself depressed right now.
00:53:59:14 - 00:54:26:05
Unknown
You could think yourself anxious. You could think yourself sad. You could think yourself genius. But the problem is, most people don't know what thinking is. They don't actually think they thought they have the same thought over and over again. There's a book called What is Thinking by Heidegger, German philosopher, I believe. And in the book he says, most people never have thought thinking is a new idea.
00:54:26:07 - 00:54:43:10
Unknown
You usually regurgitate other people's ideas and you flip them around. Real thinking about something is not what most people do. They ruminate, they cycle. They go through what they go through. So learning how to put your thoughts where you want them to be, where they serve you in your mind, that's where power comes in. This is the biggest things we do.
00:54:43:10 - 00:55:03:09
Unknown
It's like, we like we brainwash. I mean, we we clean out the brain. We find what doesn't belong there. We get rid of it. A lot of brainwash. What a beautiful word brainwash. We. I mean, no one ever got offended by washing your car. Get the get the bird shit off. If you got bird shit in your brain, you should get rid of it, right?
00:55:03:11 - 00:55:19:01
Unknown
What, are you gonna leave it there? Are we going to clean that thing? Going to scrub it? Keep the dirty stuff that's good for your relationship, but get rid of the other stuff. So then, for us as a species, are you kind of implying that thinking is like an evolutionary phenomenon? Does it also mean, like certain animals don't like?
00:55:19:03 - 00:55:36:23
Unknown
I can't speak for any animals. I never been one. I mean, I can, I can, I can make something up. I do believe we think differently, but I don't I mean, the dog is the why does the dog get up with the Pavlov thing? And it's funny, the word Pavlov. No Pavlov. But of course it's funny. The second Pavlov, you start salivating.
00:55:36:23 - 00:55:44:14
Unknown
Just we all start salivating. We hear of, isn't that weird? I'm not.
00:55:44:16 - 00:55:59:00
Unknown
Well, this reminds me of a study that was conducted and we'll site in the in the comments. But they pulled a bunch of different people and I don't know what timeframe it was, but they basically asked him, it's like, hey, when you think when you're inside your head and you're thinking you have an internal like inner voice, whose voice is it?

Is it your voice or is it like the voice of a mentor, or is it kind of this disembodied voice? Like, what is the tone? Whose voice is it inside your head when you think inside your head? And the survey came back and a lot of people said, oh, yeah, it's my own voice. And some people said, it's just kind of this disembodied voice.
00:56:13:06 - 00:56:30:16
Unknown
The overwhelming response is on the survey, though, said what voice? And it was people that just it was insane. And they were like, that is not the response that they expected on the survey. And it's like a lot of people and this is going to get people mad again. But it's like a lot of people don't spend a lot of time in reflection and introspection.
00:56:30:16 - 00:56:51:08
Unknown
I don't know if it's a generational thing. I don't know if being around technology is accelerated. The neurons in our brains, we're firing more, so we're ruminating more. We're thinking in our head more. But there is potentially generations that didn't spend a lot of time in thought, or people who were so busy in their lives or the environment around them didn't allow them to maybe evolve or transcend, or even find the need to to spend a lot of time in deep reflection.
00:56:51:08 - 00:57:14:11

That's not a commentator about a commentary. That's not like a comment about somebody overall, like intelligence or whatever, but it is just kind of an observation, which is like some people really cannot stop thinking, they can't turn it off. And some people kind of don't do it at all. Well, they just done what the dealing with because like we always call it like what is it using your life for like it like so we build a mind that puts us in survival mode.
00:57:14:12 - 00:57:32:08
Unknown
Right? Let's just say put survival mode. You're using your life as an example of survival. So when I say it, I don't think it's you. It could be an echo. I don't think it's actually you. It's it. It's what you programed. It's separate than you, even though it's in you. But it's it. And the reason I call it it is if it's you, you can't really do much with it.
00:57:32:08 - 00:57:49:07
Unknown
But if it's it, you get more control over it. It's an outside thing, but it's on the inside. So if you take a look at like where does that come from? I'll give you, give you an example. Have you ever said to someone, here's what I think. Sure. You should never say that. What happens is it makes someone overthink.
00:57:49:09 - 00:58:07:08
Unknown
This is the only vocabulary we should use as a high performer. Here's what I know. Here's what I say. Here's what I feel. The second you say thank you for someone to the sink mode, someone goes to think mode. We paralyze their ability to actually do anything. So I'll think about this for a second. Just did it. Here's what I know.
00:58:07:10 - 00:58:26:21
Unknown
Is that feel? How does that feel? I'm completely locked in on whatever you're about to say next. Here's what I say. I just made you listen. You can even fill your ears, can't you? Here's what I feel when you say, here's what I think your brain goes tend to think weird. I've removed it from almost my vocabulary. I'll talk about it while we're here.
00:58:26:21 - 00:58:42:17
Unknown
But if you catch me out in the world, if you're in sales or in business or you want to perform. Hey, one of the things I've been thinking about lately, I'd say, here's something I've been saying lately. Here's something I've been feeling lately. Here's something I'm beginning to understand recently. Here's something that I want some clarity on because it's programing.
00:58:42:17 - 00:59:03:15
Unknown
The thinking is the least effective function we can do. Thinking is the least effective function we can do. It's useless. What? What are you doing? Thinking. What is a philosopher then? I mean, I don't know. Have you ever seen a very successful philosopher other than selling books? I mean Seneca, Plato? What did he do? No no no no no no.
00:59:03:17 - 00:59:29:02
Unknown
They didn't think they went out and allowed their mind to create. And they allowed themselves to have an imagination. See, they had an imagination. Most people are rethinking things over and over again. I believe we use the wrong word. Plato was creative. Plato. Aristotle was creative. They were able to articulate with words certain things. They would describe feelings in certain ways.
00:59:29:03 - 00:59:49:02
Unknown
They didn't spend their time thinking. They spend their time imagining and creating. You imagine the show you didn't think, the show you imagined it and you created it. You did not think the show into existence. You created it. You imagined it. And now we are talking, feeling, and listening. Nobody's thinking right now when you learn how to turn off your thinking.
00:59:49:02 - 01:00:13:16
Unknown
Because that's it turns off the thinking. When you turn off the thinking, you can actually produce results. See, those were not. Philosophers are not thinkers. They are huge access to imagination. That is the superpower. That is the creativity. Elon Musk doesn't sit there thinking he's creative. Creative thinking you're not the same things. That's a hot take. It's truth, doesn't it?
01:00:13:18 - 01:00:34:20
Unknown
Let's play with that. It was hard to wrap my head around because I think all these okay, I watch this. Think about this water bottle, okay? I mean, I'm observing it. No, no, you just think about it. I'm creating a render of it in my. You're not thinking there is. No. You're thinking. Thinking is a series of thoughts that are literally running rampant in your brain.
01:00:34:20 - 01:00:52:20
Unknown
We have to limit the amount of thoughts we have, increase the focus. How do we increase focus in someone's life? We limit the amount of thoughts. You ever had a fever? Yeah. You played sports with you ever played sports with a sinus infection? Yeah. How well did you play that day? It was rough, but dude, you were there and you got through and you didn't have any thoughts in your head.
01:00:52:20 - 01:01:14:00
Unknown
I've said some of the best games in my life. Michael Jordan. Best days of my life with 105 fever when I couldn't think in game six. When you can't think, you can be your best. Everyone wants to think differently. Stop thinking. Okay? Hypnosis is the absence of thought, and there's the increase of focus.
01:01:14:02 - 01:01:27:14
Unknown
So I grew up in a very high commitment faith, which I have a lot of love for people that leave or quote unquote, leave the Mormon church, the LDS church, a lot of them are just like, oh, I hated everything about it's the worst. I loved it, I appreciated it, I've kind of grown through it and have found other things that I hold.
01:01:27:15 - 01:01:48:09
Unknown
I cherish what I've learned. Now, the reason I say that is because there's kind of this emergent phenomenon that looks like, oh, god dammit, what is called hang on. It's it's this kind of term that therapists have coined, which is like it's an ID for religious rules. What an interesting concept. Yeah, it's what is it called? Religious OCD.
01:01:48:13 - 01:02:06:13
Unknown
Scrupulously. Never heard of it. It's a it's a hot button. And so I have a lot of love for the faith and the thing that I was raised in. But there is this kind of emergent phenomenon in people specifically that will leave this church. And like other high commitment churches, they call it scrupulously, which is this kind of OCD obsession with following the rules.
01:02:06:13 - 01:02:23:09
Unknown
So when you're in, like in my example, the Mormon church, you do not drink coffee, you do not have sex before marriage. You try and reduce your swearing. You control your thoughts, you don't smoke, you don't drink alcohol. And you get this obsession with following those rules. You go to church on Sunday. You do service like this. You pay your tithing 10%.
01:02:23:09 - 01:02:40:20
Unknown
The rules are very clear and they're like the entire architecture for my life for a lot of people's lives. And then when people either fall short of it, which who doesn't, they start ruminating on it and beating themselves up. And so this term scrupulously kind of emerged. And so people believe the church because they're like, I was so unhealthy, I was religiously OCD.
01:02:40:21 - 01:02:56:17
Unknown
And so what do you think about like, rumination? Why is it that it happens? Why is it? People might ruminate over, you know, their partner's ex-boyfriend or this outcome with a business deal or whatever it is. People run it as a loop in their heads over and over again, and maybe they're looking for another angle, but like, why?
01:02:56:17 - 01:03:15:01
Unknown
Why is it that our minds do that? Well, we memorize it. We're not negative by nature. We remember things that could cause us pain and we don't want them to happen again. So what we do is we try to avoid things that make us uncomfortable. So the reason when you drive by a car accident, you look, it's not your negative person.
01:03:15:01 - 01:03:29:18
Unknown
You're like, memorize all of this. So I don't actually experience this again. So what the church should say if I was going to get people to follow those rules. So this is suggested behaviors. And the better we get at these the better quality of life you have. They've never said that before, but that is how I did it.
01:03:29:19 - 01:03:52:11
Unknown
And you're going to do your best. And then when you fall off, here's how to get back on track. The the challenge with that is it leads to the rumination because they, they feel like they let themselves down or other people down because they're looking at it as a global perspective for their life. So they they look at their past at present in their future, all with this pain, instead of realizing it was a small speck of time.
01:03:52:11 - 01:04:17:11
Unknown
So when we teach this and we show people how to deal with this type of thing, is it is different perspectives. It's looking at things through the the eye perspective, and it's not looking for the global perspective. So if you look at something through, you're going to be 110 years old. And of all the days and minutes of your life, you did one thing for 13 seconds on a Tuesday when you learn how to look at it that way, the rumination goes away.
01:04:17:12 - 01:04:41:07
Unknown
When you look at it as part of your identity, what happens is you don't drink. You don't drink alcohol. You don't drink coffee. Somebody takes you to a place, you take a sip. Oh my God, I'm an addict, I broke it. See, when you say I'm an addict or you say I'm. I broke the rule. You didn't say I did it once.
01:04:41:07 - 01:04:59:02
Unknown
You didn't clarify. Your mind goes, oh, my God, this is horrible. This is such a bad thing. And it puts files in your brain and goes, don't let it happen again. Put it everywhere. Make ourselves block, make ourselves notices. Remember this. Don't don't make it go away. Just blah blah blah. So we do that to stop ourselves from having that experience down the road.
01:04:59:02 - 01:05:18:18
Unknown
So the second someone says I screwed up, that is a global for the rest of your life when you need to say, up until now, I've been very, very good at this for a moment in time. I made a mistake, for I made a choice. In a five minute period. Moving forward, I'm going to be more clear on what I want.
01:05:18:18 - 01:05:36:09
Unknown
But we don't stop and say that. We go, oh my God, I feel bad. Guilt, shame, all that stuff. So what happens is it's a filing issue. We basically file up for the rest of our lives. So why we ruminate is because we don't have control because of the way we filed it away. Like you get in a car accident and you're like, oh my God, cars are dangerous.
01:05:36:14 - 01:06:01:09
Unknown
Your car, their car, every car, cars left and right. You scared the rest of your life. Versus on a Tuesday, June 15th, 1974, in 12 minutes in Smith County, Arkansas. Yes, there was a car accident, but I'm not planning on ever having that day again. So we globalize things without realizing we're doing it. So rumination like depression and anxiety or therapy words, and they're designed to keep you stuck.
01:06:01:10 - 01:06:20:15
Unknown
I don't believe people ruminate. I believe people have not learned how to pick the thoughts they want, when they want them, or how to focus on what they'd rather focus on. If you ask a lot of people, though, the thoughts just like emerge, I know, what do they do with them? These loop them. Oh my God, it's back again.
01:06:20:16 - 01:06:33:19
Unknown
And then I think about it. And what's wrong with me? I think something's wrong with me. How did this thing is wrong with me? Because I keep an eye on a thought. I can't control it. I can't control it. Why can't I control it? Oh my God, something that someone did to us. You know, you'll think about that and give me an example of different ways.
01:06:33:21 - 01:06:50:15
Unknown
You know, I got a I had friends that I had helped out quite a bit and they and this was years ago and they ended up kind of conspiring to put me in a pretty bad spot. And, and it's all conspiring, but it's like it's pretty corroborated at this point. And I was out from a place that I was at.
01:06:50:16 - 01:07:11:20
Unknown
You're what I was. See if I can find a more tasteful way of saying this. How do I say this? I don't want to sink in history, but I want to be able to validate the point. I worked at a place years ago, and I had a group of friends, people who I thought were my friends, and they basically worked with the executive team and kind of came up with a story about one thing I was doing or another.
01:07:11:20 - 01:07:26:12
Unknown
And then that led to me getting fired from this company, and the thing wasn't true. And so I thought about that, and I thought about what if I had done it this way? Or what if I just hadn't said this conversation? Or what if I had not had this friend? Or I'd tried playing my cards differently and it would just sit there and obsess over it because it was like a really impactful moment for my life.
01:07:26:13 - 01:07:51:22
Unknown
It was, again, because they were your friends. Yeah. And they let you down. So the funny thing is, in the determination that they let you down, which would have presupposed that you had the same set of rules and that you're the same person and that you conspired to live a life a certain way, you should feel bad. Alternatively, there's a group of people that allowed you to know finally who they were, which you never looked at it that way.
01:07:52:00 - 01:08:16:00
Unknown
Different language, isn't it? Since a parent would say, they would say that. But we don't learn how to do that ourselves and we don't learn it quickly. Well, Michael, is it really that easy? Well, would you like it to be that easy? See, I if you look at the mind as a series of patterns, there's people that will do things that we align with in other people that will do things we line with for a period of time, and then eventually they'll do what they choose to do.
01:08:16:01 - 01:08:36:06
Unknown
There are people that made choices that were different than yours, and at this point, we're going to go our separate ways. And in the meantime, it shifted your life, correct? Yeah. If you said that and you meant that, you would never have been bothered. But the problem is they let you down. Problem is, let you down. Isn't grammatically make any sense?
01:08:36:07 - 01:09:05:06
Unknown
First, they never picked you up. They never dropped you, let you down. What, are they holding you in the air? Do you know what I'm saying? We use these crazy terms that make no sense, that create hypnosis. They let me down. What the hell's let me down? It's an open loop. Is it solvable? Doesn't feel good. So the second you said there's a group of people that live a certain way, and I live a certain way, and at some point, something must have occurred that they chose to live differently.
01:09:05:06 - 01:09:26:04
Unknown
And they choices that they made. And I made different choices. And we're going to go our separate ways. That's very clear. Correct. But they let me down or they make me mad. There's way too much availability. So we ruminate because we look to solve it. You can't solve let me down. You can't solve depression because it doesn't exist.
01:09:26:06 - 01:09:41:07
Unknown
Depression doesn't exist. Well, no, you just haven't learned how to control your emotions the way you want to control them. Yet we call it depression because you've done it long enough. Because the therapist actually came up with the term or some doctor or something else. I don't know who came up with it. Listen. You walk. You're like, oh my God, what's wrong with me, man?
01:09:41:07 - 01:09:57:21
Unknown
I just, I feel down. What do you mean to feel down? Well, maybe you're depressed. What does that mean? What it means is you just not having a good day, man. Okay, I guess I'm depressed. And then I walk around and say I'm depressed. I'm not saying people aren't depressed. What I'm saying is, the same person also hasn't learned how to use their emotions the way they want to.
01:09:57:22 - 01:10:18:01
Unknown
There's clinically depressed people that are literally have something off in their brain, and then there's about 90% of the people that have actually copying out, and they actually haven't learned how to use their minds the way they need to use them. And that's the sad thing, because think about it. I mean, how many classes did you take up on how to deal with how to deal with a difficult conversation with somebody?
01:10:18:01 - 01:10:32:14
Unknown
I love 101. How many times you take the class? Approximately zero. I remember in school, I mean, did anyone teach you how to be successful? Hell no. Didn't want to teach you like you can be anybody you want to be. Oh, your first day of kindergarten. Did they walk you in and say, hey, what kind of life do you want?
01:10:32:15 - 01:10:55:20
Unknown
No. They told you to be. And they told you how to act. They told you to be right. And then what happened was they tell you who to be. And then instantaneously, within a few years, they start saying, tomorrow there's a test and you go to the test. And nobody ever taught you to memorize. Nobody ever taught you to take a test or to deal with the pressure in a quiet room, and all by yourself, alone with your own voice and memorizing something you never memorize.
01:10:55:20 - 01:11:11:01
Unknown
And then we're judged in our confidence. All gets built on how well we take tests and we're told who's smart and who's not, based on somebody they never taught us how to do right. But imagine we would have learned, see, if they really wanted us to learn, test, learn how to be good at tests, we would have taken a urine memorization.
01:11:11:03 - 01:11:23:02
Unknown
We would have taken a year on how to use our minds, how to do well in a quiet room. Navy Seals would have been taught this way. They're taught this way. That's why they're really good at memorizing things. They didn't teach us how to memorize. They just wanted to figure out who's good and who wasn't. And they told us who was and was.
01:11:23:02 - 01:11:33:09
Unknown
And we built our confidence, self-esteem, and created all kinds of insecurities out of actually not teaching us what it is we needed to know. No wonder people are insecure. Nobody actually taught them how to live, right?
01:11:33:11 - 01:12:00:04
Unknown
So going back to the topic of how our words define things, one I've learned recently, I'd love for you to elaborate on this is if I describe something and I go, man, that made me angry in a time sense in like an English linguistic sense, I am now describing myself, my identity as angry. And so it's almost like I am just the anger is an elephant and I'm strapped to it, and I got no say in the whole dang thing, right?
01:12:00:05 - 01:12:21:02
Unknown
Whereas if I say I'm experiencing the feeling of anger now, I'm emotionally separating myself from the feeling of anger. And then if I were to go a step further and say, up until now or in the past, I was feeling the feeling of anger I was experiencing the feeling of anger. It feels like this, like obnoxious way to try and just like, I don't know, come off as like holier than thou.
01:12:21:02 - 01:12:38:14
Unknown
But it does work. And the more I do it. And by the way, I don't do this perfectly, like at all. And my wife and I try and catch each other on this. We're like, hey, are you are you angry or are you experiencing the feeling of anger? Or up until this moment, where are you feeling the feeling of anger and it feels obnoxious to like, break, check somebody else and do that, or you shouldn't break like anybody, okay?
01:12:38:15 - 01:12:50:10
Unknown
We shouldn't be coaching anybody at all in the world unless they paid you money. Stop coaching people well, but we both like to each other. Yes, but if you're on a Tuesday afternoon and you're sitting there at a coffee shop and you start doing this, the guy next to you, you're an asshole. Do you know what I'm saying?
01:12:50:12 - 01:13:07:10
Unknown
Like, like like unless they're paying you a hundred grand or 50 grand or 30 grand. Keep your mouth shut. Yeah. Inspire them, empower them. But don't go coach them. It's a choice. I mean, it's keep going. I'm hearing what I just. I know how it works. I don't think I'm very good at explaining why you're doing this, that it does work, which is like you're emotional.
01:13:07:11 - 01:13:27:23
Unknown
You're verbally, linguistically separating yourself from the emotion. It's no longer my identity. It's just something that in the past, now I'm putting it in past tense. It's because the unconscious mind responds to that sort of coaching, right? That direction. So let's just let's pretend there is a eager, hound style person like, you know, like a like a basset hound or like a bloodhound.
01:13:27:23 - 01:13:40:03
Unknown
They'll just go until they die, like, you know, bloodhounds will, like, keep on going. Do you know the story? Like they will go and serve you until they just physically fall over and die. Like they will look for the thing. Like when they give them the scent, they will go and go and go and go and go and go.
01:13:40:03 - 01:13:56:00
Unknown
If you don't tell them to stop, they will go until they run out of food and die. That's how good a bloodhound is. So you got like a bloodhound in your mind. And when you say, I'm angry and let's say you said nothing else for the rest of your life, your mind is like, okay, is angry. Let's start at day one.
01:13:56:00 - 01:14:13:18
Unknown
And I want to spray every file of every memory and every thought I ever had and reminded me is angry because he just said he's angry. So the second you say I'm angry, we start spraying our past or present or future to remind us we're angry because that's we told herself. But let's say three seconds later you said, but I love to drink.
01:14:13:19 - 01:14:28:22
Unknown
Then you go back and go, okay, he loves to drink. Now the mind gets a little confused. And then eventually, when I'm angry, I like to drink. And then we put those things together and our mind gets confused. So the confused mind does know what to do it. You can't say it doesn't know what. It doesn't know what to do.
01:14:28:22 - 01:14:51:01
Unknown
It's just actually confused at that moment. So when you make a statement says up until now, the mind goes, wait, I better pay attention to this because we're about to have a new thought. We're about to have a new idea. When you say, up until now, we get fresh. When you say I am, it's permanent. And that. So like a lot of people listening, well, it was really that easy.
01:14:51:02 - 01:15:02:06
Unknown
Why don't I know this? I get it, man. I get so different than you teaching people how to do marketing. Or you teach people how to do videos. I mean, you could tell me, dude, I've had so many people tell me just blue in the face, things that are a great idea that I should do. And I just.
01:15:02:07 - 01:15:21:23
Unknown
Oh yeah. And I, and I do that because we'd have to admit we're wrong or we don't know what we're doing. So when you shift these things, it will change you. It's just what life do you want? Are we here to again? I'll bring up Chase again. Or are we here to satisfy the masses? Are we confident enough to be who we're capable of being?
01:15:22:00 - 01:15:42:10
Unknown
The reason less than 3% of the world has the things they want, the life they want, the relationships they want is less than 3%, folks. I mean, less than 1% of the people make the money they want the relationship. It's so tiny because they care. So much of people think because these dumb ass things, they are absolutely obsessed with being on the team and they're insecure.
01:15:42:10 - 01:16:05:19
Unknown
And if you want to be controlled by other people, those are the three things point blank. Speaking of Chase Hughes and Control and the phone, these things are designed to control us. There's never been an operation at this scale that I've ever seen. So crazy people's attention spans arm gone. It's crazy. They're gone and I've never seen anything like it.
01:16:05:19 - 01:16:25:10
Unknown
I really identify, and this is probably a bad label, but it feels like an honest thing to say, which is like, I identify as being addicted to my phone. You are? Yeah. Based on the word addiction. Well, actually, I don't know if you're addicted, but, I mean, I bought websites device diet. I won't take the. I'm going to have so many URL.
01:16:25:14 - 01:16:41:08

I like how you and Joe Polish I have. I have device diet com you know vice addiction. Com I own them all because one day I'll do anything with them. But I don't know if we're addicted as much as it's build a pattern. I was in my car driving reset. Like, where does all my time go? Like dude I got great.
01:16:41:08 - 01:16:57:03
Unknown
Like, where's my time? And I'm like, this thing. Yeah, I'm losing an hour or two a day without realizing it. Three minutes here. Three minutes. They're only an hour or two. You're on the good side. No, I'm just saying, like, I'm looking like this and I'm doing this, and I'm sitting next to a lady on a plane. I'm a judgmental, and she's like 60 year old woman.
01:16:57:03 - 01:17:19:13
Unknown
I'm sitting there in first class and she's scrolling Instagram like, what for? What do we really care what these people are wearing and doing? Is that really like, like important? I mean, and that's where the thoughts come in. Like you, you really need more clarity of focus than we need anything else. So it's nuts, man. I it doesn't make it easier on people.
01:17:19:13 - 01:17:51:06
Unknown
It definitely makes it more challenging. Before reels really took off Instagram Reels, the frontier of this whole thing was TikTok. I remember in like 2018, I was working with this creator named Tanner Fox. He's like 10 million subscribers. I lived in his house. It was a lot of fun. This company called musically did a brand deal with us, and TikTok eventually bought musically, or I think ByteDance bought musically, rebranded to his TikTok, but musically give us this thing at the time, musically, it was just like what TikTok v1 was, which is, you know, do this dance to this song.
01:17:51:07 - 01:18:11:12
Unknown
I remember this, that was the whole thing. And then it didn't have this formulaic algorithm where it would just keep you in this kind of endless loop of doom scrolling. It kind of evolved into that, which is it's a Chinese product, it's Chinese company, Chinese algorithm, and it works. And basically it's almost like I wonder if like Covid was meant to, Covid had maybe many multifaceted purposes and outcomes.
01:18:11:12 - 01:18:28:19
Unknown
One was to test the complicity and the response of the populace. Maybe it was really just everything that they said, but I mean, there was a lot of when people came out of Covid, everybody was addicted to their phones, everybody was addicted to doom scrolling. And then Instagram Reels kind of figured it out, attenuated their algorithm. So now it's like you have TikTok and Instagram Reels is like kind of just as good.
01:18:28:20 - 01:18:45:16
Unknown
It's like, what is the overarching theme to all of this? It is that they want your attention. Yes. And I will be the first to say it because I have built my business, I built my show. I felt Build Mr. Beast Show on the premise of holding people's attention for as long as possible. So it's like, am I a time thief?
01:18:45:17 - 01:18:59:14
Unknown
It is a certain industry of business. You can do that. So one of the comments is like, you're just a timer is an interesting term. I never heard of that before. I had neither, and I was like, shout out to time, someone's going to grab the URL by the time this episode airs. But I thought it was so funny.
01:18:59:14 - 01:19:15:03
Unknown
And it's like, what is the through line? It's like there was so much demand for holding people's attention, and I feel that when I wake up, I am now actively fighting for the first ten minutes of my morning to not check my phone. And that's hard when you run a business, when I've got an amazing team and I've got clients.
01:19:15:03 - 01:19:33:08
Unknown
So I try my hardest and I literally it's like, it's like nicotine. I'm like, how long can I go in my morning before I look at my phone, which is a compulsion I can't even, like, rationalize? It wasn't like this in 2015. No, no. It's changed. I mean, I'm on series on 2020, please. Yes. Oh, that's what this show is for.
01:19:33:08 - 01:19:59:21
Unknown
You get into those theories. So not theory, but this is crazy up until 2020. Every sermon and seminar were maybe recorded by like the company itself. After 2020, every event from every Joel Osteen event, Tony Robbins, every sermon, everything went up on zoom. Everything wound up on the server, every conversation, every large meeting, every influential person just went up on zoom.
01:19:59:21 - 01:20:20:10
Unknown
People that would refuse to record things like myself that would have events that never had them. I went up on zoom. Every single conversation that everybody had is now in zoom or on whatever platform they were on. Never had prior, ever never existed. It was on hard drives. It was in people's companies. It became public. I want you to think about that for a second.
01:20:20:12 - 01:20:30:14
Unknown
Every conversation of the most powerful people of speakers and communicators in the world just got categorized.
01:20:30:16 - 01:20:54:18
Unknown
So zoom is the epicenter of the conspiracy theory? No, I'm just saying it went from it went from something you would go to, to every single conversation that abound around collaboration and people coming together and people, communities of people coming together all just got recorded. How do we get them there? How did we do this? How did we get them there?
01:20:54:18 - 01:21:12:09
Unknown
You see them going with this? So it's a way to understand, like how do you attract people? How do you keep people? How do you hold their attention? All of it got put together something. Zoom is an enemy. I'm just saying they want to put access to all of this information. So the thing with the phone, I mean, those people, I mean, you can decide, you can opt in or opt out of that stuff.
01:21:12:09 - 01:21:26:22
Unknown
I'm just going to tell you, I'm pretty sure Elon Musk us in this phone all day. Maybe it's maybe it's not I don't know, I'm just saying he does tweet quite a bit. What's that. He tweets quite a bit. Maybe does maybe he doesn't I don't know. Or maybe his team does it. Yeah. Have you seen him do it.
01:21:27:00 - 01:21:35:23
Unknown
Not personally have it either. And I don't run my account and people run it for me. But the man, they swear they talked to me that day.
01:21:36:01 - 01:21:57:20
Unknown
So when I say this 2020, it got us all home. It got people doing what they were doing. It divided people. It made a major impact on people's lives, man. It divided people. It disconnected people. And when human beings can't get together on other people and they can't congregate and be together and produce legitimate oxytocin and hugs, you can't get all that off of it.
01:21:57:21 - 01:22:12:18
Unknown
Like, like, this is great to record on video, but you and I are physically in a room together. You and I are connected. They're with us. Where to go? And that's the difference. It's not saying anything negative that that they're there, but you can't. It's like A19 hundred number. When I was a kid, you didn't even know what that is.
01:22:12:19 - 01:22:33:01
Unknown
You would call A19 hundred number and be like, hey, sexy, what's going on? Like, this person would talk to you as this lady in the back room, she's describing herself in this bikini, and she's a cheeseburger. Yeah. You know, or whatever she's doing. Right. And she's probably smoking a cigarette in the background. But the point is, it was fake and you kind of knew what you were getting into.
01:22:33:01 - 01:22:44:23
Unknown
But man, when they said it correctly, it sounded good. So that's where where the challenge comes in. I mean, the phones are it's not that we got to stop calling them phones. Crack pipes.
01:22:45:01 - 01:23:01:19
Unknown
Crack pipe. It's not a phone. The least function I use as a phone and a phone. Why we call it a phone? That's the bullshit right there. It's not a phone, is it? It has the functionality. But man, it is so much more than that. Is that a phone? It's closer to a crack pipe. It's closer to a heroin needle.
01:23:01:23 - 01:23:16:19
Unknown
It's addictive, isn't it? So this is your addiction box. So when I was in direct sales, which you did have a YouTube on, and I was in sales at a young age, you did network marketing? No, I stayed out. I saw that for what it was. One of the first things they did is till you get away from your friends that are no good and get away from TV.
01:23:16:19 - 01:23:24:22
Unknown
So I unplugged TV was so easy to plug TV, you just put this in your pocket. So when I am plugged TV, my life got better.
01:23:25:00 - 01:23:46:11
Unknown
You could turn these things off. It's not complicated. It's one phone call. Hello, Verizon. How are you? Good. But what if. What if people can't get Ahold of me? How old are you? 34. Where were you? September 11th, 2001. I was at a camp for family camp H-e-b in Texas. Awesome. Did you have a cell phone? No. Did you have a phone?
01:23:46:15 - 01:24:08:05
Unknown
Did somebody tell you it happened? Someone told me. Yeah, yeah. So someone's going to tell you. So anything bad enough, someone's going to tell you. Do you understand that? Right? Yeah, but we are so concerned. If someone needs to get hold of you. Get hold of you. So it presumes that, like, just you don't need to be in touch with somebody unless there's just extraordinarily bad news for good pragmatic use cases or good use.
01:24:08:11 - 01:24:25:06
Unknown
Do you don't need it. It isn't necessary, but most people are worried. What if something happens? Yep. Pretty sure they can find you. Correct. You could change the rules. Hey, wife. Hey, husband. I'm going to be at the store. And if you're actually at the store working that day, they'll come find you. They'll call the store phone number.
01:24:25:09 - 01:24:42:00
Unknown
So I'm just saying a general. You don't have to have it. We choose to. We make a bunch of stories why we need it. And we want to be in the tribe. What is a conspiracy theory that you honestly believe in? Not just in, like, a philosophical. It's like a really like a global, big scale thing. I mean, you know, a lot of powerful people.
01:24:42:01 - 01:24:50:11
Unknown
What is something that you've come across when you went? I actually think that that may be the case, and that's unsettling. Give me an example of.
01:24:50:13 - 01:24:55:21
Unknown
To the depth of this. Elections are rigged.
01:24:55:23 - 01:25:13:11
Unknown
The elites are a bunch of cannibals are very similar to the way they were in high school. A lot of promises, a lot of things. I think that there's too much at stake. I mean, I also don't think professional sports or are not I mean, there's so much money at stake. Would you really, if you own the sports league?
01:25:13:15 - 01:25:36:01
Unknown
I listen, I've met enough people that said they're entertainment leagues, okay. And it's listed as entertainment. When you look at the how the corporations are set up their entertainment companies. I'm not saying that it's rigged per se, but they pretty much know who they want to win. But here's how you change it. If we put up some news articles about certain players and we worry about stuff, we can get in their head, correct?
01:25:36:03 - 01:25:52:07
Unknown
Sure. Yeah. You don't have to. Right off the bat, you know, pay off the ref. But if I want to sway a game, I could have put some news articles about out somebody I can call their hotel room, wake them up in the middle of the night. I can get it where they can't sleep. I can make their doctor not be busy.
01:25:52:11 - 01:26:12:17
Unknown
There's a lot of things we could do. I'm just saying they they know who they want to win because there's money at stake in Vegas. The money at stake on jerseys. There's also what people don't realize about professional sports. Is that where they hold the event, the real estate changes. So like if real estate if if Scottsdale has or Phoenix has a Super Bowl, dude, our market goes up.
01:26:12:23 - 01:26:28:23
Unknown
Dude, this place is cool. I'll buy a house here. I'm gonna open a business here. There's gazillions of dollars at stake here. We're just gonna let the best team land. Come on. It doesn't exactly work that way. So I think people, the powers that be, whether it's conspiracy or just people that want to alter the way things are, make it work.
01:26:28:23 - 01:26:48:00
Unknown
When it comes to elections, I don't really think that any one human can make a big difference. I do believe in policy. I think politics is dumb. Meaning like the politics is ridiculous. I think policy matters. The things, my policies, the things I believe are matter. But politics is all arguing about it. Dude, no one's ever converted anybody to switch.
01:26:48:02 - 01:27:05:18
Unknown
Ever. Has anyone complained online and converted somebody? Probably not very often. Very rare. Right. So it's just a bunch of ways, you and I, to complain and not like each other so they can hold all the power over us. I do believe that's a conspiracy. I do believe getting us divided versus together is the problem, because if they actually wanted to get us together, we could.
01:27:05:20 - 01:27:23:21
Unknown
I do believe the education system is designed, whether consciously or unconsciously, to not develop highly effective people. I do believe that certain people get through the system well. So I've had all kinds of things. I mean, I'm listen, man, I'm the guy that read, I watched Loose Change back in the days night guys, to all of those crazy things.
01:27:23:21 - 01:27:52:08
Unknown
I'm a firm believer that human potential has been in human possibility is actively not being highlighted. How we can be great and and we can have the things we want for the gain of people. If enough people understood how simple it would be to get the things they wanted in a period of time, first class would be filled, and I do believe then private airports wouldn't be private anymore.
01:27:52:08 - 01:28:16:03
Unknown
And I do believe Ferrari would be a Buick. And so it just they can't have that. So we just don't go out of our way to teach success to people, to the average person. Sure. Because in the limiting of the supply. Yeah. The lack of abundance in the world is abundant. They just don't teach abundance. Do you believe in a spiritual world?
01:28:16:04 - 01:28:33:09
Unknown
Yeah, of course, because a lot of all connected well, so much of that is kind of co-opted by the theme of religion. And then that allows us to just kind of if you're not a religious person, you don't belong to a church. You can just like divorce yourself from that to smear it over there. Unless you, I don't know, do psychedelics or believe that your house is haunted?
01:28:33:10 - 01:28:52:00
Unknown
There is a world, though, that I did have a haunted house. You had a haunted house? What do you mean? I mean, I just want to bring it up. It was nuts. Tell me. I mean, this is. Just got to hear this, man. This is nuts. We literally had a house where we would hear things. Things would move, and we're like, my wife and I were like, that's weird.
01:28:52:00 - 01:29:11:01
Unknown
And then we even called in a lady to to, like, get rid of the spirit or whatever. I married the preacher's kid. I mean, we were not believing in this stuff. We brought up this crazy, this lady to come remove this thing, and she came in. The door starts slam, and she brings sage in. I would go upstairs in the middle of the summer.
01:29:11:01 - 01:29:31:02
Unknown
It would be like 42 degrees upstairs in Arizona. My house. There'd be water spots, places, all that stuff. And this lady came in and said, and I don't know if it's haunted like ghosts or like, you get so paranoid. We create these things. But it was it was nutty. It was it was like absolutely crazy. And we eventually we eventually moved out.
01:29:31:02 - 01:29:50:14
Unknown
But you would like we would hear things like, I didn't realize until Tamayo was born, we would hear noises in the upstairs, like, because I was up late and then we'd figure out what was going on. I would go upstairs and my older daughter, she's sleeping. Does that make sense? I'm like, I hear stuff and we hear some of the baby monitor one way baby monitor hear people talking.
01:29:50:15 - 01:30:04:21
Unknown
It was weird. We'd find things, places. Then you get paranoid on top of it all. So it was. It was crazy. It was brought in. This lady. She got rid of it. And then she tells this whole story that we were on a burial ground. And how there were a bunch of people, like, stuck in a purgatory that didn't want to move on.
01:30:04:21 - 01:30:26:08
Unknown
Well, this all happened. We moved out of that place so quickly, I moved into a new house at the time that didn't even have finished countertops, just to get the hell out of there. So what we did in the new house and my new building under every single floorboard, every wall, every piece of drywall in our building, we brought our mastermind over and we put Bible phrases.
01:30:26:08 - 01:30:52:02
Unknown
We put quotes spray painted like awesome things in my building, which got such great energy under every single piece of carpet. Every single piece of wood behind every piece of drywall is positive energy and sage and all that kind of stuff. No kidding. Yeah, it was nuts, dude. It was crazy. I thought I was nuts, and then I told my wife, and then we both thought we were nuts.
01:30:52:04 - 01:31:09:06
Unknown
There's this thesis that I don't know how we just got there. I wanted to know, I love it. Well, so Tucker talks about this and JD Vance just went on. Joe Rogan and Joe kind of pressed him on the alien conversation. And I believe in aliens, I do too. Yeah, but I don't think not like little green men.
01:31:09:07 - 01:31:22:22
Unknown
Well, that potentially is a species. There's at least four that has been kind of more or less documented as far as you're willing to like open and be open to that. There's the grays, there's little green men and they call them. I think they are. There are really green men. I didn't know I was just joking. Yeah, well, that's the point.
01:31:22:23 - 01:31:50:12
Unknown
It's misinformation. It's made to make you question your own sanity around it. Because if that was exactly what it was, you would just dismiss it on its face because it's been characterized in cartoons so much. But there's the Nordic, I think, like the Norse ones, like kind of the Viking looking ones. And there's a fourth like the reptilians is one, and then there's one that are like, like bugs, like all of these have some sort of like data corroboration, whether it be remote viewers or firsthand accounts, secondhand accounts.
01:31:50:14 - 01:32:15:03
Unknown
So cool. Yeah, I have had some Edgar Casey. I've had some unbelievable experiences personally with remote viewing. I found my cat from Austria doing remote viewing. I, I can tell you the story if you want. So. So William and I, we backpack through Europe and we were we were taking the thesis of upgrade, which is that any human can force evolve themselves if they're producing the right kind of like framework to look at.
01:32:15:04 - 01:32:32:01
Unknown
So it can't be an American thing. It can't just be an English thing. So we're like, let's go all over Europe and test this. I'll film it. We're probably five days into this trip. We started, I think, in England. We went to France, now we're in Austria. I'd asked my brother, who's editing this video. I had asked him to watch my cat while I was gone and my cat is my bud.
01:32:32:01 - 01:32:45:22
Unknown
I found her at the MrBeast film studio. That is my dude, you know? And so I'm like, you've got to protect this cat at all costs. Which is absurd to people that don't like cats. I don't care. This was my thing. And I was like, all you got to do is just protect my cat, stay in my house, keep everything fine.
01:32:45:22 - 01:33:04:08
Unknown
You can drive my Tesla, whatever. We're there for, like five days. And I text him and I was like, hey, how's my cat doing? You know? And he goes, well, I kind of haven't seen her in a day and a half, which is normal for cats. To some degree. Yes. Especially when someone's at the house that is not you.
01:33:04:09 - 01:33:19:07
Unknown
He knew he accidentally left the door open. That's different. That was different. And so it's going to sound obnoxious. But me and three other entrepreneurs, we were in Utah, we were single and were like, you know, be fun. What if we got this, like, obnoxiously oversize house together and then just, like, ran our businesses out of it? So we did.
01:33:19:08 - 01:33:35:07
Unknown
We got this 80 600 square foot house, had like a two story library, giant footprint, two basements. So my cat loved it. But she got out and we were on acres of forest. Right. And so he texted me and he's like, yeah, I don't know. I haven't seen her in a day and a half. I have a meltdown because I'm like, there was nothing more important to me than this cat.
01:33:35:08 - 01:33:49:08
Unknown
And I was like, okay, well, I pull my phone out and I started booking a flight to go home because I'm not going to lose this thing. It's just my buddy William is like, dude, we have two more. We haven't even got to Amsterdam yet. Like, you're gonna you're going to bail right now. And he goes, no, no, no, no, no, here's what you're going to do.
01:33:49:08 - 01:34:05:20
Unknown
You're going to sit down, we're going to find your cat. And I was like, really? In Vienna? And he goes, yes. Sit down. As we sit down. He's the best. Do we sit down? We're in this this Austrian steakhouse. He gets me into a calm place, and then he starts working me into a trance, which he's really good at.
01:34:05:22 - 01:34:24:06
Unknown
And so I go, okay, great. So it was about five, ten minutes of kind of this cooldown of getting me into a meditative state, meditative trance. And he's using David Moorhouse protocols, and he starts to guide me through the process of imagining where my cat could be. And he goes, when you're emotionally connected to something disproportionately, you have a tighter bond to them.
01:34:24:06 - 01:34:36:20
Unknown
Then say, the guy Burger King. And so you're going to get more signal. And if you believe in kind of a quantum field that we're all connected and you can take mushrooms and kind of tap into that, just saying, if you believe in that sort of thing, you can pull more data, the more attention you get it. And so he goes.
01:34:36:20 - 01:34:51:07
Unknown
The more you index on that, the more likely you're going to get information to try that. So in this state, I start imagining and looking for any kind of signal, any kind of response. And I'm there for about five minutes. And he has a very specific thing that he's kind of gotten me kind of this mantra, these things that I repeat.
01:34:51:09 - 01:35:05:10
Unknown
And then in my mind's eye, I start to kind of get this hazy image. And if anyone's ever seen revenge of the Sith, Star Wars, you picture like when Padmé is in labor giving birth and Anakin consents it. And it's kind of this hazy picture is kind of coming in and out. It's like vignette it it's kind of it's crappy.
01:35:05:10 - 01:35:22:11
Unknown
It's hard to see. But you get you get the sense of it. And so I'm deep in this trance and I start going, okay, Evie, where are you? And I start seeing sunlight come through leaves and trees. And I'm like, okay, I don't know if I'm in making this up, I don't know, but I have trees in my backyard, like hundreds of them, and I'm right on the lake.
01:35:22:11 - 01:35:39:03
Unknown
So I'm like, okay, my backyard. Sure makes sense. You got out. Then the image starts to refine. The light coming through the leaves starts becoming slats as if sunlight was coming through the deck. Why this obnoxious oversize deck in the back of our house? And it was like, oh, she's under my deck. Well, that's not possible. I blocked off all the entrances before I left.
01:35:39:03 - 01:35:57:23
Unknown
I like, reinforced it. That's not possible. But then it starts. The sunlight coming through the deck slots changes and then it gets cold. And now I'm feeling cold dirt. I'm tasting and smelling the smell of dirt and concrete. And I'm like, under, under the house was like the only thing that I could physically kind of like approximate and guess.
01:35:58:00 - 01:36:15:21
Unknown
So I call my brother when I get out of this thing and I go, I think she's under the house. And he's like, good for you. And I was like, no, no, really, try this. Go look, can you check the deck? There's like a couple of entrances, but I closed all of them off and he goes outside and he goes, oh, dude, we had a storm.
01:36:16:01 - 01:36:30:02
Unknown
The entrance is wide open. And I was like, no shit. Okay, crawl under there, see if you can see anything. And we had a, you know, pretty tight entrance. And so we sitting there was like, maybe she's in there. I don't really know. So I call critter control at this point. It's like four in the morning in Austria.
01:36:30:03 - 01:36:47:01
Unknown
This has been an ongoing thing. Like all day critter control comes out to the house. Army crawls underneath a thing. The footprint is like the size of the house is just big open space. He crawls, crawls, crawls. He's getting in there, working around there. She was, of course, she was literally there, like concrete up against the concrete, up against the dirt.
01:36:47:02 - 01:37:04:09

Now people hear this and go, oh, whatever, it's your mind's eye. You're imagining it. But if you're open to the idea, which is kind of the whole thesis of my show, which is that there are things outside of your bubble, of things, you know, and they're there whether you're aware of it or not. They work really, really good for people that use them, and they still work really good for people to use them, even if you don't use them.
01:37:04:14 - 01:37:22:02
Unknown
This is how I mean, we were able to get forward information on the Russian submarine program in the 80s because of a remote viewing unit by the CIA or Dia. Dia can't remember which one it was, but we were able to. Remote viewing is like a very real thing, and anyone that doesn't hold space for it. Like, I get it.
01:37:22:02 - 01:37:46:00
Unknown
I freaking get it because it sounds sounds the name sounds crazy. Yeah, really. I mean, really, what it is, is getting really in tune with something and being allowing yourself to connect. That's it. But when you call it remote viewing, it sounds complicated and it sounds like this hard thing you need to learn. And they might have done that on purpose.
01:37:46:02 - 01:38:03:18
Unknown
Coordinate remote viewing is also really insane. That's more complicated sounding. Yeah, yeah. And we've gone through extensive like one training was $160,000. My wife and I were able to sit in it for four days. We were helping produce the event, so we got to be bonus into it. We didn't pay that, but we were able to understand that you, at a very high level, have to hold space.
01:38:03:18 - 01:38:25:14
Unknown
That Stanford Research Institute got $150 million grant from the federal government, I think from CIA, because they found out that the Chinese and the Russians took this very seriously and were potentially already using it against us in the 70s and in the 80s. So Stanford research was 50,000,150 million. So they went to validate whether or not this was possible.
01:38:25:15 - 01:38:50:05
Unknown
Can you really in a random ass building, you know, and Langley go and see something in Sochi, Russia. And so they were able to test it over and over and over again, come up with a prescriptive formula to actually go. Yes, it's a repeatable process depending on the remote viewer. It's got like a 60 to 70% accuracy rating, which is kind of why, you know, it's not something maybe that's pontificating all the time, but they were able to identify cartel members.
01:38:50:05 - 01:39:15:12
Unknown
They were able to identify how bombs on planes were sourced and made, who put them on there. There's some insane stories when you really start cracking into it, and all of it points to, we are so much more capable as a species then we have allowed ourselves to believe and what we've been told. And so the second you cut out all of that, all of those inputs that tell you you're like this dude, you're a bug on planet Earth, the powers that be will never let you be.
01:39:15:14 - 01:39:36:21
Unknown
If you remove all that shit, you might find out that you're destined for greatness, not because of who your mom was, or because of the lack of crimes or problems or friendships you burned. Just because innately, you as a as a as a homosapien, a species with a brain, you might be able to do unbelievable things. The only limit is you.
01:39:36:23 - 01:39:58:02
Unknown
And this is my life. You're speaking my lingo, my language. I mean, we are so powerful. Every single one of us. The things we can do. No matter what direction you decide to take this, it's a possibility. Anybody listening at this point, they're looking for something. I mean, it's it's a it's a big question is that are you going to allow yourself to use the power?
01:39:58:06 - 01:40:24:11
Unknown
Have you seen that show the institute that came out? No. It's crazy. They find these kids that are like geniuses and they they steal them and they live somewhere, and then they can create a whole world that they just. It's nuts. But you see this? No, but I said that theory in my Justin process, and then they get them all together and they tie them together, and they basically make them be able to use their brainpower to actually change and alter things in the world.
01:40:24:12 - 01:40:44:20
Unknown
There's another crazy movie, Bergmann, Berg. Berg. It was called Harrison Bergeron. Bergeron okay, so Harrison Bergeron, it is a first of all, I'll send you a copy of this. You can't find it on anywhere. I found it on YouTube like one of those Russian servers. You know what I'm saying? I shouldn't say Russian server out loud, but I found I found it online.
01:40:44:20 - 01:41:04:20
Unknown
And what was interesting about it is the movie is all about this is what's crazy. It was filmed in part of the 90s. They pulled this guy out of his life and then they move him. You wouldn't believe it. To this little place where all the smartest people live, and they convince an entire population of people that being average is good.
01:41:04:20 - 01:41:23:21
Unknown
And then above average people need to be removed. And it's not good. There's no Michael Jordan's, there's no Mike Tyson's, there's nothing that's not good. We need everyone to be the same and everyone will be equal. And the coolest part about it in the thing, and I'm not saying it's cool making a joke right now is they're like, hey, let's go pick who's going to be the president of the United States, grab a phone book, pick a random number, and they call the person up.
01:41:23:21 - 01:41:47:15
Unknown
They let them know that they're going to be the president or the governor or whatever it's going to be in the entire world they live in is a movie and studio and a news casting thing. It's the most powerful company in the world is the media in the news. So the whole thing is about TVs and this one room that controls everybody's mind, which controls the TVs, the things that they watch and their brains are designed.
01:41:47:15 - 01:42:03:03
Unknown
If they get too much ambition, they're toned down and they're not allowed to have a lot of ambition. So it is fascinating. You should watch this. It is you guys. I mean, you're flying. I'll give it to you. Watch it. You're going to be like everything that we've been through and things that you believe it will literally have spoken.
01:42:03:03 - 01:42:21:10
Unknown
It's from the book he wrote, and I never read the book, but it's it was one of those fascinating things over. And it's funny that it's easy for me to actually believe that we're going to we're going to shift perspective because I know how powerful the work for 2020 hit. I'm like, okay, there's like what's really happening. And then there's like what they're doing.
01:42:21:11 - 01:42:37:08
Unknown
The two things can't happen at once. There's some real stuff and then like how they play it and I'm like, okay, I teach this stuff. I understand how this works. I understand exactly what they're doing, get people to not congregate, get them or not around each other. They get them scared of each other, whatever. And then we have people in fear, and people in fear are the people as easiest to control.
01:42:37:10 - 01:43:00:18
Unknown
And it works. I mean, the depth of how some people, some people got Pfizer tattoos because when the conversation shifted from huddle in place, we're all going to die to we have a solution. It is a pharmaceutical intervention, untested, rolled out from the masses. We may federally mandated, go ahead and do it. People were like, yeah, I'm not so sure about that.
01:43:01:00 - 01:43:16:04
Unknown
You can't federally mandate a medical intervention for me. I'm going to pause. I would like a little more research. That was me. It's probably you. And then there were people that looked at this as the solution to the chaos, or looked at it as those people that, like, watch Fox News or whatever the characterization of it is, like those people are resisting it.
01:43:16:04 - 01:43:40:04
Unknown
Therefore, I must swing in the opposite direction to show my conviction, which both are dangerous. Yeah, that's fair. It really is to be totally fair. Like both sides of these things have a great points and both sides of them have insane ideas. We're going to talk about both sides of the aisle, whatever. But it's like to have somebody go as far as like, I'm going to genuflect my values here by getting a pharmaceutical companies logo as a tattoo.
01:43:40:04 - 01:43:57:09
Unknown
I was like, this Psyop is good. This is really it was good. Yeah, that's impressive. And people are up. They think it's like this like really well thought out thing. Sometimes it's like, this thing's working. Let's just double down on it. It's not like sometimes some of the silliest little thing in the world is like, I didn't really expect that to work.
01:43:57:09 - 01:44:13:00
Unknown
It's working. Let's just keep doing it. PsyOps have been in play ever since there's been war and isn't like, oh, there's these frequencies that'll come out of the TV, which is a thing. It's the patent for the original TV. It is a mind control device. If you look at the patent for the television, I think in the 1940s and 50s, it is.
01:44:13:01 - 01:44:33:21
Unknown
Yeah. It's to get you into a different brainwave state so that you were more susceptible to advertisements. You have a higher. Your filters are like, I'm rejecting that your walls are down. But if people understand that leaflets were dropped all throughout all conflicts, throughout all wars, down to one, it's over. Give up. Come out to this pot at this day, at this time, with your rifle held up, we're going to meet you there.
01:44:33:22 - 01:44:54:12
Unknown
PsyOps are just like a part. It's a psychological operation. And every government, every country, every branch of every armed forces has a psychological. My cousin works at one. I'm just going to say my cousin literally works on the online psyops division. I can't say which branch, but it's just like he gets a pay stub for doing this and people are like, oh, that's crazy.
01:44:54:12 - 01:45:10:14
Unknown
I'm like, I'm sorry, it's real. And that sounds crazy to you. But sometimes crazy things are real. I mean, a lot of times crazy things are real. A lot of times, I mean, think about it. I mean, I, I'm a firm believer that everything we believe isn't true. And that's crazy thing. I believe all beliefs are lies. I believe everything we believe isn't true.
01:45:10:16 - 01:45:24:11
Unknown
That's some crazy thought. I'm gonna go there with us. Okay. What were you supposed to do with that? Well, here's what you do with that. Nothing's true. What's your name? Brady. Not true. Yes it is. No. You were a baby. And a bunch of people in two people called you Brady. And then the whole world went along with it.
01:45:24:11 - 01:45:43:20
Unknown
You were baby. And they named you Brady. You were not at all. At all, Brady. They named you Brady, but you're not Brady. Okay. So yeah, I can get with labeling. Yeah sure. It's a label. It's just found you make with your mouth. Is your name Brady? Yeah. My legal name is Brady. Your legal name is Brady. But you were baby.
01:45:43:20 - 01:46:01:16
Unknown
And that about of people are all going along with it. But I might go a little deeper than this. There was a time in your life that if I would have told you, when you're nine years old, you are going to be running podcasts and you are going to be on a podcast, and you're going to own a studio, and you're going to travel the world and you're going to go, hang on, Mr. Beast.
01:46:01:16 - 01:46:16:15
Unknown
And I would have told you this when you were nine. You would have said, that's not true. Correct? Sure. Yeah. But now it's true. So which is you now believe what used to be a lie. So you're going to have. Everything's going to be a lie. You might as well believe what you want to believe if nothing is true.
01:46:16:17 - 01:46:36:09
Unknown
The greatest belief you can ever have is nothing is true except for what you choose to believe. It's one of the greatest things in the world. That's an absolute restart button. It's not true. And then you can choose to believe what you want to believe. See, I'm addicted to this. That's a belief, correct? It's not true, but you can believe it.
01:46:36:09 - 01:46:51:02
Unknown
So if all your beliefs are lies, then what? Well, then that offers the ability to create a new lie you want if everything's lie. The funny thing is, they used the word lie. Lie is different than non true or like self-created or something. I choose to understand or I choose to believe. So I use the word lie to be extreme.
01:46:51:02 - 01:47:12:20
Unknown
It probably clickbait. You know, all beliefs are lies. It's it's going to get people to pissed and to get people mad. I'm not saying you're lying, like morally lying. I'm just saying it's not fully true. Is Apple better than I'm an Apple guy? Better than Adele? No, it depends what you're using it for. Depends what. But I will believe it's true because I'll choose to believe it.
01:47:12:21 - 01:47:24:03
Unknown
It really isn't. It's just what you believe. So if all beliefs are lies is one of the greatest beliefs you can have. That means you can create anything you want. If you believe things are true, then you have no control.
01:47:24:05 - 01:47:41:09
Unknown
Do you find there to be a lot of merit in that? One exercise that I run, and I'll share this with everybody because it's helped me. And so I want to share it. Like I frequently picture large pallets stacked with cash appearing in front of me all the time. Might as well, might as well. What's the harm in it?
01:47:41:09 - 01:47:58:14
Unknown
But it's like this is the same thing as like, oh, when I see 1111 on my microwave, I assume that that means I'm in alignment with whatever trajectory. Me and my wife are in alignment with alignment 2767. Okay, so what are we moving to my house at 67? So this is funny. I've been saying 6 to 7, just my phone number when I was a kid.
01:47:58:15 - 01:48:14:05
Unknown
I say to my event a couple of years ago, I got relaxed, got him to six, two, seven. I started seeing it everywhere in Vegas. We've monitor and I've won a lot of money on 27. It shows up all the time. Like when I mean 6 to 7 like I'm talking. I see it all the time. I'm like, I got behind it in event and I needed to catch up.
01:48:14:05 - 01:48:33:08
Unknown
And we ended at six, two, seven. And then we moved into our new house on literally June 27th. So. So is this pattern recognition or are we overly indexing on just some sort of thing that probabilistically appears over and over again, and we're choosing to apply meaning I'm making it work for me. Okay. I'm just giving me confidence in acting like giving control of something.
01:48:33:09 - 01:48:50:10
Unknown
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I have no idea. I have a belief that every time I go to the airport, I'm going to run into somebody and and potentially do business. I don't think I've been to the airport. That's a great program. So dude, I literally this is nuts and I understand why it works. I'll go to the airport and I've been saying for years, the first thing I said is I'll never sit in the back of the plane again.
01:48:50:10 - 01:49:10:07
Unknown
I've been sitting in first class and I absolutely have to face the safest plane. Investigators say it, but what happens is I say I'm always going to meet someone I know. I will literally sit down to someone I know someone being in front of me. I know I'll be someone to somebody in the the lounge. The difference is eventually you sit in enough places, you get around enough people that you're going to eventually run into people you know, it's probably a probability thing there.
01:49:10:07 - 01:49:27:02
Unknown
But literally, I mean, I travel well, Tara and I will travel or my mike will travel. Deborah, there is not a time I do not go somewhere. We went the other day to look at a hotel, and while we were there, the dude from my high school that I haven't seen in 30 years runs the front desk with place here in Arizona.
01:49:27:03 - 01:49:44:14
Unknown
Like I have it so locked that I will. Everywhere that I go, I will run into somebody that I needed to see that I knew already. Everywhere I go it is programed. It is. I have evidence to back it up and I will find it. And I just made that be true. Maybe. Maybe other people are oblivious when I say made it be true.
01:49:44:14 - 01:50:02:18
Unknown
I'm talking like to a degree that I actually did in a plane. And like, I'm like, I did really cool, man. I feel like I know you. And then I'll go like, save his number, my phone, and it's I 15 years ago, crazy. And I already had it. And and the reason I'm saying this is, this is this is the power that all of us have.
01:50:02:19 - 01:50:19:07
Unknown
Like, I picked that one, that I say it. I was leaving, you know. Do you know Natalie? Jill sort of locally here. She's got big influence following. You should know each other. I run into her at the airport, and then her husband is part of one of our communities. And I'm leaving. We fly into JSX and we're coming back, and.
01:50:19:07 - 01:50:36:18
Unknown
And he's sitting outside picking her up because. Yep. You always run into someone at the airport. You ran into me like he remembered it. So I have so perception two ways to change your life. One has changed your actions. Two is change your perceptions. I literally perceive that that's how my life works, and then I am so good at influencing them to perceive.
01:50:36:18 - 01:50:50:09
Unknown
So now you believe it for me. So then you run around and go, dude, you know what I love about Michael? Every time he goes to the airport runs into people. Mike, Mike I ran into him at the he was on the plane. Three seats ahead of me was sleeping. I woke him up, scared the hell out. So this Jeremy Miner was sitting next to me on the plane.
01:50:50:15 - 01:51:06:19
Unknown
We knew we ran into each other at the thing. So I make my life work for me. Don't have a got there, but that's not like the everyone can do. It works. I just it works. And if you haven't done it, it sounds ridiculous. Sounds a little retired. I have believed before I knew what I was doing, I just told myself this.
01:51:06:19 - 01:51:21:20
Unknown
I was like, I'm just like always healthy. I almost never get sick. I'm always. I always held it. I know, I know, the qualifier. I realized that it's the embedded suggestion now, but then I was like, I have a strong back. And, you know, in my family that my dad's side of the family, there's a predisposition, pretty bad backs.
01:51:21:21 - 01:51:39:07
Unknown
And so I was like, I don't want that. And so I always told myself I have a strong back and I would work out to validate that because you can sit there and like wish it. You should also go then and you got to do something about it. You got to go to the airport. You know, it doesn't work when you're out at the airport.
01:51:39:09 - 01:51:56:01
Unknown
How about that? William has a belief. He's like, every time I eat sushi, I make money. And I was like, okay, I've been a sushi with him to. Yeah. And then you see his phone go off and it's another payment and another payment. That belief is so ironclad. And then we found out that there was like toxicity in salmon.
01:51:56:01 - 01:52:13:21
Unknown
There's the whole things we talked about sushi. So he had shifted something else like we did Korean barbecue and I just watched his phone to ding new payment. It's like these programs are easy to dismiss because it sounds insane. It's stupid sounding. It's ridiculous. But if you tried it for a while and even if you just did it, it's like a fuzzy experiment, like, oh, these dorks on a podcast.
01:52:13:22 - 01:52:29:14
Unknown
Like, I'll try it. You're going to do it, like sardonically. You're going to do it and be like, yeah, because I was going to work. But if you do it consistently for a while and you do it with something that's maybe just like two degrees beyond what you actually think is right, don't go like, oh, everywhere I go, people are handing me rocket ships, so don't make it obscene.
01:52:29:14 - 01:52:45:12
Unknown
But you can make it in this sort of like everywhere I go, I make people feel a little bit better about themselves. Easy one, right? Or everywhere I go, I find that like, I run into a lot of green lights, small things like that. Or I'll look at that as a confirmation bias. What does that do for me?
01:52:45:12 - 01:53:00:19
Unknown
What is seeing 1111 on the microwave like really do for me? I don't know, but I choose to get something out of it. And otherwise that exchange could have just been neutral. It didn't mean anything. You made it mean something that worked for you. I just make life work for me. So that's the funny thing is, I just literally make everything work for me.
01:53:00:19 - 01:53:18:03
Unknown
Everything. I have a superhuman protocol that I teach. Superhuman is one of our classes, and it's about teaching people how to make their life work for them. Meaning like every single little thing, every little thing that we do is there. I created and I needed that, and I wanted that, and that's wonderful. What good is this? You get frustrated.
01:53:18:03 - 01:53:35:04
Unknown
I wonder why I needed this today. I mean, I'm talking to you. Get in that car. Actually, I wonder why I needed this. It's not easy, but it's powerful. So this is how it all begins. Instead of saying, that's crazy, I say that's how it works. So because, dude, it's so crazy. Like, I know how I met you.
01:53:35:10 - 01:53:51:14
Unknown
You and your wife walked in. I'm at that event. We're in the back of that room. I know exactly meeting you. That's how it works. I don't say that's crazy that we're here today. Oh, it's crazy that I meet you at an event and months later, run a podcast. No, that's how it works. Just in the language allows the possibility.
01:53:51:14 - 01:54:10:00
Unknown
That's crazy. Makes me avoid it. That's. Boom. We got to start right there. So when people go, oh, dude, dude, you just. Dude, I cannot believe you walked up to that roulette table. Put that 100 bucks on 27 and walked away with $3,500. Of course I did, because that's how it works for me. Oh, I'm taking that dude.
01:54:10:00 - 01:54:30:18
Unknown
What? I mean, to a degree, that's how it works. That's how it works. When it works and when it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I know what I'm playing hockey. I'm not playing while I'm doing that. Got it. Turn it on. Let's go. It's a different game. I'll be in the middle of an event and things are not going the way I want them to.
01:54:31:00 - 01:54:49:18
Unknown
Got it. Let's focus. Lost focus. It's time to bring the focus back, not focus on them. Focus on the most important thing. Most people want to look good. I want to make an impact. Two different programs. So when I'm working with people, I always say the statement to myself is like, okay, not what do I need to say?
01:54:50:00 - 01:55:02:18
Unknown
How do I want them to respond? Or how do I want them to feel? What do I want to have happen now? It's a great question. Now what should I do? What do I want to have happen when I eat food? It's not like, hey, what do I want to eat? What do I want to have happen? How do I want to feel?
01:55:02:20 - 01:55:17:23
Unknown
Because if you say what I want to eat, you know what the fuck you're going to eat? I know. What the hell are you going to eat? How do I want to feel? It's very different. Am I correct? Yeah, absolutely. Totally. The meal gets more qualified. Well, think about it. If you say, what do I want? I don't know, but if I said, how do I want to feel?
01:55:18:00 - 01:55:34:03
Unknown
What do I want to experience? That's the difference. So I will tell you give it a shot. I mean, you'd be amazed. I set up rules for myself that really work well. Like little tiny things. I make my life easy. I want it to work well. Things just work out for me. I used to hear people say that, and I thought they were so annoying.
01:55:34:05 - 01:55:51:04
Unknown
And then I realized, wait a second, they're working out for them. I'm going to give that a shot. You can see this too. Like if you if you know people that are unbelievably negative, like the inverse is true and it's sometimes easier to like put your head around this and you're like, okay, I can kind of see where this is going.
01:55:51:05 - 01:56:07:07
Unknown
If you look at someone that is constantly complaining, like everything, every interaction, they're looking for a way to like, assume the worst about that person or be like, this is why this always happens to me. Everything goes wrong. It's always to me. It's like, you see that? And then what they do, it's just like the spotlight. I got this new car.
01:56:07:07 - 01:56:24:13
Unknown
I'm seeing it everywhere. I got a Tesla. I'm seeing Teslas everywhere. It's the same thing. It's just not to your benefit. And I know people like that. I've had a distance myself from people like that, because I was so bought in on this thing, and it feels like so it feels so, like, woozy and like, silly until it started working and I was like, dude, I don't know what to tell you.
01:56:24:13 - 01:56:41:14

I can I can lead you to water. I cannot make you drink unless you put salt in their mouth and they'll drink. That's hilarious. But you really see this, like most evident in people that are chronically negative. Because if they're chronically first off, you don't want to be around them. They're good at attracting to they attract more negative.
01:56:41:16 - 01:57:01:06
Unknown
It works. Stronger attraction. Dude, look at this. Okay. It's the guy that complains attracts problems. The guy with possibility. Yes, it is stronger. So because the mind wants to avoid all things that are going to potentially create problems because it's really good idea to avoid problems. I mean, it's smart, it's an evolutionary adaptation. It's really a good idea.
01:57:01:07 - 01:57:14:21
Unknown
Like to like, dude, that's bad, avoid it, you will notice it, and then you'll bring it up and you'll complain about it and you'll track more of it. So I believe in ten one does my belief. I believe every positive thought is one step forward. I believe every negative thought is ten steps backwards. So I just believe that.
01:57:14:21 - 01:57:30:19
Unknown
So if I watch ten minutes of a negative show, I take 100 steps backwards. I watch ten minutes of a positive show. I get ten steps forwards. I'm behind 90 steps right off the bat. This is why you got to read ten pages in a book and then don't watch the negative stuff. And this is why, right before you go to bed, I've been teaching this for years.
01:57:30:21 - 01:57:47:06
Unknown
This thing airplane mode off to the side. Yellow book, light, physical book. Don't read a Kindle at night before bed. What you do and think about prior to going to bed will live in your unconscious mind. For the 8 to 10 hours or six hours that you're sleeping. It'll be more powerful than anything do in your waking moments.
01:57:47:06 - 01:58:02:12
Unknown
So whatever you think about prior to bed. What are you concerned? Doubt. Worry lives in your mind. Possibilities, stacks of cash. Whatever it is, we'll live in your mind. I'm not saying you're going to get it. I'm just going to say while you're sleeping, it's recycling and circling your brain, and it leaves the the remnants in the morning.
01:58:02:12 - 01:58:19:05
Unknown
So give it a shot for a couple of days. I always tell everyone I use a must board this little board. I write down a little marker before bed. Must makes you stronger. Today while I'm sleeping, find a way to wake up with energy. It's not a big command. Tomorrow's plan. Find a way to help a few people.
01:58:19:07 - 01:58:35:02
Unknown
Use your language to make a difference in people's lives. I'll put it. I'll succeed. Before the morning begins. I'll wake up and wake up with energy. If I don't have it, I'll find it. I'm just saying I play to win. It's a whole different level of play.
01:58:35:04 - 01:58:56:04
Unknown
The more circles I get in, the more people who are incredibly successful on a business sense and a family sense, all the different qualifications of it. The more I realized they all think this way. Yeah, and the way that I grew up are the people that are around. I grew up around. They don't. Not because it's like, is this not like some sort of like measurement or condemnation.
01:58:56:04 - 01:59:14:12
Unknown
It's just like typically when your life reflects a certain thing, it's because of the patterns that you're running. If you're certain economic status is only hitting here, or you top out or you run into this thing, or you're just kind of like, this is who we are. There are typically things that people have been saying for like a long time, like your grandparents are like, this is just who we are.
01:59:14:13 - 01:59:29:00
Unknown
You know, we're not tech people like you ever like you ever meet like an older person. It's like 60, 70. Oh, I'm just not like a tech person. You're like, I'm not going out on time for AI. Oh, new version of the same thing. That's the new version of the same thing. The amount of people that are just like, yeah, I'm not getting into this AI thing.
01:59:29:00 - 01:59:49:11
Unknown
I was like, this is not an NFT. To be clear, this is not some silly goose PNG and you think it's going to like, this is bigger than the internet and you're just not going to get into that. There will eventually at some level. So behind the curve that's fine. They've always what are we. There's no rush. We rush.
01:59:49:13 - 02:00:07:19
Unknown
We're rushing for what is your make your read on artificial intelligence right now. I mean I'm very deep on the saga of whatever they have us doing right now. They've been 20 steps ahead of us, I believe they've been using for 30 years, whatever they allow us to have, they've been playing with for 20 or 30 years. If you and I know about it and we think we found it online, they wanted us to find it.
02:00:07:19 - 02:00:32:09
Unknown
So I'm just thinking whatever we're playing with on AI, they asked us to have. So the nebulous boogeyman, they well, I don't mean they, I just mean, yeah, I don't know if it's a boogeyman or it's like it isn't new. It's like if you really think about it, like versions of the stuff existed. Like, we're not as cool as we think we are.
02:00:32:11 - 02:00:49:22
Unknown
So then they just had enough of a breakthrough and then they went, we'll kind of let this. And then as this is out, the cat's out of the bag, let him have it, move on to the next thing, because it won't look like I heard this crazy report. Hopefully I can find it. We'll put it in notes. There was a report where back in the 80s and 90s at very certain levels of, I don't know, government classification.
02:00:49:23 - 02:01:08:00
Unknown
However, you want to kind of slice that. There was like a phone that had a type of operating system and they had messaging on it. They had some sort of intranet on it well before the smartphone, like well before like, and so it's like if some and this is hearsay, so like whatever. But if that is true, it's not going to look like the Apple OS.
02:01:08:00 - 02:01:24:16
Unknown
It's not like they had the iPhone 17 and they were playing with it like 1989. No. They had some sort of like time, approximate version of some handheld device that had some kind of networking capability that you could reach out to other people who had one, and you could access some sort of database like they had a version of it.
02:01:24:16 - 02:01:42:00
Unknown
And then once they were able to go, here are the limitations. Once they were able to go, here are the limitations, we're going to kind of come up with a better version. Eventually we'll kind of say, hey, you know, maybe they handed it in a in a bag to somebody at Apple, right? Like Google, Facebook, all of these things are allegedly DoD projects.
02:01:42:01 - 02:01:59:18
Unknown
I mean, the internet or DARPA projects. Let me say that again, Google the internet. You know, these are allegedly like DARPA projects. And so it's like once they have a use case and they're able to fully get to the ends of it and they go, okay, we get a better version of it. What if then they go and kind of release their shoddy second hand version of it to the public?
02:01:59:19 - 02:02:17:11
Unknown
That's typically what a lot of people feel. Yeah. My belief on like Facebook and stuff like that, I don't I mean, I'm please. I mean, I think that when you say DoD, I mean, anyone watching this right now, we're at this point, you know, they're on board, or at least that one argue with us is I believe that something comes along and someone goes to, that's good.
02:02:17:12 - 02:02:28:15
Unknown
We're gonna make you famous. You're going to have to do a couple things for me. No different than The Godfather. It's going to be. I'm in in place. I'm from Jersey. I understand how this whole thing works. Or at least I have an illusion. I think it's like, okay, there's a few things I might ask you for down the road.
02:02:28:16 - 02:02:39:23
Unknown
Hey, I'm making an offer you can't refuse. You be a billionaire, be famous, do all the things you want to do. Be the wealthiest man in the world. Do you know what I'm saying? I may ask you for some favors down the road. Don't worry about the taxes and everything else. And they're just going to let you go in.
02:02:39:23 - 02:03:00:11
Unknown
Because if not, like, why him? Why? Why this this random people like. And then they make a movie about you and they spin it a certain way and they do all that. And I believe that's the way in politics. I believe that that's way in the movie business. I believe that to get to those levels of billionaire stuff, I believe that you got to knock on your door by somebody at some time ago.
02:03:00:12 - 02:03:17:23
Unknown
We're going to help you get where you want to go. We got your back. You might have to do a couple things for us here and there, but you can have anything you want, anything you want. By the way, good, easy example to say, hey, this is a non-zero chance. China does this openly. They pick their national champions.
02:03:18:02 - 02:03:36:04
Unknown
They whereas like the US, tries to not have the federal government put their thumb on the scale for one business or another, they do. But at least on the presenting front face, they're like, no, we don't, we don't do that. But China does. And they're just like, yeah, no, we pick BYD BYD's awesome. We pick by dance by dance is awesome, you know?
02:03:36:04 - 02:03:53:12
Unknown
And they're able to just say, we allowed the environment of competition to rule out who was the most capable, who had the best ideas. And then we just went, okay, great. You ten shuttered. You're going to go work for this one now. So it's like a ten different companies. One of them proves to be truly exceptional. The other nine just get rolled up into it.
02:03:53:14 - 02:04:08:03
Unknown
I didn't know about this, but this is what I'm saying. They do it openly, you know? This is how. Because it's like, look, the private sector, when you really let it work, you've got this magical hand of the free market. It does not get everything right. It makes winners and losers, and a lot of people hate it. I get the resentment towards capitalism.
02:04:08:03 - 02:04:25:19
Unknown
I promise you it's better than socialism. But what it does do is innovation and competition spur the most maximal version of some outcome because they're highly incentivized. So when you get that, you get unbelievable breakthroughs that a whole bunch of scientists that are off the book stuffed into a warehouse over in Nevada, it's like they're going to have cool breakthroughs.
02:04:25:19 - 02:04:44:08
Unknown
But like you also, they watch the private sector and they watch different minds and different innovations. And like you said, they go, oh, that's pretty cool. And so if you think that like Zuckerberg or like people like, come to me like, do Mr. Beast ever like get recruited by CIA? And I was like, not like he told me, but, you know, there's a non-zero chance because you have a lot of influence or you have a really good idea.
02:04:44:08 - 02:05:02:22
Unknown
And who wants that good idea? Well, probably the people that run the country you freakin live in just kind of logical, like, oh, where's the newspaper article? There isn't one. There's never going to be one. But it's like if you're you're limit on this is your imagination, by the way. And they're like, well, you're with you. He's like, be a little bit more imaginative.
02:05:02:22 - 02:05:28:15
Unknown
Conspiracy theory, I believe, was a term vented by CIA. Yeah, I think it was World War Two. I think that they invented that term just to call people clerks and everything else. It's sort of like the words they've come up with. It's like they I it's just fascinating how people with high moral being that want to do the right thing and will always be attacked because there's power in that.
02:05:28:15 - 02:05:45:12
Unknown
And when human beings come together and they're highly moral and they work well together, it's the most dangerous group of people. And those are the ones that need to be separated from each other. If you own a company and you got a bunch of people that get along really well, that are really smart, that are doing the right thing, it's very dangerous for these people that need control.
02:05:45:12 - 02:06:15:10
Unknown
And that's the the issue. So knowing that there's these power structures that that be they were there before we were born into this world. We came into this world. They said, here's what's been going on. Here's your role. This is the script. Follow the script. What is one thing that you would say to people to try and grab some corner of their life, if it feels a little out of control, so that they can start living a more fulfilling life.
02:06:15:12 - 02:06:31:14
Unknown
That feeling that you have, that feeling that you have deep down where you know you're capable of more, you have that little burning flame inside says, I could do more, I know I can be more. It's real. You got to let it live and you've got to have a conversation with it. And you've got to realize that what you've done up till now is wonderful.
02:06:31:14 - 02:06:53:03
Unknown
But what you're capable of doing is pretty much unlimited. So I would I would challenge anyone to realize that what you're doing is what you do. What you want to do still hasn't happened yet. So I would I would challenge anybody to realize that the your creativity and your imagination is the only the only confined to whatever it is that you're looking for.
02:06:53:03 - 02:07:08:01
Unknown
So I'd sit down with someone and say, okay, well, let's create what you want. Let's pretend that were no barriers and know anything. What would we want to create? And we get going. And then you're going to get about a minute in. You can't go. You can get a 3 to 5 minutes. You start getting smart, you start getting creative and things start opening up.
02:07:08:01 - 02:07:24:21
Unknown
You'll go an hour, you'll go five hours, you go six. But we do not have a lot of stamina with creativity, and we don't have a lot of time where we're running it like it's cardio. Do you know what I'm saying? The longer you get spend being creative and imaginative, the more powerful you get an opportunity to be.
02:07:24:22 - 02:07:48:07
Unknown
This is what Disney and everybody was good and they did a lot of acid and a bunch of things too. I do hypnosis instead, but learning how to use the power of your mind to get the things you want will be your greatest asset and not use your actions. Hard work is nothing compared to creativity and imagination. Hard work is nothing compared to creativity and imagination.
02:07:48:09 - 02:07:52:18
Unknown
I could find anyone to do hard work.
02:07:52:20 - 02:08:14:23
Unknown
Imagination and creativity is very rare. AI can do hard work, so can labor and so can do a million things. It's the imagination that creates the power. And if anyone's used AI, you see just how limited that that part of it really objectively is. It's just a mosaic. It's kind of a best hits smash up of just all this other creative work in their lives over that stuff.
02:08:14:23 - 02:08:32:00
Unknown
They're going to they're going to miss. They're going to forget how to think, they're gonna forget about create the right type of thing and creativity. Oh, it's so sad. Oh, dude, run through ChatGPT, man. I checked with them to it all. ChatGPT is is Google search. It's literally not much better. I'm talking about like the claw and the chat should be used as a search engine.
02:08:32:04 - 02:08:50:13
Unknown
People are just getting the same stuff that's put on the internet. So all I have to do is just spend all day putting what I want to put out there. And and I could literally fill that thing with what I want it to fill with and how well you ask the question. So your ability to ask the appropriate question is still the thing you could live your whole life without, and you'd be just fine and you could make billions of dollars.
02:08:50:13 - 02:09:15:02
Unknown
Not necessary. Anyone thinks is necessary is not true. There's people I know that don't even take credit cards, and they run businesses, not online. They make billions of dollars. There's tons of companies out there that do that. You just don't think about them because you're stuck in your little bubbles. But there are companies out there that are still cash, businesses that literally have no websites, that are still making billions and billions of dollars.
02:09:15:03 - 02:09:30:00
Unknown
No kidding. How many farmers are taking credit cards? Then think about that. Did you know? And there are all kinds of things out there that most people miss. I'm a drug dealers, you know, taking credit cards.
02:09:30:02 - 02:09:46:03
Unknown
I don't know any drug dealers you're talking about. That's crazy. Michael. Burn off. You are the man. Thank you so much for coming on to forge today. I have many new neural pathways as a result of this. People that want to find you come to one of your trainings when your seminars. How do they get Ahold of you?
02:09:46:03 - 02:10:04:15
Unknown
Because your curriculum, the events that you run, the online trainings, of course I have. I've literally watched you change like tens of thousands of people's lives. You've been doing this for forever. And and so they just wanted people to get a sense of who you are. But it's like on the back end, the shameless plug, like, how do people get to find you?
02:10:04:16 - 02:10:23:09
Unknown
What's the point? Well, there's different kinds of people, and some people are voyeurs. They just want to look on the outside and stay on the internet. Just watch my Instagram, watch my YouTube, check out my channel and just be on the outside. And that's fine. You really get to kind of know me, but if you want to get to know you, there's this thing called a website.
02:10:23:14 - 02:10:36:21
Unknown
It's called Michael Vernoff. You can go check it out. And I'm a little old school, and I'm one of these people that say, if you really want to get a hold of me, I'm a Gen X, or I'm just going to give you a number and this will this will be very, very easy. Most people will never do this.
02:10:36:21 - 02:11:01:09
Unknown
But here's the phone number. It's has numbers. It's (480) 800-8051. My assistant will connect with you. It's 480 800 851. Text the word forged on the who you are. Just text me. It's not an auto responder. And then literally, my team will know where you came from. And let's chat. If you want to take a class or a course and work with me.
02:11:01:09 - 02:11:19:21
Unknown
If not, just check out the web. When you're ready to do something like pick up the phone. I'm old school and let's chat and let's figure it out. But if you want to learn how to use this neuro neuro just power and use your mind and get Ahold of me, we'll start there. The human interactive technology that you've done, it is so freaking cool, man.
02:11:19:22 - 02:11:36:19
Unknown
It is so cool. And you're one of the Institute's is that it's the Human Communication Human Communications Institute in North Scottsdale. I mean, we spent all day, all night figuring out what makes people do the things they do. I mean, we do very advanced programing models where we redesign how human behavior works and how to how to actually maximize what people do.
02:11:36:19 - 02:11:56:17
Unknown
And human interaction technology, if you're a business owner, if you're in sales, if you're in sports, if you're high performer and you're like, I would love to have full control of my mind, I still can't give you full control. But if you want to have 1,015% more, the things you can do when you can limit your thoughts, increase your focus and be able to get your mind to do what you want.
02:11:56:19 - 02:12:15:22
Unknown
Well, there's a reason that UFC fighters and stars, athletes and celebrities will call you like ten 15 minutes before it's showtime. And it's because of what's inside of this. This curriculum and especially average sucks. The whole thesis is just incredible. It invites every single person. Doesn't matter if you're in a trailer in the Hamptons, you have more in you.
02:12:15:22 - 02:12:29:21
Unknown
You are the only limiting factor and then the information that you get. So thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for having me on. This is a freaking blast. This is super fun. Yeah, forge the life you want. And that's what it's about. Like I like it. We're forging the life we want, baby. Guys. We'll see you next time.
