1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,080 Liam, you've been traveling for some time, living in, you said a yacht, I believe you 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,680 said, and also a motorcade. 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,900 You're in Italy right now, southern Italy, which most of us are already ultra jealous 4 00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,540 of what I've just outlined. 5 00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:25,560 So what got you there to doing that? 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,560 And where have you been? 7 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,880 And what's that life like? 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,600 Are there good, bad and uglies of that? 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,440 Or is it just all perfect all the time? 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,920 Well this sort of life, I mean, I've been traveling without a home, if you like, for 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,200 about 14 years. 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,200 Since 2011. 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440 Yeah, so 14 years. 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,680 And it's been a variety of things. 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,380 It started off with motor homing in my home country, New Zealand. 16 00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:54,960 And then my partner and I, we took a one way ticket to Europe. 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,600 And then we spent eight years sailing around Europe in our own yacht, which we've had three 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,080 yachts, one after the other. 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,720 And then last year we sold that and now we're in a motor home and traveling around Europe. 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,680 And early next year, we're currently having another yacht built, which will be ready early 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,680 next year. 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,720 So we're going to take up the sailing life again. 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,000 And people say to me, wow, that sounds like the dream. 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,400 But the great thing about it is you have one lesson to learn in life when you do this. 25 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,920 And that is to accept and deal with uncertainty. 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,760 And everybody struggles with this idea that they're trying to create security in their 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,540 life and create certainty. 28 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:39,240 So people have goals and they have plans and they put structures into their life. 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:46,280 But that's probably something we might talk about, how life works biologically and naturally. 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,000 And that the cause of our problems in our life is when we're being unnatural in the 31 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,740 way we're using our life. 32 00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,680 But the natural flow of life is to go with life. 33 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,180 So I've had the real privilege to learn how to deal with uncertainty. 34 00:02:01,180 --> 00:02:04,280 Because when you're on a yacht or even in a motor home, you don't know where you're 35 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,240 going to be the next day. 36 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,180 You don't know what in a yacht, what the weather's going to do. 37 00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:10,180 You might have to move. 38 00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:12,740 You might have a plan of where you think you're going to go. 39 00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:18,400 And then halfway there, conditions change and you have to make a decision, all based 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,280 on not really knowing where you're going. 41 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680 But you have to make the best decision as to where you think you should be heading. 42 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,840 So these, of course, are all metaphors of how we should really live our life rather 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,080 than having this rigid, focused idea that life has to be a certain way and we have to 44 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,120 control everything and know the outcome of everything before we move in any particular 45 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,120 direction. 46 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,240 And all that does, as I learned the hard way through my previous life, if you like, I learned 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,240 the hard way. 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,560 It allows us to keep you stuck, keep you with problems which you're not supposed to have 49 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,280 and keep you really living way below your full potential and probably most importantly, 50 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,440 stop you from being happy because that's what we're all here for. 51 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,720 That's the purpose of life. 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,400 That's why we do, people do what we do. 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,160 We're all trying to be happy, but that's what blocks you. 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:13,540 It's this lack of security about where you are right now and faith in yourself. 55 00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:15,520 That's what keeps us stuck. 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:21,160 You know, it's interesting, Liam, there's a lot of coaches and influencers in the world 57 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,560 that are trying to force this type of a message on people. 58 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,160 And it's a dangerous reality. 59 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,040 When I say there are others who force it, you don't. 60 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,920 You actually have a balance that reminds me a lot of how I look at life, which I'm pretty 61 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,640 grateful for how I look at life and the way that I show up. 62 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,200 But I go through your content. 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,480 I see the way that you're poised. 64 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,880 There's so much value and truth in these principles that you share, but there are also principles 65 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,320 that are very, very dangerous because they're very, very powerful. 66 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,520 And so a lot of people lean into the law of attraction with so much force and like, I'm 67 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,320 going to make this happen. 68 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,280 You know, I'm going to get this liberty no matter what. 69 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,080 And they end up costing themselves a lot in the process. 70 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,600 What do I mean by that? 71 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,520 As a single father of four, I do not have a struggle free life. 72 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,520 Right. 73 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:20,480 I do not have no like there are frustrations that occur in the process. 74 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:27,560 But in the way that you approach the subject, I feel the draw of OK, the point isn't that 75 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,560 we should have the easiest life possible, right? 76 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,640 That we should avoid progress and that we're going to try to aim for an easy life as much 77 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:44,760 as it is the balance of embracing the value of our present opportunities and not getting 78 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:51,160 addicted or stuck on somebody else's promise of routine or desire for controlling our outcomes 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:58,460 so that we can somehow unlock freedom by obsessing over the direction of our life. 80 00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:03,480 So it's a really interesting reality for me to talk to you about because most people who 81 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:10,200 would present this idea for our show, I can see through them and see like, you're not 82 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,260 even close to what you keep shouting at people to do. 83 00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:15,520 You have unlocked something, though. 84 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,940 Some type of grace about you shows it. 85 00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:19,240 Do you see in the world? 86 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,840 Do you see what I see in terms of some people trying to force this issue out there? 87 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,240 And how do you how do you what would you suggest to our listeners? 88 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,400 How do you recognize the difference between what I call those who are pretending and those 89 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,400 who are contending? 90 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,240 Well it really comes down to one word, actually. 91 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:47,140 And I think this one word is the cause of every problem in life, every conflict, every 92 00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,360 stress and struggle in life. 93 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,920 And that word is fear. 94 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,400 When we have subconscious fears, that limits us. 95 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,280 And you know, and you can see this, as you say, in other people, when someone is genuine 96 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:05,720 or not, it's to what degree do they have internal fears? 97 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Are they afraid of what other people will think? 98 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,360 Are they afraid that they won't achieve what they think they need to achieve? 99 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Are they afraid that they're going to have regrets, that they're going to look back or 100 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,680 that they're not living up to some image they have of themselves, of being who they think 101 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,880 they should be? 102 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,300 So when people have all these fears and most people have subconscious fears, it projects 103 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:26,600 onto other people, doesn't it? 104 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,620 As insecurity or lack of genuineness. 105 00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:38,040 But when we meet a person who has no fear, is really comfortable with who they are, is 106 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080 not out to try to impress anybody else. 107 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,920 It's just being themself and has the attitude, you know, why should I worry or care about 108 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,040 what other people think? 109 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,240 I'm just going to be myself. 110 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,820 And if people like it, good. 111 00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:54,180 If they don't like it, that's not my concern. 112 00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:55,960 My concern is not what other people think. 113 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,480 My concern is how I feel. 114 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240 And when we meet people like that, they're very charismatic. 115 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,960 They're the true leaders of the world. 116 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,520 And I guess what I discovered through my life and through making lots of mistakes and through 117 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,880 going through lots of struggles and things along the way is that fear is the thing that 118 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,040 blocks us from being ourself and therefore from really experiencing the life we're designed 119 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,040 to experience. 120 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,600 And when I learned how to let go of fear, that's when everything in my life changed. 121 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:30,040 Because before, when I was had all of these subconscious fears, my life was full of stress 122 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,120 and problems and struggle and making lots of mistakes and having all these things show 123 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,520 up in my life that I didn't want to be there. 124 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,160 But when I understood that it was all caused by my subconscious fears, I learned how to 125 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,520 let go of those and I had to lose everything I had. 126 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:52,080 I had to go from being a millionaire and having all my dreams, you know, from having I remember 127 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:58,120 once this very, this particular occasion walking into the house that I had just finished was 128 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,120 just in the process of finishing, it was my dream home. 129 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,120 Everything I thought I wanted in a home, I was putting the finishing touches and I had 130 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,440 two businesses. 131 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,680 I had freedom to be and do whatever I wanted to do theoretically. 132 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,120 And I sat down and I said to myself, I've done it. 133 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,080 I'm living my dreams. 134 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,600 Everything I thought I wanted or my goals, here they all are. 135 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,880 I've got the house, I've got the businesses, I've got the lifestyle. 136 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,160 But I wasn't far from being happy and thinking, wow, this is amazing. 137 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,320 I was completely and utterly miserable. 138 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,160 I was so stressed because I had so many problems and struggles, things not going right in my 139 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,160 life. 140 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,280 And I said to myself, why is this, why is this what there is? 141 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,080 Is this what I signed up for? 142 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,960 Where's the feeling of living my purpose and the freedom and joy and peace that comes from 143 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,640 having all of this stuff? 144 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,680 Maybe it would be better and I'd be prepared to lose everything I have and start again 145 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:00,280 if it meant I saved my soul. 146 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,360 Because that's what it felt like. 147 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,240 It felt like my life force was being drained out of me. 148 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,200 And literally within a couple of months, I got what I wished for. 149 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,560 I lost everything, had to move back in with my elderly mother and sleep on the sofa in 150 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,800 the living room of her small apartment. 151 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,120 And I started again. 152 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,820 But what that caused me to do was change my relationship with this fear thing. 153 00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:24,440 And that was the one thing that shifted. 154 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,960 And what I didn't realize at that time is this has a biological component. 155 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,680 When I'm talking about fear, I'm not just talking about some esoteric idea. 156 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:39,080 There's a science and a biology about how we're designed to be that ties in and that 157 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,120 is directly related to this concept of fear. 158 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,120 Yes. 159 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Oh, man, I'm just eating it up. 160 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,760 Sorry. 161 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,880 I was like, okay, there's so much value of what you're doing. 162 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,640 And I don't normally have my guests go for that long. 163 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,760 But I wanted you to consider. 164 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,360 No, I wanted you to don't be sorry. 165 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,960 You just poured gold all over us, like over and over and over again. 166 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:10,220 So to break that down, because I was really just meditating on the underlying word for 167 00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:15,000 what you're talking about, too, of authenticity. 168 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,720 And this reality of fear that exists. 169 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,760 And we all face fears. 170 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,080 We all have the opportunities to make excuses. 171 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:29,480 But the way you talked about soul saving, I feel that, man. 172 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,000 I really legitimately feel that. 173 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,160 I'm like, yes, this is exactly what I want for my life, what I want for others. 174 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,160 And you've managed to tap into the brain in ways that I think are really important that 175 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,760 most people don't explore. 176 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,240 I just can't wait to dive in further about the frustrations and the struggle free success 177 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,240 components. 178 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,720 And I hope you come back. 179 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,720 I'm already going to say it. 180 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,780 I hope I can bring you on multiple times because there's so much depth that we can go into 181 00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:05,200 in this that I know that the visionaries out there, the entrepreneurs out there, they would 182 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,040 be deprived of learning about this if they didn't have the chance to hear what we're 183 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,960 going to explore together related to it. 184 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,040 I don't think they will come across another learning opportunity like this out there. 185 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,000 So thank you for being willing to bring it. 186 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,720 I'm going to go back to some of your roots on this. 187 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,680 Liam, what are three of the resources that have helped you get to where you are in your 188 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,280 journey that will help other visionary leaders out there? 189 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,480 Well, I could point to a few things, maybe some superficial things in some ways. 190 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,000 There's a film that I think everybody should watch once you start to really what we all 191 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,560 need to do is we need to start questioning everything we've been taught about who we 192 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:51,640 are and about the way life works, because it's all wrong. 193 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,320 We've been taught that the problems are natural, that life is a struggle and that we have to 194 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280 overcome all of the challenges. 195 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:07,040 You know, they're good for you to have problems and life where these frail, weak beings that 196 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,820 we have to earn the right to be happy, if you like. 197 00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:13,880 We don't deserve to be happy unless we work for it, unless we achieve it. 198 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,720 And all of these things are completely wrong. 199 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:21,600 So the most important thing to start for people to start thinking about is maybe there's something 200 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,240 different going on here to what I think is going on. 201 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,040 I'm busy out there trying to make my life work and getting on my goals and plans and 202 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,800 learning all this new information and talking to people and having coaches and mentors and 203 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,600 doing all this activity. 204 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,320 But what's really controlling my life and what really controls your life? 205 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,560 And I learned this only when I became homeless and my life went in a completely different 206 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:46,840 direction. 207 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,000 And instead of me chasing after success and trying to force things to happen, things started 208 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,280 showing up in my life. 209 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,120 So I was homeless. 210 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,120 I had nothing. 211 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,960 And a business literally came and put itself in my lap. 212 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:05,080 Now, it didn't mean I didn't have to put any effort into growing the business and working 213 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,080 on it. 214 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,480 But it just sort of came to me. 215 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,920 I know that sounds really weird. 216 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,880 And then an amazing relationship came to me as well into my lap, if you like. 217 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,880 And then another business. 218 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:21,240 And before I knew it, there I was, I remember this experience in the Greek islands on my 219 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,280 own boat, own yacht in a beautiful bay. 220 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,400 Sun was shining, woke up in the morning, just fell off the back of the boat to have a swim. 221 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,960 And as I got out of the water and was drying myself off, I thought, you know, I've got 222 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,280 a couple of businesses that are operating for me doing really well. 223 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,720 I don't have any problems and stress in my life. 224 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,040 What I have is the feeling that I've always been looking for, that I was looking for when 225 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,820 I was in that house, my dream house, and that I never got. 226 00:13:48,820 --> 00:13:51,960 And that was that feeling that I am being, that I am thriving. 227 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,080 I am being my best. 228 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040 I'm being who I'm supposed to be. 229 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,600 I'm in the flow, if you like. 230 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,560 We talk about being in the flow, being in the zone. 231 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,680 That's the feeling that I've been looking for all my life. 232 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:02,880 And here it is. 233 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,040 And it hasn't come to me. 234 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,760 I haven't got this through hustle and struggle and getting out there trying to, you know, 235 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,480 set goals because I wasn't setting any goals. 236 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800 I wasn't going after any opportunities. 237 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,080 I wasn't, you know, really forcing things to happen. 238 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,760 So how did all this come about, I said to myself. 239 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,960 And that's what really I decided I need to figure out what really was going on, not what 240 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,760 all the gurus had said about the law of attraction. 241 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Because I've done all of that stuff, you know, the law of attraction and spirituality and 242 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:40,640 goal setting and reprogramming your subconscious mind and visualization and affirmations. 243 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,280 I've done that stuff for years. 244 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,200 I've been a success junkie. 245 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,200 I had all the books. 246 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,760 I've been to the seminars all over the world, including your fine country. 247 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,360 You know, I've done all of this stuff, but it hadn't solved my problem. 248 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,040 It hadn't taken away this feeling that I wasn't really being myself. 249 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,600 I wasn't being the best expression of myself. 250 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,200 And I wasn't getting rid of my problems because every time I got rid of one, another one came 251 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,200 along. 252 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,920 And then, of course, everything just collapsed into a heap. 253 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,480 And that wasn't on my goals list for sure. 254 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,520 So I needed to figure out what was different. 255 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:17,200 And the difference was the thing that I overlooked is that we are all fundamentally, we live 256 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,800 in a biological natural world. 257 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,280 We are controlled by laws of nature. 258 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:28,140 And we might think that we can force something to be different to what it is, but we can't. 259 00:15:28,140 --> 00:15:32,960 It's like saying I'm going to stand on a 10 story building and I'm going to meditate, 260 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,920 pray, use all of these visualization techniques and reprogram my brain and all those things. 261 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,440 And I'm going to convince myself I'm going to walk off this building. 262 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,280 And I'm going to fly up into the air. 263 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,360 Now, there have been people through history who've actually done this, who've tried this, 264 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,600 but nobody's succeeded. 265 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,640 And why not? 266 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280 Because the law of gravity is going to take over. 267 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,880 So we actually, so we're governed by the laws of nature. 268 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,760 That's just one of them. 269 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,640 But nature has laws about who we are biologically and how we're supposed to operate. 270 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,960 And every living thing and every biological scientist will tell you this is the case. 271 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,600 Every living thing has one primary purpose. 272 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,560 And that's to survive. 273 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,840 Every living thing is wired primarily to seek to survive. 274 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,400 But how does something survive? 275 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,720 What gives something the best chance of survival is thriving. 276 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,940 In other words, the better an organism is, the more chance they've got of surviving. 277 00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:31,560 So we're literally wired like every other living thing to be our best so that we have 278 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,580 the greatest chance for survival. 279 00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:37,400 That's nature's purpose for us, for every living thing. 280 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920 And for us, of course, thriving doesn't just mean being healthy physically. 281 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,720 It means being mentally and emotionally and spiritually our best as well, which means 282 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,860 being happy. 283 00:16:46,860 --> 00:16:48,240 It doesn't mean struggling. 284 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,880 It doesn't mean having problems. 285 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,240 And this isn't just my idea. 286 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,240 This is logic. 287 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,000 This is natural biology. 288 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,400 Nature doesn't operate on struggle. 289 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,380 It operates on thriving. 290 00:17:00,380 --> 00:17:02,720 So everything's wired to do this. 291 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,240 And so we have to ask the question, and I ask the question, why was I not thriving? 292 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,880 And why am I now thriving? 293 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,100 What's the difference? 294 00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:11,900 And why is it most people aren't thriving? 295 00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:16,480 Because if you say to people, you know, once they realize their biological purpose, the 296 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,520 way they're wired to thrive, the question becomes, why aren't we? 297 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,100 Why do we have problems? 298 00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:26,920 Why are we so unhappy and feeling that we're not where we should be? 299 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,140 And what it comes down to, and again, this isn't something I've never heard from any 300 00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:36,320 of the gurus, is that we've every living thing has been provided with a mechanism, or I call 301 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,880 it a machine, which has a purpose to make sure that this happens. 302 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,340 And that's a brain. 303 00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:47,980 The brain is nothing more than a biological machine whose sole purpose is to make sure 304 00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:53,320 that you thrive, be the best that you can be in every area of your life so that you 305 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,320 have the greatest chance for survival. 306 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,080 And that is biology. 307 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,120 And this over, you know, this, I'm not talking here about spirituality or any esoteric idea. 308 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:05,480 This is physical stuff. 309 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,120 And so I started to explore about how the brain works. 310 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:11,200 And I realized that most of us have been using it the wrong way. 311 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,640 And what happens when you use a machine the wrong way? 312 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,840 You get problems show up. 313 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,880 Things don't, it doesn't, you know, try and drive your motor car, a motor car, and you 314 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,880 don't know how to drive it. 315 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,480 You're not going to get very far. 316 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,720 You're going to end up with all sorts of problems. 317 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,600 You're probably going to burn out the engine. 318 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,600 Does this sound familiar with our life? 319 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,200 You know, you're going to do all these things that are wrong. 320 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,380 And you, and it's purely because you've never been taught how to drive it properly. 321 00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:36,280 And the irony with the brain is that it's as simple as that. 322 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,720 It's actually simpler to drive it the right way than it is to drive a motor car because 323 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,000 this is supposed to be natural. 324 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000 We're supposed to do this naturally. 325 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,120 We're not supposed to have to go and sit on a mountain top for 30 years and learn how 326 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:50,360 to live naturally and thrive. 327 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:54,820 This is all inherently in the makeup of how we are designed biologically. 328 00:18:54,820 --> 00:18:59,000 And it's only because we've picked up all of these wrong ideas, all these people and 329 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,520 not through their fault have told us all the wrong ways to drive the machine. 330 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,440 And that's why we end up in this dysfunctional state where we're not thriving. 331 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,440 It's interesting. 332 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,960 There's a lot, there's a lot to add there. 333 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:17,440 I'd add one, one other component though, to it that the brain to me is everything that 334 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,440 you said it is. 335 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,000 And right, I'm going to add an and to this and the heart. 336 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,160 Those, those two things go hand in hand. 337 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,080 They're so overlooked and to me those are the two superpowers that we have access to 338 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,840 that one of the things that I see happen with a lot of people out there is when, and this 339 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,040 has a lot to do with that wrong nature of programming that Liam's talking about, right? 340 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,920 You see men dive into business experiences where everything logically feels right and 341 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,160 everything seems perfectly on point. 342 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,240 But the men like to say that they had a gut feeling, right? 343 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,160 They ignore the gut feeling though and they move into the no brainer opportunities and 344 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,400 they're seeing, oh, they're on the curb, you know, without an opportunity that went very 345 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,880 well and it's has to do with their ignorance of the value that the heart plays. 346 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,520 And again, we're, we're talking about physical components. 347 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,520 I'm not a doctor. 348 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,520 I'm not a neurologist. 349 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,520 I'm not a cardiologist. 350 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,880 I don't have access to all of that data, but there's something that feels right for me 351 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,480 about understanding the connectedness of intuition and the centeredness of the heart. 352 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,560 On the flip side, a lot of feminine individuals, this happens often to females where they get 353 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,120 involved in a relationship based on, oh, it feels so right. 354 00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:35,560 Oh, I prayed about it and I felt like he's the right person, even though friends and 355 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,400 family and others are recognizing like, well, wait a second, you're not seeing this guy 356 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,860 clearly. 357 00:20:41,860 --> 00:20:46,520 Maybe you're overlooking some of the logical components of the relationship and how many 358 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:54,000 end up in abusive relationships and yet use the guise of prayer or use some feeling to 359 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,760 justify in a logical action. 360 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:03,240 I think our superpowers personally for me lie in being able to recognize when an answer 361 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:08,880 or a direction for my life is so strong that my heart and my mind are aligned. 362 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,280 And that's when I know my intuition is certain. 363 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,960 Do I get that every time? 364 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,960 No. 365 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,080 Do I have to make decisions where it only makes sense logically or where it only feels 366 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,080 right? 367 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,000 Of course I have those opportunities. 368 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,460 And this goes hand in hand back to, I would say, just gratitude. 369 00:21:25,460 --> 00:21:30,640 That's one of my secret powers for having a struggle free success and making sure that 370 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:36,320 I don't get frustrated is realizing that as Liam talked about, I believe that you said 371 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,480 nature's purpose is to help us with our survival. 372 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,980 And we have so many opportunities to move from survive to thrive. 373 00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:51,200 We have a lot of great resources out there and we have far more distractions than we 374 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,080 do great resources. 375 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,520 So we've got to figure out where we're going to go, who we're going to turn to. 376 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,080 Liam, I caught one of your three resources. 377 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,120 Start questioning who we are and what we're taught. 378 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:07,440 Were there two others hidden in there? 379 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,640 Because there was also like 20 others that I picked up on. 380 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,640 Were there three specific ones? 381 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,160 Well, I got a little bit off track, perhaps, because I was going to talk about a film called 382 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,160 The Matrix. 383 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,160 The Matrix. 384 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,160 There you go. 385 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,120 And when you think about it, if anyone hasn't seen The Matrix, you need to watch it because 386 00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:30,240 what it's really relating to was what I was saying is that what we think is real is quite 387 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,140 different to what is actually real. 388 00:22:32,140 --> 00:22:39,160 So in other words, our brain's perception is presenting to us a version of reality that 389 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,360 whether it's real or not, the point is it's what we think. 390 00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,680 It's not what necessarily actually is. 391 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:52,100 A simple version of this would be the people who assume, oh, Jackson doesn't work in business 392 00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:56,160 or can't work in business because he has long hair. 393 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:02,300 That is a reality that somebody can convince themselves of and really trap their body, 394 00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:06,000 their mind in, not realizing that no, that's not the case. 395 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,800 Richard Branson has long hair. 396 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,400 We put ourselves in these weird boxes of control. 397 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,600 We don't have to do that. 398 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,600 What's the other read? 399 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,600 What's the second resource? 400 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:21,200 Well, the second resource is a book that I discovered many years ago called A Rich Man's 401 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,640 Secret by Ken Roberts. 402 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,280 And we could talk about why this is, again, the reason why I think this is such a powerful 403 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,020 resource probably needs a little bit of explanation. 404 00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:38,520 But essentially what that book teaches you is how to live a natural biological life for 405 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,520 us. 406 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,520 And he does this, Liam. 407 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:48,040 I'm going to save you a connection on this because those of you listening in, the resource 408 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,560 comes from the master architect of his life. 409 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,520 And if you want to find out how to use that book to unlock your secrets, then my invitation 410 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,220 is to you is connect with Liam. 411 00:24:00,220 --> 00:24:01,220 Give him a contact. 412 00:24:01,220 --> 00:24:03,800 Find out why and how to use that book in the process. 413 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,040 I already trust your judgment on this, Liam, and I will probably follow up myself on this 414 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,040 book. 415 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,040 What's the third one, though? 416 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:16,760 Well, the third one also relates to actually it's my best friend. 417 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,800 It's my wisest advisor. 418 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,400 It's the person I always turn to when I want help or when I want the answer to any question. 419 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,420 And it always has the right answer. 420 00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:31,260 And that is my own innate intelligence. 421 00:24:31,260 --> 00:24:33,460 And some people call it your higher self. 422 00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:38,160 But actually, it's a biological resource and a tool that's a part of you, and it would 423 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,640 be good to explain it a little bit about what I mean because your brain actually has four 424 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,520 separate components. 425 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,880 And I've created a four-part brain model which explains this, which in a layman's term, without 426 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080 all the science, but it's all backed by science. 427 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:57,560 But essentially, you have a part of you that is there that when it's the way you're biologically 428 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:03,680 designed to live is with this part of your brain activated all of the time with a few 429 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240 exceptions which we can talk about. 430 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,560 But I call this part of the brain your natural creative brain. 431 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,800 And if we want to talk about it a little, you probably relate to the fact that the heel 432 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,280 gland, this is where it's centered. 433 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,800 And spiritual traditions, science is actually catching up to spiritual traditions to realize 434 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,240 there's an awful lot more to this part of the brain than we've ever realized. 435 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,960 What you mentioned before about gut feelings or whether you follow that inner voice, this 436 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,360 is all activated. 437 00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:35,680 That sensation or that tool, if you like, is activated in this part of the brain. 438 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:41,000 And this part of the brain also activates things like your creativity, your imagination. 439 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,920 It's where you see new opportunities. 440 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,200 It's where you get those aha moments. 441 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,840 We suddenly see something that you've never seen before and you realize that's something 442 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,720 really helped me in my life. 443 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,740 And it's where we get this intuition from where there's no logic behind it. 444 00:25:54,740 --> 00:25:57,360 We haven't sat down and we've tried to work something out. 445 00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,400 We just get this new idea. 446 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,940 All of these things come from this part of our brain. 447 00:26:01,940 --> 00:26:04,200 This is a biological thing. 448 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,640 And the interesting thing about all of those things we're talking about, it's also where 449 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,680 your motivation comes from. 450 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,760 And it's where great artists and performers, they've all described the state of being in 451 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,520 the flow or being in the zone where success is almost effortless. 452 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,000 They just do the right things. 453 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,560 If they're an athlete, they perform on a level where they're putting in the effort, but it's 454 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,920 like something else is helping them. 455 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:33,840 And if you talk to any songwriter or a composer, and throughout history, they've been asked 456 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,280 this question, where did the music come from? 457 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,600 Where did that great piece of music come from? 458 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,360 They all say, I've no idea. 459 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:41,720 It just came to me. 460 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,960 I just wrote it down. 461 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,600 I don't know where it came from. 462 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,360 This is all centered in this part of our brain. 463 00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:50,480 This is all activated in what's called the creative brain. 464 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,640 And when you have this part active in your life, that's when you thrive. 465 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,580 Because when you think about it, if you want to solve problems, if you want to see the 466 00:26:57,580 --> 00:27:01,960 right thing to do with your life, if you want to be on the right track, if you want to make 467 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:09,400 sure everything flows, you need motivation, creativity, imagination, aha moments, intuition, 468 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,520 inspiration. 469 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,920 You need all of those things. 470 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,120 But if you don't have those things, you stay stuck. 471 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:19,960 And the reason you don't have those things in your life all the time, and I'm sure we've 472 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,960 all experienced this occasionally, is because the way you're using your brain is you're 473 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,400 blocking that part of your brain. 474 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,560 You're activating a different part of your brain, which has a different purpose. 475 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,600 But when you activate that for the wrong purpose, which in other words, you try and run your 476 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,400 life without your creative brain, that's when you end up with problems. 477 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,240 That's when you end up stuck. 478 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,240 So and this is all scientific and biological. 479 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,200 It's also spiritual, because in the Bible, it says, do not worry about what you shall 480 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,520 eat, drink and wear. 481 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760 It will all be provided for you. 482 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,360 And it also says, seek first the kingdom of heaven and everything else will be added. 483 00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:57,640 And where's the kingdom of heaven? 484 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,040 The Bible tells you the kingdom of heaven is within you. 485 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,360 This is your creative brain. 486 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:07,440 This is your link to an intelligence beyond yourself that is both biological and beyond 487 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,060 biological. 488 00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:12,920 And it's how you thrive by accessing these resources. 489 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,240 But if you just sit there or not sit there, but if you don't activate that part of brain 490 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,280 and you're trying to force things to happen in your life and you're saying to yourself, 491 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,480 I'm so afraid. 492 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,600 What can I do? 493 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,600 What's the answer? 494 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,540 How do I solve this problem? 495 00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:29,060 What should my goals be? 496 00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:30,240 Why am I so unhappy? 497 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,040 Why can't I think straight? 498 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,860 If you're stuck in that state, it's not your fault. 499 00:28:34,860 --> 00:28:39,080 It's just that you've activated a different part of your brain other than you and you've 500 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,440 shut down your creative brain. 501 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,720 And that's why you stay stuck. 502 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,120 It really is as simple as biology. 503 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,600 The beautiful thing about those of you in the audience, you are closer to unlocking 504 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,760 this than most people in the world. 505 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,160 The fact that you're a visionary, that you're here and that you're listening to these types 506 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,080 of conversations, you haven't shut that down. 507 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,000 And the opportunity is to exercise it more and more. 508 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,920 I again can feel how powerful this is as a musician myself, as somebody who's been writing 509 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,880 songs since I was a kid. 510 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,200 It's easy to take for granted the superpowers that we may already have access to, especially 511 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,280 when we're just kind of lost in the shuffle of life itself. 512 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,360 My hope is that you hear and you embrace all the things that Liam are talking about right 513 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:31,520 now and that you look within yourself to activate this kingdom that he also talked about. 514 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,540 And it's not something you have to do. 515 00:29:34,540 --> 00:29:38,840 It is something that you have the tremendous opportunity to do. 516 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,440 And so learning how to lean into that. 517 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,160 Again, Liam's going to provide some greatness on this show today. 518 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,360 I've been sitting here imagining, Liam, I want to someday do like a three hour podcast 519 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:56,320 session with you, where we can just allow you to flow on all of this and explore fully, 520 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,400 kind of like Diary of a CEO style. 521 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,800 Great podcast, by the way, or what's his bucket? 522 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,280 Andrew Huberman, Joe Rogan. 523 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:10,000 I want to see you on those shows too, because you have this gift of being able to expound 524 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,680 upon experience over experience of how to connect all of this stuff. 525 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,760 And we just can't sum it up that fast. 526 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:23,600 So Vision Pros, I am really eating this up and I'm excited to dive in as much as we can 527 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:24,600 for it. 528 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,640 We're going to take a little bitty break and we're going to come back and dive deeper, 529 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,640 as deep as we can. 530 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,760 If you've got comments or questions, leave those too so that we can get to those. 531 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:41,240 And I got to say one last thing and that's I'm excited to plant the seed of passion pro.org 532 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:47,040 with Liam as well, because one of the things that we have unlocked, we have this silly 533 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,160 assessment that I created years ago. 534 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,600 And I mean, I was a 0.33 GPA kid, Liam. 535 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,720 I wasn't designed for school and for studies and all of that. 536 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,360 Yet I've given this assessment to a number of different leaders to see, like I saw them 537 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,160 as here way, way up higher than me. 538 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:10,920 And I was down here and they did this assessment for passions and it exploded a brand new vision 539 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,880 for them of, oh my gosh, I know what I want to do with my life now. 540 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,840 And I was like, wait, I just I wanted their feedback. 541 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,660 I wanted them to see if this is something that could help teenagers. 542 00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:25,280 But it's turned out to be a super powerful reality to help people unlock the brain and 543 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,280 unlock their purposes at greater levels. 544 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,400 So I anyway, I look forward to bringing that up. 545 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,400 I can't wait to dive in deeper. 546 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,040 I'm going to go for the break. 547 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,960 I'm starting to ramble and bromance a little bit. 548 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,020 But Liam, this has been absolutely

going to start with a quick question. 626 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:11,800 I'm going to start with a quick question. 627 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:19,640 God is God is everything so God and God is infinite. So therefore God is everything and God is also infinitely intelligent 628 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,400 so 629 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,120 Whether you call it God or whether you call it nature 630 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:29,480 We are talking about the same thing and both of those things have a purpose for our life 631 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:35,840 Which is for us to thrive and be the best that we can be from a spiritual Christian perspective or religious perspective 632 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:42,880 God doesn't want you to have problems in unhappiness in your life. God wants you to thrive it. You're here for this this great experience 633 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:50,360 But God can only give it to you through the the tools that it's God has given you which is using your brain the right way 634 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:57,700 And when it comes to prayer the essential difference between getting between thriving and not thriving is this thing? 635 00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:02,800 We talked about before it's it's fear. So if you've if you pray with a subconscious fear 636 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:08,640 Which in my case was well, I need to prove that that works because if I can prove that that works 637 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,680 Then I'm gonna be alright 638 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:15,560 I can use that anytime I like to get anything I want so all of my insecurities are going to go because I know 639 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,520 that I can I can you know, I I want to be a millionaire and 640 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:25,560 How how often do we see this people set a goal and they go to somebody who says I can show you how to achieve 641 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:30,960 Any goal? Yes, you can be a millionaire. Anybody can you know, but all they're doing is is 642 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,720 Honing in on people's fear because 643 00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:35,720 They're cultivating their fear 644 00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:37,720 So it comes down to your brain state 645 00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:42,920 So if the right way to pray is when you have no fear because then you know 646 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:50,000 Because when you know with certainty that your biological purpose two things one your biological purpose is to be happy 647 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,400 Not to struggle is to thrive in every possible way 648 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:59,480 If you know that's your biological purpose and you also know there's a five hundred percent chance that you're going to be happy 649 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,880 If you also know there's a five hundred trillion 650 00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:07,720 microprocessor that's designed naturally to make that happen 651 00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:13,480 then you're not going to have any fear and you're going to know that everything that happens your brain is going to make sure that 652 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,680 it's the right thing that happens at exactly the right time and 653 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:23,880 You're using all of these resources and then the actions that you take are always going to be the perfect actions because that because they're 654 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,720 Not going to be based on fear 655 00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:32,440 The next thing that you're just going to be in this thriving zone state without overthinking it and what we've got hung up on in 656 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:37,440 Society is this idea you have to know what you want. You have to figure it out 657 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,240 You have to have a vision for your life. No disrespect to your to your show 658 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:45,120 But but it's a it's a vision. Yes, you you can have a vision for your life 659 00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:48,760 But if it's based on a fear which means correct 660 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,720 I need some I need my life to be different to the way it is for me to be happy 661 00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:58,320 I need to have this money in my life and when I get it, then I'll be happy when I solve this problem 662 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,720 Then I'll be happy. That's all based on a fear 663 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:05,840 It's not based on understanding and a trust in something that is infinitely intelligent 664 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,600 That it's gonna make sure all the right things happen and that's what happened to me 665 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:15,160 It's when I got rid of that fear and I said because do you know what I essentially said when I lost everything I said 666 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,760 I give up. I don't know why this is happening. I don't know what to do 667 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:23,840 I don't care anymore if whatever's meant to be is meant to be so I gave up this attachment 668 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:29,040 I gave up my subconscious fears about things needing to be a certain way and that's when my creative brain 669 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:35,700 Which is you you very rightly point out is connected to your heart because this is the system it is from your brain 670 00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:37,700 But it's this standard system 671 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,120 We're not allowed that to actually do its natural job 672 00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,960 Then it could start to get me to make the right decisions 673 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:48,640 it could start to bring the right people into my life the right situations and 674 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,160 Come up with the right I came up with the right ideas 675 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:58,120 it could only start to really go to work when I did that when I allowed that that part to happen and 676 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:05,160 Could I just say one other thing about prayer and if we're talking about that and it relates to this whole idea of goal-setting 677 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,720 Because people say to me 678 00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:13,720 We have this absolute obsession with goals, you know, everybody says if you need you need to have your goals 679 00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:15,720 You need to be 680 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:20,200 Have a plan for your life, you know to make sure that you need to figure out what you want 681 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,000 well, the funny thing was when I 682 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,800 That's what I had in my old stressed life was I had all the books and the plans 683 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,860 I've been to so many goal-setting workshops and read so many books 684 00:47:29,860 --> 00:47:33,200 I had all these techniques on how to set goals and I had all these books of 685 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,500 Goals and visualization boards and all of these things 686 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:41,880 But my life was a complete mess and one of the things I did in my new life, which I still do 687 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,980 Is I don't set any goals and I you know 688 00:47:45,980 --> 00:47:48,300 I know when I was on the boat in the Greek islands 689 00:47:48,300 --> 00:47:53,940 I said to myself how come when I did all the goal-setting and the hard work and they're trying to figure it all out 690 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,480 My life was a mess now. I'm not setting any goals. I'm not going after any opportunities 691 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:06,380 Thing it's like if you want to use another way of describing it instead of chasing after success success was chasing after me 692 00:48:06,380 --> 00:48:13,020 Things were just showing up on my life and they've happened with such frequency that I got to the point of saying there is something else 693 00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:15,020 Going on here. This isn't just luck and 694 00:48:15,540 --> 00:48:20,700 What it comes down to is this idea of how nature works and how God works through you if you like 695 00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:23,140 And if you think about the laws of nature 696 00:48:24,140 --> 00:48:28,660 And going back millions of years nature has had a long time to figure out 697 00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:35,060 Exactly how to make all of this work how to make the world work in the most in a way that keeps it going if you like 698 00:48:35,060 --> 00:48:39,220 Makes it thrive one of the things what I call one of the three laws of 699 00:48:40,180 --> 00:48:43,140 natural success of the way nature works is the law of 700 00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:46,540 Conservation of energy 701 00:48:46,540 --> 00:48:53,260 Everything in nature is designed to give the maximum amount of result with the minimum amount of expenditure of energy and that comes back obviously 702 00:48:53,260 --> 00:48:57,420 To natural processes that you know millions of years ago for us as humans 703 00:48:57,420 --> 00:48:59,420 We might even been able to find food for a week 704 00:48:59,420 --> 00:49:05,340 So we had to find a way to conserve all of our energy so that we still had the energy not only to survive but to 705 00:49:05,340 --> 00:49:07,780 Catch the food when it showed up a week later or whatever 706 00:49:08,180 --> 00:49:13,860 So all of nature operates on this and the more you study and I'm lucky because I'm in nature all the time traveling around all 707 00:49:13,860 --> 00:49:15,860 the time I 708 00:49:16,020 --> 00:49:19,900 See and I really observe this everything is being is thriving 709 00:49:19,900 --> 00:49:25,140 It was but not with effort not with struggle if you watch a bird or an animal or an insect 710 00:49:25,140 --> 00:49:29,860 It's just doing its thing, you know, and it's finding the food when it needs to it's not a struggle 711 00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:34,220 So there is this efficiency. So if we think about it from our own perspective 712 00:49:34,820 --> 00:49:38,900 What is the most efficient way biologically to make sure that we thrive? 713 00:49:39,740 --> 00:49:40,900 well 714 00:49:40,900 --> 00:49:44,500 The way it works is imagine if you did know what you wanted 715 00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:49,820 So when I was lying on my mother's sofa if I had used one of my fancy techniques 716 00:49:50,340 --> 00:49:53,940 Or you know to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life 717 00:49:53,940 --> 00:49:59,300 And and I'd come up with this what's really going to make you happy Liam and make you thrive 718 00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:04,660 Is you're gonna go sailing around Europe for eight years and then you're going to buy a motor home and you're gonna buy another 719 00:50:04,660 --> 00:50:09,000 And you're going to be learning about all this stuff to do with natural struggle free success 720 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,620 And you're gonna start sharing these ideas with people and you're gonna learn about the brain and things in ways that other people haven't that you 721 00:50:14,620 --> 00:50:16,820 Haven't thought of what other people haven't thought of 722 00:50:17,780 --> 00:50:21,460 Most people maybe and you're gonna start sharing these ideas 723 00:50:21,460 --> 00:50:26,340 you're gonna be a teacher and you're going to help people from around the world to really see life in a different way and 724 00:50:26,620 --> 00:50:30,200 Release all of the struggle and start to see much better results in their life 725 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,700 And you're gonna be talking to amazing people like Jackson 726 00:50:33,980 --> 00:50:40,100 Callum from all around the world and sharing these ideas with people now if my brain if I'd written that down 727 00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:42,100 I would have said that's utterly ridiculous 728 00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:47,660 You know, what are you talking about for two reasons one is I never thought it was possible sailing 729 00:50:47,660 --> 00:50:53,660 Yeah, well, I sort of yeah, I have done some sailing but you know, I don't know about sailing around Europe or the world or whatever 730 00:50:53,660 --> 00:50:57,060 And teaching who you know, I don't know how to teach anything. I don't know 731 00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:03,140 I've had staff training for in my in businesses, but I've never really taught people 732 00:51:03,140 --> 00:51:07,540 It doesn't really appeal to me and the brain well, you know, who's interested in that? 733 00:51:07,980 --> 00:51:14,060 So if my brain had said that I firstly wouldn't have thought it was possible and the other reason it was I didn't even know 734 00:51:14,060 --> 00:51:15,580 That's what I wanted 735 00:51:15,580 --> 00:51:21,380 It was way out of my idea and I've talked to many successful people about this idea and I've said to them 736 00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:26,820 What you're doing now and all the success is that really something that you ever thought you would get and they all say pretty 737 00:51:26,820 --> 00:51:31,380 Much not really. I don't know how this happened because wasn't on my goals list 738 00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:37,240 You know, I met a multi-millionaire a while ago and he said he had a goal so that would have limited him 739 00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:42,380 So what your brain does is it doesn't show you that because what are you doing? 740 00:51:42,380 --> 00:51:46,700 Well, you have to wrap it up Liam, but yes, those of you listening in 741 00:51:46,700 --> 00:51:49,480 This is why I want the three to four hour podcast Liam 742 00:51:50,020 --> 00:51:57,240 It's not a fair context when I have to play color commenter and only talk about the things they disagree with there's so much there 743 00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:58,540 That I do agree with as well 744 00:51:58,540 --> 00:52:04,280 and my hope is that all of you listening will meditate and ponder the healthy balance of as we talked about prayer and 745 00:52:04,900 --> 00:52:10,460 Understanding that it only works according to our ability to exercise it and understand the depths of it 746 00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:14,100 The same is true with goals goals are fantastic in my opinion 747 00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:20,820 Maybe I will join Liam's boat someday with in relation to that and really move all the way against goals 748 00:52:20,820 --> 00:52:22,820 But there's a big difference between 749 00:52:23,380 --> 00:52:31,180 Unhealthy relationships with goals and having healthy relationships with setting goals and most of us are doing it wrong 750 00:52:31,780 --> 00:52:36,820 You know, and so if we don't learn to look at the perspectives differently 751 00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:42,060 We might not then there's Jim or for debt who you know wrote that, you know as a kid 752 00:52:42,060 --> 00:52:47,700 He was going to be in the NBA, you know and Jim or for debt did he became college basketball player the year? 753 00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:51,460 He didn't make it to the NBA didn't maybe he should have wrote that he was gonna be the best in the NBA 754 00:52:51,780 --> 00:52:54,820 But I love Jim or grateful for his story 755 00:52:54,900 --> 00:53:00,620 So there is opportunity for manifestation and there is opportunity for moving our lives forward 756 00:53:00,620 --> 00:53:07,220 But these are incredible superpowers that can hurt your life as much as they can help just like any other 757 00:53:07,540 --> 00:53:13,220 Resource that exists a cliff can be a beautiful place to take a picture from and you can fall off of it, too 758 00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:18,220 So we we've got too much to explore in order to really wrap it up 759 00:53:18,220 --> 00:53:20,860 But I really do like I'm going to be exploring 760 00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:25,520 Your resources Liam.
