1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,960
ever feel lost.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:01,460
Yeah.

3
00:00:01,460 --> 00:00:03,800
Like you're in a maze, but instead of walls, it's like,

4
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,800
I've choices.

5
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,500
Yeah.

6
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:07,200
And you're trying to find the paths that, you know,

7
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,600
leads you to your goals and all that.

8
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,800
I've been there.

9
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,800
Well, what if there was an app?

10
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,300
An app that could like help you actually see your dreams.

11
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:16,100
Hmm.

12
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,900
And then, on top of that,

13
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,100
give you the skills you need to actually reach those dreams.

14
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:22,900
Okay.

15
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:24,900
Maybe even like through a tech career.

16
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:25,700
Interesting.

17
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,400
We're diving deep into something called, uh,

18
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,000
life culture audit.

19
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,300
Life culture audit.

20
00:00:32,300 --> 00:00:32,500
Yeah.

21
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,700
And this app is making some pretty big claims.

22
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:35,200
I bet.

23
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,600
We found it on YouTube actually.

24
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,200
How cool.

25
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:37,800
There's a video.

26
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,200
It's called, uh, life culture audit.

27
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,300
What could it do for you?

28
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:43,100
Okay.

29
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,600
It's from a channel called Automation Works.

30
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,200
Catchy.

31
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,700
So get ready because we're going to unpack this whole thing.

32
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:51,500
Vision boards, puzzle mazes,

33
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,100
even your personality gets involved.

34
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:53,700
All right.

35
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:54,500
Let's get into it.

36
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:55,100
I know, right?

37
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:56,200
Sounds kind of crazy.

38
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,100
Well, you know, what strikes me right away is how this app

39
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,000
is using visualization,

40
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,800
which a lot of successful people,

41
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,400
they really believe in that, right?

42
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,000
I guess so.

43
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,300
Yeah.

44
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,300
Like picturing your success.

45
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:07,900
Yeah.

46
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:09,900
And this app takes that idea,

47
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:10,800
the vision board,

48
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,200
which a lot of people are familiar with,

49
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,800
and it makes it digital.

50
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,500
Right.

51
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:16,200
But it goes even further.

52
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,900
It's not just about seeing your goals.

53
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:21,600
It's about giving you the tools to actually make them happen.

54
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,300
Yeah, exactly.

55
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:25,400
And the video breaks it down into like three main parts.

56
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,100
Okay.

57
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:27,000
The first one is,

58
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,400
well, it's called the vision board.

59
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,200
Makes sense.

60
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Yeah.

61
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,800
But it's not like just throwing a bunch of pictures on a screen.

62
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,400
Yeah.

63
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,400
It's more about like really making your goals real.

64
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:37,900
Okay.

65
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:38,900
How so?

66
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:41,100
You can write down what you want to achieve,

67
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,700
then you find images that represent those goals.

68
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:45,200
Right.

69
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,900
You can resize the pictures,

70
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,200
rearrange them,

71
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,000
and then get this,

72
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,800
you can even set it as your screensaver.

73
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,100
So you see it every day.

74
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:52,600
Exactly.

75
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Like a daily reminder to keep you going.

76
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,100
That's actually pretty clever.

77
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,000
Like a constant nudge in the right direction.

78
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,500
Right.

79
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,300
But then it gets even more interesting with the,

80
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:02,900
it's called sensei games.

81
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:04,400
Sensei games.

82
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,500
What's that?

83
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,700
So it's this puzzle maze.

84
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:09,500
And they say it's designed to,

85
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:10,600
and this is a quote,

86
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200
mimic the thought process of an algorithm.

87
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Whoa.

88
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,200
Hold on.

89
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,900
So how does that even work?

90
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:17,500
Well,

91
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,000
you have to guide a robot through this maze,

92
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,100
but you do it using these directional blocks.

93
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,700
Like coding blocks.

94
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:25,500
Kind of.

95
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:26,900
And if you do it right,

96
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:29,800
the app actually creates Java script code.

97
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,900
No way.

98
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:31,800
Seriously.

99
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,600
I'm serious.

100
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,500
Pretty cool, huh?

101
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:34,800
That's impressive.

102
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,000
But is it actually teaching you how to code?

103
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
That's a good question.

104
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,200
Like real coding.

105
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,300
Yeah.

106
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:43,900
Well, maybe not like a full blown program or anything.

107
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:44,300
Right.

108
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,300
But I think it's more about,

109
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:45,700
you know,

110
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:47,500
getting familiar with the basics.

111
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:47,700
Yeah.

112
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,100
Like the logic behind it all.

113
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:49,700
Exactly.

114
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,300
Like thinking in steps,

115
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:53,100
solving problems in a specific order,

116
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,500
kind of like an algorithm does.

117
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:54,700
Okay.

118
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,600
So maybe it's not making you a coding expert right away,

119
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,400
but it could be a really good introduction.

120
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:58,900
Right.

121
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,600
Like dipping your toes in the water before you jump in the pool.

122
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,400
Makes sense.

123
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,900
And it seems like this app is trying to get people interested in tech jobs.

124
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:06,500
Right?

125
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:06,900
Yeah.

126
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:07,700
It does seem that way.

127
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,100
Which leads us to the third part of the app.

128
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,600
And this is where it gets pretty insightful.

129
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,800
They have something called the Big Five Personality Exam.

130
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,900
Big Five.

131
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:17,600
Yeah.

132
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,300
Have you heard of that?

133
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:18,900
I think so.

134
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:19,400
Bigly.

135
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,000
It's a personality test.

136
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,300
50 questions.

137
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,400
It looks at like five main parts of your personality.

138
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,900
And then it gives you this like workplace profile.

139
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:28,800
A profile.

140
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,600
What for?

141
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
It's supposed to help you figure out like what kind of career

142
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,100
would be a good fit for you.

143
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:35,700
So it's not just about setting goals then.

144
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,900
It's about matching those goals to who you actually are.

145
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:39,600
Exactly.

146
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,300
That's pretty cool.

147
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,300
It's like having a career counselor right in your phone.

148
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:44,300
I like that.

149
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,200
So you get to see your vision, try out some skills,

150
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,100
and then figure out what kind of work environment you actually thrive in.

151
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:50,400
Yeah.

152
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,300
They're really trying to paint the full picture.

153
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,800
And at the end of the video, they tell you how to get the app.

154
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Oh.

155
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,600
It's super easy.

156
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,000
There's a QR code you could scan.

157
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Takes you right to the app store.

158
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Google Play and Apple.

159
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,100
Yeah, both.

160
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,900
They're making it pretty simple to get started.

161
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:09,600
But I got to ask, do you think an app can really change you like that?

162
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Like create a new you.

163
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Yeah.

164
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Can it really show you the way to a fulfilling life?

165
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,700
I think it can be a good starting point.

166
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:19,200
Okay.

167
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,500
It's like a guide, you know?

168
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,700
It gives you the tools and the information.

169
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:23,300
Right.

170
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,000
But in the end, it's really up to you to actually do something with it.

171
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You have to put in the work.

172
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,700
Exactly.

173
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:29,700
You have to take action.

174
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:33,500
The app might give you the spark, but you got to keep the fire going.

175
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,900
That's a good way to put it.

176
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,300
So I'm curious, what about you?

177
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,300
How much would you trust in apps advice?

178
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:40,900
Hmm.

179
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:42,200
That's a tough one.

180
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,500
I guess it depends, right?

181
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,200
On what?

182
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Like what kind of advice it's giving and how much it aligns with, you know,

183
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,700
my own gut feeling.

184
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:50,900
Yeah, that makes sense.

185
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,200
It's definitely something to think about though.

186
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,900
Like how much influence are we willing to give these apps?

187
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:56,300
Definitely food for thought.

188
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:57,700
Thanks for diving deep with me.

189
00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:58,600
