  Speaker 1: Greatness. It's just something we made up somehow. We've come
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to believe that greatness is a gift reserved for a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: chosen few, for prodigies, for superstars, and the rest of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: us can only stand by watching. You can forget that greatness.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's not some rare DNA strand, it's not some precious thing.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Greatness is no more unique to us than breathing. We're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: all capable of it, all of us.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I always believe leaving those stone unturned that's what makes
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you a champion. When you're out there partying, bossing around.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Someone out there at the same time is wrooking hog
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: someone is getting smarter, and someone is winning. You never
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: want to fail because he didn't work hard enough. But
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: if you want to win, there's absolutely no way around
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: hog hog Brook, no pain, no game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: We're wired differently.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: We have to set a goal that if we hit
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: that goal, we're guaranteed to make sure all that other
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: stuff in the middle is going to happen. Why three
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning, why don't you sleep? My appetite,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: my appetitie et.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I want more.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I can do more if I accomplish this without a father,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: if I accomplished this with my mom being a teenage mom.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: If I accomplish this as a high school dropout, how
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: many of.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: You believe in your life that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: Your worst day can become your best day if you're
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: turning around.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: If I can accomplish these things from this start, now
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: that I'm at this place, knowing what I.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: Know now, what can I call it?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: And I want you to think about that. I want
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you to think about more than just what you're going
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: to do financially, more than what you're gonna do in
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: this industry in the next three years, right, more than that,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: what's your appetite? What are you gon want you to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: do that will ensure that when the long clock goes off,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: that you're already up ten to twenty minutes before.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: You larm clock brows like, Wow.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You gotta grind, grind, grind.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: You gotta go through setbacks and disappointments.
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: You gotta go through this.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about grids, I'm talking about endurance, just having
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: more stambin than they got in order.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: To get to the next level.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: You gotta sacrifice, you gotta take risks. You gotta be
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: willing to do by faith whatever.
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: You're asked to do.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: What's the truth with There are no shortcuts.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Of success, there are no.
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: Just house to success.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: It's always sweat, it's always blood, it's always tears.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: You always have to give all to be the best.
• 3:00
  Speaker 10: It's important to remember. We talk about content is king.
• 3:03
  Speaker 10: We hear that a lot, and I think if content
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: is king, then context is the kingdom. And even when
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: you forget someone's name, which you know, and we've talked
• 3:12
  Speaker 10: about in the past, and how important a skill it
• 3:14
  Speaker 10: is to show someone you care by remembering them, one
• 3:17
  Speaker 10: of the questions you ask yourself is where do I
• 3:20
  Speaker 10: know this person from? Because with the war creates the
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: context and then you often the memory is there also
• 3:26
  Speaker 10: as well.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.
• 3:28
  Speaker 11: I want to talk a bit more about that because
• 3:30
  Speaker 11: you know, as our devices get smarter and they become
• 3:33
  Speaker 11: more of who we are, that whole thing of why
• 3:36
  Speaker 11: do we need memory is something I'd really like to
• 3:39
  Speaker 11: revisit today, because you know, five years, ten years from now,
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: we'll still have you know, will be partial cyborgs. Maybe
• 3:46
  Speaker 11: at that point I speak to Elon Musk, but yet
• 3:49
  Speaker 11: the memory is still really important. Yes, and I'd love
• 3:52
  Speaker 11: to talk about that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 10: I've done and I'm looking forward to going deep in that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: I do trainings for Google, and it's you know, they're
• 4:01
  Speaker 10: the organ are organizing the world's information, and my mission
• 4:05
  Speaker 10: really is helping people to remember the important parts of
• 4:08
  Speaker 10: it because memory is a force multiplier.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: It's one of those things.
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: I challenge anyone to think of anything that they do
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: or want accomplish that doesn't require memory anything, whether it's
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: it's kinesthetic.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Body memory or remembering.
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: Like if we lost look at the other end, if
• 4:23
  Speaker 10: we forgot half of what we know or new half
• 4:27
  Speaker 10: the words, half the people, half of our expertise, we
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: won't be very functional. And so imagine if we could
• 4:34
  Speaker 10: double our capacity to learn in a fraction the time,
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: then we become extremely productive and powerful. And I'm not
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: talking about frantic fast when I teach people how to
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: read two or three times faster. I mean in efficiency
• 4:46
  Speaker 10: and effectiveness. You know, you can imagine when when you
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: were great documentary by the way, I your mind, when
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: you're training for something your body, if you had some
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: kind of physical challenge to or let's say we're walking
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: up a hill, you could do it on a level
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: of efficiency and effectiveness than somebody who didn't wasn't in
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: this as physically in shape because you are you are,
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: You're strong and you don't have to use as much energy.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: The same thing when I when I read.
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: Whether it's it's reading a book a day, or people
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: see me on stage. One hundred people stand up and
• 5:19
  Speaker 10: introduce themselves and you know, recite everyone's.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Name or large numbers or memory numbers. They say, everybody.
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: Everyone could do that, and it's not something There's no
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: such thing as a good or bad memory.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: There's a trained.
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: Memory and an untrained and untrained memory. And this works
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: whether no matter your age, your background, your career, your education,
• 5:39
  Speaker 10: your financial situation, your gender, your history, your IQ, none
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: that matters. What matters is just like with anything, is
• 5:48
  Speaker 10: is focus and putting in the work. And so it
• 5:51
  Speaker 10: might not always be easy, but it's it's so it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: so worth it. It's like describing to somebody what a
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: rainbow looks like that has never seen a rainbow, or
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: describing what a rose smells like. There's never really, there's
• 6:03
  Speaker 10: never smelled a rose. And that's I believe people. My
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: mission is I believe people have genius inside of them.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about an IQ or number.
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: I mean, they have strengths and talents, and I want
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: to be able to create an environment where they could
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: they could let it out, because the world needs more
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: of that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: My whole belief about the meaning of life, it's not
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: the exact right word, but is to find out how
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: many skills I can acquire that have utility, then put
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: that utility to the test and service of something bigger
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: than myself. So that's like my mission in life, right,
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: So what are things that I should understand about the
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: brain that would allow me to acquire more skills, acquire
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: them faster, put them to use more effectively, Like, what
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: are either realizations about the brain or training techniques that
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: I should know about?
• 6:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean a big part of this has to
• 6:56
  Speaker 12: do with the fact that we live our lives mostly
• 6:59
  Speaker 12: on auto pilot unless we put a lot of effort
• 7:01
  Speaker 12: into not doing that, and so.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: So just by getting off autopilot, I'm but wouldn't that
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: So that's ultimately just sort of making new connections. So
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: examples that you give oftentimes drive home a new way,
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: brush your teeth with your left hand, and I certainly
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: do feel the impact of that, like from a stave
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: off neurogenerative decline. That seems to make a lot of sense.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: And you've talked about the nuns who donated the brains
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: to science. Why, I don't know. That's incredible. And all
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: of them, right, had like early stage dementia, but they
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: showed no.
• 7:33
  Speaker 12: Signs, not all of them, but a much bigger percentage
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: than anyone thought about. A third of them, wow, had Alzheimer's,
• 7:39
  Speaker 12: but it wasn't clear when they were alive because they
• 7:42
  Speaker 12: were so cognitively active, because they were doing stuff. They
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: were First of all, they were embedded in the social
• 7:46
  Speaker 12: network because they were living in the contents, and so
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: they had responsibilities and conversations and so on. And that
• 7:52
  Speaker 12: made it so that even though their brain was falling
• 7:54
  Speaker 12: apart with Alzheimer's, nobody knew it. They didn't have the
• 7:58
  Speaker 12: cognitive effects.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: There is at the center of your upcoming book, Live Wire.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 12: Know, the theme of that book is that you can't
• 8:05
  Speaker 12: really think about the brain as hardware, and you can't
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: think about it as software. It's this weird other thing
• 8:10
  Speaker 12: that I call livewar, which is that it's constantly reconfiguring
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: its own circuitry. So everything that you learn, every little
• 8:19
  Speaker 12: thing changes the pattern of circuitry in your brain. So
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: when you first learned that my name was David, you
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: know that's underpinned by a physical change in the structure
• 8:29
  Speaker 12: of your brain, which is wild. I mean, every single
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: thing that you learn.
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: I can tell you can make your brain work better
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: in a week. You can make your heart more coherent.
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: You can change the field around your body. You can
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: strengthen your immune system, you can change your gene expression,
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: you can lengthen your life, you can create so many
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: oxidative changes in your cells. We have great research to
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: prove that that's the truth of who you are. That's
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: the truth, that miracle within you. That evidence is the
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: backbone that gives people permission to try it out. It's
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: the language. Then you see someone standing on the stage
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: telling their story and testimony, whether it's stage four cancer,
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: whether it's MS, whether it's blind people seeing deaf people
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: hearing it, you can't go back to being the same
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: person after that. Evidence is the loudest voice. And so
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: then when we begin to make those inroads and the
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: footprint exists in consciousness and you're witnessing it in three
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: dimensional reality, the illusion of limitation begins to change. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: now all you want to do is you crave the unknown.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: So people in our work don't get up in the
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: morning and go, oh god, I gotta do my meditation. No,
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: they're not doing that. Their body is waking them up,
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: saying get out of bed because they don't want the
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: magic to end. And when you start seeing the gap
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: between cause and effect, thought and experience closing down, you're
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: moving closer to the divine. And when that happens, all
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: the things you thought you want you no longer want
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: because the overcoming process leading to who you become. Nobody
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: can take that away from you. So we practice it
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: in our seated meditations. We practice it standing and walking.
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: You better walk as it, and you better be able
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: to embody it and practice doing it with your eyes open.
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: So when you return back to your life, when you
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: walk from your house to your car, you're you're walking
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: in the energy of your future. And if you keep
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: doing that, it's going to become a habit and people
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: are going to start looking at you going something's different
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: about you. You know why, because you're no longer showing
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: up equal to their memory of you. Something's different about you.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: You're unpredictable. It's not what you're saying any longer, it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: who you are. And so that person then is off
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: for timeline. They're not headed to that same future. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: all I want to do and a week long event
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: is bump everybody off that timeline into a new future.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Some people huge degrees, you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Know, stage four cancers, tumors disappearing. You listen to that story,
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: a person on the stage, your next meditation. You are
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: not going to go half in. You're going to go
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: all in. And that's all I want is I want
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: people to go all in. I want to provide people
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: with my greatest understanding of the truth and then numerous
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: opportunities to experience it. Nothing more, and when the magic
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: starts to happen, it's beyond way bigger than me. It's
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: beyond my control.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: I won't.
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: I want to do is provide the environment where they
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: feel safe enough to begin to create.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: When does no safety in that people perform better in
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: sports and everything else if you don't have a plan B.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: So we have to pay more attention to the negative
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: because the negative can stop people who are trying to
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: make a difficult life decision.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: And maybe we don't need ten thousand hours of practice
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: and courage. But we could become cognizant of how we
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: let fear manifest itself in our daily lives and instead
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: counteract that, so we could get past our fears and
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: do the things that we're meant to do and be
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: the people we're meant to be.
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: See, if you know what your life work is, I
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: encourage you.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: To start working on it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: If you can't do it all at one time.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Do just a little bit of it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: A lot of people are looking at this the wrong way.
• 12:30
  Speaker 14: There is a blessing in everything. Behind every moment of
• 12:34
  Speaker 14: adversity in your life, there is a blessing and a lesson.
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: You can be afraid of success. You can be afraid
• 12:42
  Speaker 15: of failure. You can be afraid of looking ridiculous. You
• 12:46
  Speaker 15: can be afraid of change, either positive or negative change.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: The only way to deal with fear that I found
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: in my life is a couple of ways.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: One of those.
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: Ways is to turn it on itself. If you don't
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: get rid of fear, then us fear fear or it
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: uses you.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: It's that simple. And there is something that had been
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: on my heart and something that I had been thinking
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: about but had long let fear gett in the way
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: of and in doing so, I realized that I had
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: come into a whole new world. I had come up
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: with my plan for how I was going to change
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: the world.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: About the things that you do that you shouldn't do,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: that you know you shouldn't do beyond the shadow of
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: a doubt, Right, there's some things like that that's bad
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: habits and poor aim and all of the resentment and
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: hatred and aggression and unresolved conflicts and all those things
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: that are dementing you and warping you. And then think, Okay,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: those things get the apprehend man, They get the apprehend
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: and they take you the worst possible place you could go.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: You know, you don't magnify the degree to which the
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: pain ought to be affecting you. And so really what
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: he means in that is, listen, you're going to get
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: out of your life.
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: What you accept.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: That's really difficult for people that think to understand is
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: what you think you're worth, and what you're going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: tolerate is absolutely what you're going to bring into your
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: life and what the outward part of your life is
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: going to look.
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: So I'm saying that as you begin to look at
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: where you want to go if you want to make
• 14:04
  Speaker 13: it today, and things are changing so fast, you have
• 14:07
  Speaker 13: to literally understand still. I'm saying that you've got to
• 14:11
  Speaker 13: make some conscious effort to begin to work to develop.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: You, or I was going to be doing a lot
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: of things that scared me all the time. And it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: something that over the past year and a half of
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: my life I have been so grateful for, especially because
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: I've been able to live my mantra.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I've been designing and redesigning and redesigning and redesigning right
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and looking at the blueprint called me and what works
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and what doesn't work, and embracing what works and embracing
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: what didn't work.
