  Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
• 0:05
  helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
• 0:09
  flow without sacrificing results.
• 0:11
  Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
• 0:15
  according to your human design.
• 0:17
  I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
• 0:22
  Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everyone.
• 0:25
  I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and we are here for installment number four
• 0:30
  of our profile series for human design.
• 0:32
  So human design profile is one of my favorite pieces of human design,
• 0:37
  because I think that it gives you the biggest bang for your buck as far as
• 0:40
  really being able to embody your design.
• 0:43
  Like I've said here on the show before, profile falls into what
• 0:46
  I call the human design trifecta.
• 0:49
  These three pillars that everything sits on in order to work and function properly.
• 0:56
  If you don't have these three pieces dialed in, then all of
• 0:59
  the other stuff that you're doing is not really going to work.
• 1:02
  It's going to feel off.
• 1:03
  It's probably going to be confusing and you're going to really be stuck
• 1:07
  in your head about these other things because you're going to say,
• 1:10
  I feel like I'm learning a lot.
• 1:11
  I feel like I'm dialing in a lot.
• 1:13
  I'm trying to understand my design, but it's not working.
• 1:17
  And really the reason for that is embodiment.
• 1:20
  You're not embodying it.
• 1:21
  You're thinking about it.
• 1:23
  You're trying to understand it.
• 1:25
  And this isn't something to necessarily purely understand.
• 1:29
  It is meant to be embodied.
• 1:31
  It's meant to be used.
• 1:32
  It's who you become.
• 1:34
  And of all the pieces of human design where this concept of becoming is easiest
• 1:41
  to understand, is easiest to step into, I think profile hits that on the head.
• 1:47
  Of course, we get strategy and authority with our type.
• 1:50
  Strategy tells us how our energy is used.
• 1:53
  This is that trifecta that I'm talking about.
• 1:55
  The three pieces of the trifecta are your human design type.
• 2:00
  Tells you how your energy is used, it tells you how your energy is
• 2:03
  expressed, it tells you how you get into gear, tells you how the universe
• 2:06
  speaks to you through your strategy.
• 2:08
  Then we have your authority, how do I make decisions, what's
• 2:10
  right for me and what's not.
• 2:12
  Those are the mechanical things that we're doing.
• 2:14
  But the profile is the role that you are here to play in
• 2:17
  this movie called your life.
• 2:20
  And so I think there's something inherent in role that says
• 2:25
  this is who I'm here to be.
• 2:26
  Not just the things that I'm here to do or think about or understand.
• 2:31
  Now, doing does lead to being in this case.
• 2:34
  We do have to start to live as our role, as our profile.
• 2:39
  Live out the truth of who we are and who we're here to be.
• 2:43
  And through that process of living it, we start to become it
• 2:47
  more and more every single day.
• 2:49
  So that's what this series is all about.
• 2:51
  We're highlighting each of the six lines in each episode.
• 2:55
  We're doing six of these for the six lines of profile.
• 2:58
  Now, everybody gets two numbers in their profile.
• 3:02
  You get one in the front and then you get a forward slash and then a second number.
• 3:06
  So everybody's gonna get two of these episodes that pertain to them.
• 3:09
  5/1 is my profile.
• 3:12
  So the episode on the 1 line and the episode on the 5
• 3:15
  line will be relevant to me.
• 3:18
  So paying attention to what those numbers are for you.
• 3:21
  What are your two numbers?
• 3:22
  And you're going to pay close attention to those two episodes.
• 3:25
  Now, if you have family or friends that are really close to you and you know what
• 3:29
  their design is, it can be really helpful to understand what all of these lines
• 3:33
  mean, how you interact, understand how you are different and how you might be the
• 3:38
  same, where might there be compliments, understanding everybody's profile
• 3:42
  lines can be incredibly eye opening.
• 3:45
  So if you have a one line and somebody else has a one line,
• 3:47
  that's a commonality that you share.
• 3:49
  You probably have similarities or a way that you see and move through
• 3:53
  the world or things that are just at their core important to you.
• 3:58
  I tend to vibe with other one lines and other five lines.
• 4:01
  There's just a natural thing of just, I get you.
• 4:04
  That's where that comes from because it comes from a shared human experience.
• 4:08
  Something that is similar.
• 4:10
  So, before we get started diving into the specifics around the four line and
• 4:14
  all of that, I want to call out that we do have a free guide on profile.
• 4:19
  There's two aspects of profile that are really important.
• 4:22
  The living, that archetype of who you're here to be.
• 4:25
  And then there's that business side of your profile, which is associated with
• 4:30
  your brand, which is associated with your brand voice, how you show up in your
• 4:33
  business can be a direct reflection of living out that human design archetype of
• 4:39
  your profile lines and of your profile.
• 4:42
  So if you want to know what your brand voice is, what I call your X
• 4:45
  Factor, tuning into your X Factor, if you would like to dive into that,
• 4:49
  we have a free guide for you called finding your X Factor by Design.
• 4:52
  All you have to do is go on to Instagram, go to my profile, I'm
• 4:56
  @NicoleLainoOfficial, and DM me the word X Factor, all one word, the letter X
• 5:01
  and then the word Factor, all together, no spaces or dashes or anything.
• 5:06
  DM me that word and we will send you the link to the free guide.
• 5:09
  Or you could go to nicolelaino.com/xfactor, spelled exactly
• 5:12
  the same way, and you can download it straight away there on the website.
• 5:16
  We also have a fun contest for you.
• 5:19
  If you would like to be interviewed on this show, if you would like to have
• 5:23
  a little mini human design reading on the show, ask me the questions that you
• 5:26
  have about your specific human design.
• 5:28
  You're wondering how all of this relates to you, your business, your life, your
• 5:32
  kids, whatever questions you have, you can come and be a guest and we will go through
• 5:37
  your chart together here on the show.
• 5:39
  And all you have to do is share the show.
• 5:42
  Share the series, take a little screenshot, share it to your
• 5:45
  Instagram profile, tag me.
• 5:46
  Like I said, I'm @NicoleLainoOfficial and that's your entry.
• 5:49
  That's all you have to do.
• 5:50
  Subscribe to the show and then share that on your Instagram stories and let us know
• 5:55
  what you're loving about this series.
• 5:57
  All right, now let's dive into the four line and a little bit more about profile.
• 6:02
  So profile is what helps you make your way in the world.
• 6:06
  A lot of people come to me and they say, I want to know my purpose.
• 6:09
  I want to get in tune with my purpose.
• 6:10
  What is my purpose?
• 6:11
  I think human design can show me that.
• 6:13
  And they want to live more in alignment with what feels right
• 6:18
  to them and what they feel like they were put on this earth to do.
• 6:21
  Some people have an inkling of what that is and other people have less of that.
• 6:26
  And they're hoping that the chart will show them what that is.
• 6:30
  But it's one thing to know where the treasure is buried, where
• 6:35
  that purpose path is leading us.
• 6:37
  It's another to walk it, and to do it a certain way.
• 6:41
  You cannot live out your purpose if you are not being authentically you.
• 6:49
  So when we give you your purpose path, we tell you what overall, the theme
• 6:52
  of your life is about, and that's what your incarnation cross can tell you
• 6:56
  and the other elements of your chart.
• 6:58
  These are all things that I go into when I do a business or a purpose reading.
• 7:02
  We go into that in a very deep way, where I go through all of
• 7:05
  the activations in your chart.
• 7:07
  But again, that's just knowledge.
• 7:09
  In order to live your purpose, you have to be living authentically as yourself.
• 7:16
  And to be authentically yourself, the way that I refer to it is
• 7:18
  the role that you're here to play in this movie called your life.
• 7:22
  You have to be in tune with and living as your unique profile.
• 7:29
  So in other words, I'm a 5/1 I cannot live out my purpose if I'm trying to be
• 7:35
  a 2/4 I cannot live out my purpose if I'm trying to be a 1/3 That will not work.
• 7:44
  I have to be doing and being according to how a 5/1 would achieve this purpose.
• 7:53
  How a 5/1 would go about making their way through the world.
• 7:58
  Because our purpose is nothing but a series of small little moments,
• 8:03
  chosen correctly in alignment with who we are so that we are walking the
• 8:07
  path toward our destiny so to speak.
• 8:12
  So that we're connecting with the right people, so that the
• 8:14
  right people are hearing us.
• 8:15
  Profile is why you might show up online and say something one
• 8:21
  day that just feels so right.
• 8:22
  This just came to me, this was easy, this was something that felt really aligned.
• 8:27
  Usually those things come fast.
• 8:30
  We don't have to labor over them, they just pour out of us, and people
• 8:33
  react and respond to us differently.
• 8:36
  This is where, when we hear that kind of overused word, magnetism,
• 8:41
  that people become magnetic to us.
• 8:43
  There's something about somebody being authentic that gets everybody looking
• 8:47
  and saying, I'll have what she's having.
• 8:49
  Because that's ultimately what we all want to do.
• 8:51
  We want to be ourselves.
• 8:52
  And we get confused and we think, I see what she's doing, I think I'll
• 8:57
  do what she's doing, and then I'll be authentic to myself because I
• 9:01
  just need to put myself out there.
• 9:03
  No, you need to put yourself out there, as you.
• 9:07
  And that's what profile can tune you into.
• 9:10
  So we're talking today about the four line.
• 9:13
  So if you are a 1/4 profile, a 2/4 profile, a 4/1, or a 4/6,
• 9:20
  then this will pertain to you.
• 9:23
  Like I've said in the other episodes, the conscious number is first.
• 9:26
  So if you are a 4/1 or a 4/6, your four is conscious to you.
• 9:32
  That means that you will identify with it more.
• 9:34
  That means that it will feel like more part of your personality.
• 9:37
  So when I'm talking about these themes of what a for line is, and how it
• 9:42
  goes about doing its business in the world, and people are attracted to that
• 9:46
  energy, this is going to be stuff that you maybe feel like, yeah, I do that.
• 9:51
  That's my outward personality.
• 9:53
  That's my outward presence in the world.
• 9:55
  I put this out there.
• 9:57
  Now, if you are a 1/4 or a 2/4, the 4 line will be unconscious to you.
• 10:04
  So, the 4 line will be more of a background theme for you.
• 10:13
  There's varying degrees of how people identify with this
• 10:16
  unconscious number on the other side.
• 10:19
  Usually it is something that is happening, but we don't necessarily feel like
• 10:23
  we are putting it out in the world.
• 10:24
  It's going to be something that's a little bit more naturally coming out
• 10:27
  of you if you are following strategy and authority and all of that stuff.
• 10:32
  But really what you want to pay attention to if the four is in the
• 10:35
  back is how are these themes coming up?
• 10:38
  Where might I be in the shadow of it?
• 10:41
  How am I maybe not owning this part of me?
• 10:45
  It's been my experience that the unconscious side of our design, all
• 10:48
  of the activations that are in that unconscious part of us, are parts that
• 10:53
  as we pay attention and become more aware of our design, and we start following
• 10:58
  our strategy and authority where we're giving those pieces of us voice.
• 11:02
  Because that's how we bring the conscious and unconscious together
• 11:05
  is through strategy and authority.
• 11:07
  That's how we use all of us.
• 11:08
  And we become the quantum being and not just this personality side of
• 11:13
  us that's trying to drive the car.
• 11:16
  This is where alignment comes from.
• 11:18
  So as we start doing that, we start to see these themes emerge and
• 11:22
  come into greater focus for us.
• 11:24
  So let's talk about the four line and what that means.
• 11:28
  In traditional human design, the four line is called the opportunist.
• 11:31
  Like I've said before, traditional human design has some names for things
• 11:35
  that don't feel terribly empowering or they can sound kind of nasty.
• 11:38
  Nobody really loves being called an opportunist.
• 11:41
  But really, the main theme here is that opportunity comes through people.
• 11:47
  The four is our first step into the trans personal process.
• 11:51
  The one, two, and three are about me.
• 11:52
  They're about the person, the individual.
• 11:55
  And when we get to the four, five, and six, it starts being
• 11:57
  connected to other people.
• 11:59
  This is where we step out of the self centered side of things
• 12:03
  and we start stepping out into the world of other people.
• 12:07
  Now, it doesn't mean the one, twos, and threes don't care about other people.
• 12:09
  It just means that the process is more individual and focused on the individual.
• 12:14
  The four, five, and six, they are focused more outwardly.
• 12:18
  The further we go, the more outward they go.
• 12:20
  So, we're not going to get into that in this series, but the four
• 12:24
  line is a transpersonal line.
• 12:27
  It's a little bit different.
• 12:28
  We're not going to go too deep into that concept, but what it really
• 12:32
  means is the four line is starting to say, hey, let's start branching out.
• 12:36
  It is an outward energy looking for others.
• 12:39
  So the opportunist means that opportunity comes through people.
• 12:43
  Opportunity comes through connections.
• 12:46
  Now, the archetype that I use for the four line is the networker.
• 12:52
  When you're being the networker as a four line, when you are allowing yourself to
• 12:56
  connect with people, and you're growing your network, you're building your group
• 13:01
  of people, your tribe, you are truly making connections out in the world and
• 13:06
  growing your network, then the brand that you have the potential to become
• 13:11
  is a connector or community builder.
• 13:15
  Now connector is a term, Malcolm Gladwell came out with a book many years ago called
• 13:20
  The Tipping Point and it was all about how things go viral, how does something become
• 13:25
  a sensation where it overtakes the world?
• 13:27
  And they had things like Blues Clues and he had all of these case studies
• 13:31
  of how do these things become these international global phenomenons.
• 13:36
  And his thesis was that it all comes down to this concept of connectors.
• 13:40
  People who spread the word and who just know a lot of people.
• 13:45
  He really talks about them being more acquaintances than really good friends.
• 13:50
  And I don't think that's incorrect here in talking about the four.
• 13:54
  The four line can have superficial relationships.
• 13:59
  What I've noticed is the four line has the capacity to hold a lot of people.
• 14:04
  The four line has the capacity to really hold people.
• 14:06
  There's an energetic vibe that people get to a four where they're
• 14:11
  like, I want to be close to you.
• 14:13
  I feel like you're safe.
• 14:15
  You seem really open.
• 14:17
  Let's be friends.
• 14:19
  And there isn't this feeling of the friendship needing to
• 14:23
  go to the bottom of the ocean.
• 14:26
  The four line, I think in its highest expression is saying that
• 14:29
  we can care about other people, and we can help each other, and
• 14:33
  we can be in community together, without having to be like family.
• 14:38
  But there is this warmth to the four in its high expression.
• 14:42
  So, I bring up the tipping point because I think for a four to live in
• 14:48
  alignment with what their purpose is, and purpose is fulfilled through living
• 14:54
  out your profile, and in order to do that you need to have a social network.
• 14:59
  You need to be growing your influence because you are here
• 15:03
  to influence people who you know.
• 15:06
  You're not here to necessarily influence a wide range of
• 15:09
  total and complete strangers.
• 15:12
  Now, I always caveat this stuff.
• 15:14
  It doesn't mean that you can't.
• 15:15
  It doesn't mean that you cannot have influence on strangers.
• 15:19
  It just means that you will probably have greater success with people that you
• 15:24
  know or people who know people you know.
• 15:27
  The network, the group, the community.
• 15:30
  Communities will be your best friend and you have the potential to maybe be
• 15:34
  a community builder if and only if you are really building your own network.
• 15:40
  And you are living as a networker and you nurture this part of your personality.
• 15:45
  If you go out there and be it out in the world, then it can become your brand.
• 15:50
  It can become part of what you offer and how you show up in
• 15:53
  the world in your business.
• 15:56
  Because you are the spreader of ideas through a community.
• 15:59
  That was the thesis of The Tipping Point and the concept of a connector.
• 16:03
  They spread ideas, they spread products, they spread all of these things
• 16:07
  through the people that they know.
• 16:09
  And that's how things become super sticky.
• 16:12
  It's referrals.
• 16:13
  It is the word of mouth.
• 16:16
  It is social media now, where you feel like you know people, they grow community
• 16:20
  on Instagram, they grow community on TikTok, you grow community on Facebook,
• 16:25
  and then you have influence over those people who feel connected to you.
• 16:31
  It isn't necessarily writing a book and having it go to the bestseller
• 16:35
  list and nobody knowing who you are.
• 16:38
  The four line will probably have more of a connection to people, where
• 16:42
  people will feel connected to them.
• 16:45
  So that doing leading to being is so important because
• 16:49
  if a four line is hiding.
• 16:52
  If a four line is not making connections, is not growing their network.
• 16:56
  The Shadow of the Four, I did an episode on this a while back.
• 17:01
  I'm sorry, I should have been prepared for that and told you what
• 17:03
  number it was, but I believe it was sometime in the fall, I did one
• 17:07
  called The Shadow of the Four Line.
• 17:09
  And the Shadow of the Four Line is to have a closed heart.
• 17:13
  To be so afraid of abandonment that you don't open your heart to people.
• 17:18
  That will cause you to not live in alignment with your purpose, and
• 17:21
  ultimately, not achieve your purpose, or realize your purpose and then you
• 17:27
  end up hunting for purpose all the time.
• 17:30
  Then you are always on this quest to finally be in alignment and realize
• 17:35
  your potential and it's your closed heart that's keeping you from it.
• 17:39
  This is how doing leads to being.
• 17:42
  This is how being in alignment with your profile, this is how being armed
• 17:46
  with this information and having the courage to see where you're hiding.
• 17:52
  See where you're not in alignment with your profile, with who you are here to be.
• 17:58
  If you're not being a networker then you cannot live your potential.
• 18:02
  You cannot live your purpose.
• 18:05
  So it becomes this fool's errand to be going out and trying to figure out what
• 18:08
  your purpose is all the time if you know that in order to live it I have
• 18:12
  to be this, and I'm not being that.
• 18:15
  So that's why my purpose is very elusive and I don't feel
• 18:18
  like I can connect with it.
• 18:21
  It's really having the courage to look at this and say, where am I hiding?
• 18:26
  Because it is about personal connection.
• 18:29
  It is about you having influence over the people that you know and
• 18:34
  the people who know people you know.
• 18:37
  So you growing that group of people who know you.
• 18:40
  Simple, not necessarily easy for everybody.
• 18:45
  But it can show you where you're blocked.
• 18:47
  It can show you why things aren't working, why you're doing all the work
• 18:51
  and you're not seeing the results.
• 18:53
  Profile can give you a really, really deep window into that.
• 18:57
  Now, not everybody wants to go through that window and do the work.
• 19:02
  That's where you have to show up every day and work on embodying the profile.
• 19:08
  It isn't just about knowing it.
• 19:10
  So I hope you download the guide because that will give you something to refer
• 19:13
  to, and to pay attention to, and to help you deepen your connection with it.
• 19:19
  Or this is where you get in with a coach, you get in with somebody who is going
• 19:23
  to help you embody this so that you can live that potential so that you can step
• 19:29
  into this higher version of yourself.
• 19:31
  This is the purpose of integration work.
• 19:34
  The integration work often gets lost.
• 19:37
  So, if you want to download that guide, please again go to Instagram,
• 19:41
  DM me, I am @NicoleLainoOfficial, DM me the letter X, and then the word
