How AI is Reshaping the Founder Journey (From the Inside Out) with Manuj Aggarwal · Founder Unfiltered - What Founders Think But Never Say

• 0:00
  Welcome to another episode of Founder Unfiltered, the
• 0:04
  conversations that founders think but never talk about.
• 0:07
  I'm incredibly excited to welcome Manoush Agarwal.
• 0:11
  Manoush is the founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Tetra
• 0:15
  Noodle Technologies, an elite AI engineering company.
• 0:18
  He's got a remarkable track record of driving transformative
• 0:22
  change through Tetra Noodle by touching over 10 million lives
• 0:26
  and generating over $500 million in value.
• 0:29
  He's an absolute expert in AI, but not just AI.
• 0:33
  We're going to talk about really the impact on the founder, the
• 0:36
  founder journey on companies, and much more.
• 0:39
  Welcome to the show. Thank you so much, excited to be
• 0:41
  here. All right, excited to have you.
• 0:43
  So give us a further understanding like I had an
• 0:47
  intro for you, but give us a further understanding of who you
• 0:50
  are, what you do, and then we'll we'll dive in.
• 0:53
  My story begins in India, a small town.
• 0:57
  I got into a Community College earlier on, but fell into drugs,
• 1:02
  wrong company and dropped out of College in three months.
• 1:07
  And that's where my sort of life started, Just a roller coaster.
• 1:13
  And I couldn't figure out what I was meant to do until I found
• 1:18
  computers and software. And once I found it, like, I
• 1:21
  just loved it. I got into AI around 2005.
• 1:25
  The very first project that we built was personalized learning
• 1:29
  for students. So it basically was a platform
• 1:32
  which understood every student's mind intimately and their level
• 1:36
  of understanding of the topic and then personalized the
• 1:39
  curriculum for them. And that was my first kind of
• 1:42
  like peek into the human mind and how our minds are so complex
• 1:47
  and diverse, but also the power of AI and how it can understand
• 1:52
  each human individually and adapt the systems.
• 1:55
  So since then, I have done quite a bit of work on understanding
• 1:58
  our mind, neuroscience, psychology, obviously doing a
• 2:02
  lot of work in AI. And my work now is basically
• 2:07
  combining these two areas and creating a continuum.
• 2:11
  Because as we go into this conversation, I hope you will
• 2:15
  start to appreciate how our minds are getting impacted by AI
• 2:19
  and vice versa. It's a two way St. that's
• 2:21
  happening right now. Wow.
• 2:23
  So you're you're we're long before the Chat GPTS of the
• 2:27
  world. I imagine that's giving you a
• 2:29
  huge leg up in understanding the technology at its core.
• 2:34
  And then you have these new LLMS coming in and changing the game.
• 2:37
  I mean, what's your take on that?
• 2:38
  Every corner you look at, there's an AI expert, but the
• 2:42
  the foundations that you developed over 20 years, you
• 2:45
  cannot take that away. But you know, I, I wish I could
• 2:47
  say like I had even more experience because believe it or
• 2:51
  not, AI has been around since the 1960s.
• 2:53
  So there are people, you know, much wiser than me, much more
• 2:57
  experienced in, in this technology.
• 2:59
  But yes, it does give you a real good advantage if you understand
• 3:03
  that the real basics, the internals of algorithms and how
• 3:07
  this is all you know put together.
• 3:09
  Let's just go start at a really base level because I don't want
• 3:11
  to just have the probably conversation everybody's having
• 3:14
  of like how to use AI to make your business more efficient.
• 3:17
  Like, yes, you know, we'll hit on it, I'm sure.
• 3:19
  But I really want to talk about the impact of AI on the founder.
• 3:23
  Whether if we really think about a founder that's been in
• 3:26
  business for a number of years, has some customers, has some
• 3:29
  clients now AI is coming into the show, what is the impact on
• 3:33
  them? And I really want to talk start
• 3:35
  with the mental emotional piece that you're seeing in your work,
• 3:40
  maybe from your own personal experience as well.
• 3:41
  First of all, I'll give you a little bit of a background here,
• 3:44
  right? When we work with AI, we first
• 3:46
  look at the human being just like what you are saying, you
• 3:49
  know, focus on the founder, focus on the leader, because AI
• 3:53
  is a tool that that they use to improve their business and life.
• 3:57
  And most people don't do that. So we have a framework called AI
• 4:01
  Merge. And the idea is that human mind
• 4:04
  needs to kind of have this layer of a membrane between AI, this
• 4:10
  intelligent entity that has landed in our lap to be able to
• 4:13
  interact with it. Last year, I was invited to
• 4:17
  present this framework at Mensa Foundation, which is, you know,
• 4:21
  a very prominent body researching human intelligence.
• 4:26
  They are the people behind IQ research and all that.
• 4:29
  What I found out was average human IQ in this world is 90
• 4:33
  which is just about like young adult.
• 4:36
  So think about it this way, every AI platform out there,
• 4:39
  Gemini, open AI, ChatGPT, plot, whatever they have to cater to
• 4:44
  the least common denominator. Meaning as intelligent as these
• 4:49
  systems are, they are going to treat you as a young adult and
• 4:54
  give you the output that will resonate with you.
• 4:58
  Meaning they will stroke your ego.
• 4:59
  They will never argue with you. They will give you a million
• 5:03
  different options. And as a founder, you'll be
• 5:05
  like, wow, it used to take me so much time to figure out all
• 5:09
  these options. Now I can get it in seconds.
• 5:11
  But imagine what is happening in our mind.
• 5:14
  It's getting overloaded with all these options.
• 5:17
  Founders tend to have this mind which is in OverDrive anyways
• 5:21
  because that's who entrepreneurs are.
• 5:23
  They notice the patterns in the in the world and they find and
• 5:27
  then they build solutions. But if you ever have done house
• 5:31
  repainting job, if you go to a Home Depot to find the right
• 5:35
  color, if they have a million colors, our mind gets so
• 5:38
  confused. Like I don't know which shade of
• 5:40
  pink should I use? Which shade of green should I
• 5:42
  use? That's exactly what is happening
• 5:44
  right now in people's minds as they consume what I called crude
• 5:49
  AI crude oil. Just like crude oil, you cannot
• 5:52
  put it in your car because it's going to jam your engine.
• 5:56
  People are putting crude AI in their minds, which is putting
• 6:00
  the whole mind and the nervous system in OverDrive right now.
• 6:04
  So what we do is we basically filter it out just like
• 6:08
  electricity. When the power plant produces
• 6:11
  electricity, it produces at a very high voltage, 11,012
• 6:15
  thousand volts. You cannot plug your fridge or
• 6:18
  toaster oven into that electricity.
• 6:20
  You need a regulator to regulate it down so that it's safe for
• 6:25
  your appliances to be plugged in.
• 6:26
  Similar analogy with crude oil. It needs to be refined before
• 6:30
  you start to put it in your car as these giants are flooding the
• 6:34
  market with for $20.00 a month is crude AI, which is kind of
• 6:39
  like putting the mind in OverDrive.
• 6:42
  And that's why you see a lot of anxiety, a lot of, you know, a
• 6:45
  lot of stress just building up. And so the idea is that you need
• 6:50
  to have some protection layer to kind of like consume it in a
• 6:54
  safe manner. It can be really easy these days
• 6:57
  to outsource decision making, right?
• 7:01
  I'll just ask it a question and I don't need to think anymore.
• 7:04
  Save me the time, energy, What's happening when I do that as a
• 7:08
  founder? We have adopted this notion that
• 7:11
  we are logical creatures, but we are very emotional.
• 7:14
  Everything that we experience in life, 90% of what we experience
• 7:18
  in life is actually our subconscious mind.
• 7:20
  And it is related to our past experiences, our core values,
• 7:24
  our belief systems. So let's say, you know, I'll
• 7:27
  give you a simple example. Let's say I'm a vegetarian and
• 7:30
  I'm a vegan. You know, that's my core belief.
• 7:33
  I don't want to have any meat whatsoever.
• 7:36
  And then you invite me to a really high end Michelin star
• 7:40
  restaurant which only serves meat.
• 7:42
  That is not going to work. Even though your intentions are
• 7:45
  really good, it's against my values.
• 7:48
  So when you are talking to AI and outsourcing your decision
• 7:52
  making, it does not know anything about you and your core
• 7:55
  values. It will just say, OK, do this
• 7:58
  let's say you're working on a deal, you didn't have a good
• 8:03
  meeting with the client and you just say to chat GPD or any hey,
• 8:08
  this guy was not really nice to me, what should I do?
• 8:11
  A standard LLM response will be OK, just cut off the deal, move
• 8:15
  on, blah, blah blah, right. But if you give it more context
• 8:19
  that actually I woke up on the wrong side of my bed, I had a
• 8:23
  fight with my spouse in the morning.
• 8:25
  I was the one like kind of like dysregulated.
• 8:28
  And this is the context of this conversation.
• 8:30
  This is what happened. Now this LLM.
• 8:34
  And obviously, if it has even more context about your
• 8:37
  background, about, you know, if you have any anger management
• 8:41
  issues, if you had like any anxiety issues, all of these
• 8:44
  things are the internal structure of your mind, which
• 8:48
  most AIS have no clue about. And people are afraid to share
• 8:53
  all this because we are not self aware enough to notice all this
• 8:56
  about us, right? So when you outsource this
• 8:59
  decision, you're basically inviting a vegan into a
• 9:03
  steakhouse. And you may think, oh, it's,
• 9:06
  it's a nice meal. You know, it looks pretty
• 9:08
  expensive and and decent, but how far is it going to take you,
• 9:12
  nourish you and and you know, really help you accomplish your
• 9:15
  goals? That's very questionable.
• 9:17
  Based on all of that, what is your recommendation for how to
• 9:21
  use the AI? In the end of the day, I want my
• 9:24
  company to be successful. I want a great user experience.
• 9:27
  I want to differentiate all those things.
• 9:30
  What's your recommendation? So what we have done is we have
• 9:32
  come up with a seven step foundational, the framework to
• 9:36
  use any AI, any AI easily first find your purpose.
• 9:41
  So before that as I say, I reiterate this paradigm, people
• 9:46
  who are going to be successful, they don't need to know the
• 9:50
  algorithm, they don't need to know the prompts.
• 9:52
  I mean, most people are running after that aspect of AI.
• 9:56
  What are the best tools? What is the best prompt?
• 9:59
  The people who are going to be successful with AI will know
• 10:02
  themselves the best. So how do you know yourself
• 10:06
  best? These seven things, if you start
• 10:08
  to adopt them and focus on them, it will really help you
• 10:12
  accelerate. The first one is your purpose.
• 10:14
  What is your why? Why are you doing what you're
• 10:17
  doing? Unless and until you know this,
• 10:20
  AI will take you all different ways.
• 10:22
  But if you find your purpose and you say, OK, this is my goal,
• 10:26
  it's it, it cannot be, oh, I want to make $1,000,000.
• 10:29
  It cannot be, you know, I want to be filthy rich.
• 10:31
  That's not purpose. Purpose is something that is
• 10:34
  deeper than that, right? So there is some pain point you
• 10:37
  experience in your life and you cannot tolerate this pain point
• 10:41
  for others. And that's why you want to solve
• 10:43
  it for others. So there's a deeper sense to
• 10:46
  that. And we have a deeper exercise to
• 10:48
  actually find this purpose. But once you find it, you need
• 10:51
  to let AI know that anything that you tell me, please help me
• 10:56
  align my decisions to my core values, to my purpose.
• 11:00
  The second thing is your identity.
• 11:02
  So the world does not give you what you want or need.
• 11:06
  The world reflects you, who you are inside.
• 11:10
  So if you are a struggling founder making, trying to make
• 11:15
  cash flow and monthly payments, you need to look at the identity
• 11:19
  of that future founder that has accomplished your goal and how
• 11:23
  do you become that person? That is the key.
• 11:27
  So, so understand yourself identity in this whole paradigm
• 11:32
  and how you come across to AI because it's going to start
• 11:36
  reflecting you. The third thing is relationships
• 11:39
  and business and life. Nothing happens in isolation.
• 11:42
  We all need each other because we can only be good at one or
• 11:47
  two things. So how do you use AI?
• 11:50
  We become a person that actually creates better relationships,
• 11:54
  creates a community around them, is better at networking and
• 11:57
  those type of things. Fourth pillar is creativity
• 12:00
  because we all build these massive 5 year plans and the
• 12:03
  next day we never do anything right?
• 12:06
  So creativity, you can use leverage AI to say, OK, this is
• 12:09
  where I want to be in five years, but right now, just give
• 12:13
  me one step I can take in the next one hour and keep moving
• 12:18
  forward with that, right? Then your time.
• 12:21
  So this is where AI agents and automation comes in, where you
• 12:24
  can start to offload repetitive work and then take your time
• 12:28
  back. The more time you have, the more
• 12:30
  calm you are. You will be able to be more
• 12:32
  productive. Obviously, Peace of Mind is
• 12:35
  another one because as I explained earlier, there's going
• 12:38
  to be an explosion of information options, all of this
• 12:42
  around the world, and that's going to kind of like create
• 12:45
  more anxiety and stress in the human mind.
• 12:48
  So you need to protect against that and retain your Peace of
• 12:53
  Mind. Otherwise you're going to be
• 12:54
  spinning in the circle. And the foundational pillar is
• 12:58
  embodiment, because embodiment is engaging with the field,
• 13:01
  engaging with outside world. Because as AI becomes more and
• 13:05
  more powerful, most people will. I think I can just sit here in
• 13:09
  my cubicle and work with AI all day long and things will happen.
• 13:13
  But the real results happen out there in real life.
• 13:16
  So you need to kind of like, say, OK, I'm going to talk to AI
• 13:20
  for 30 minutes a day, no more than that.
• 13:22
  But based on what I get out of it, I'm gonna go out there and
• 13:26
  take action. You know, I'm gonna talk to real
• 13:29
  people and I'm gonna touch real objects and go in nature, these
• 13:32
  type of things. So if you start to adopt these 7
• 13:36
  pillars, it'll start to restore your humanity and that is what
• 13:40
  is going to make you more valuable in the age of Yeah.
• 13:42
  Does that make sense? Yeah, I mean, I feel like you
• 13:45
  just took us on like a personal development journey.
• 13:47
  I loved it. So many amazing quotes in there.
• 13:51
  The question I really want to ask and you said, cuz I find it,
• 13:54
  I'll just share myself. It can be addicting to stay
• 13:58
  home, right, and just work with my AI and build new features and
• 14:03
  right, like it's kind of addicting, frankly.
• 14:05
  And, and as you said, what's going to differentiate is going
• 14:09
  out there and actually into the world.
• 14:11
  And maybe that's in nature to just like recover and connect
• 14:13
  with myself, but maybe it's, you know, talking to real people and
• 14:17
  building new relationships. So maybe I would love your just
• 14:20
  take on that because so many people I talked to, we're like
• 14:23
  staying up late, we're cancelling social plans.
• 14:25
  We're, we're like just working all the time now because AI
• 14:28
  opened up doors that didn't exist.
• 14:31
  How do we navigate that and get ourselves away from staying at
• 14:35
  home and just working? So we are going through a huge
• 14:39
  transition. This is a evolutionary scale
• 14:42
  transition at at a human species level.
• 14:45
  OK, so think about it this way. When we were in the caves, our
• 14:50
  job used to be 24/7, just hunt for food, you know, find a
• 14:54
  rabbit, kill it, bring it back. But then somebody discovered,
• 14:57
  you know, agriculture, and they said, you know what, let's just
• 15:00
  plant some seeds in the ground and just lay low for six months.
• 15:03
  And we'll have so much food. And the people running around,
• 15:07
  they'll be like, what are you talking about?
• 15:08
  Like, are you crazy? This is not going to happen.
• 15:10
  Like, you're going to starve. They were still running around
• 15:14
  and killing animals. But until slowly, people realize
• 15:18
  that if you actually follow this path of nature, you know, you
• 15:20
  sow some seeds, you'll have abundant food.
• 15:24
  So that's what's happening today where people are spinning their
• 15:28
  wheels, living the old paradigm by the way.
• 15:32
  So we are not no longer in the old paradigm of 0 sum game
• 15:36
  creating solutions. It will take a lot of time,
• 15:39
  maybe decades for people to shift their mindset.
• 15:42
  And until that happens, people who start to see the light
• 15:46
  earlier on, they will start to play the game of Go rather than
• 15:50
  the game of chess, which is actually do engage with the
• 15:54
  field so that you can bring the bring the material that is
• 15:58
  needed by AI to help you make the right decisions.
• 16:02
  Because if you sit here and talk to AI all day long, it's looking
• 16:05
  at the past data. The cut off date for each of the
• 16:08
  platforms is like months and months away in the back.
• 16:12
  So you are looking at past data and you're trying to make
• 16:16
  decisions about a brand new world that is shaping under our
• 16:21
  noses. Huge disconnect right there,
• 16:25
  right? So you need to go out there.
• 16:27
  You need to to people and only then you will have something
• 16:30
  meaningful to say to AI. Otherwise you're just, you know,
• 16:34
  going in circles. Satisfy the with the fact that
• 16:37
  you are being busy. That's not going to bring any
• 16:39
  results. Yeah, I mean, you kind of hit on
• 16:41
  this earlier too, and I've heard it rephrased in a similar way of
• 16:45
  AI is almost like the middle 50% of everything that's been done
• 16:48
  in the past. Yeah, Yeah.
• 16:49
  So if you're outsourcing, right, you said it, you talked about
• 16:52
  like IQ levels to, you know, a teenager, right.
• 16:55
  And and it's basically the same thing you're saying if you
• 16:57
  outsource your decision making to AI, right?
• 17:00
  You're one in the past and two talking towards the middle 50%
• 17:03
  this teenage IQ level. Nobody wants to be that.
• 17:07
  You're not creating anything magical or amazing from that
• 17:09
  place. Yeah, exactly.
• 17:11
  Exactly. So, OK, you said something
• 17:13
  earlier that before we started recording that you guys are
• 17:16
  working on creating, correct? You're gonna correct my language
• 17:19
  here, but digital copies of the founder so that the teams don't
• 17:23
  have to rely on the human founder as much.
• 17:27
  Tell us what's going on there. So it's basically, you know, I
• 17:29
  already described the seven steps here.
• 17:31
  So this protocol is called AI merge.
• 17:34
  These entities are getting more intelligent.
• 17:37
  So think about, for the sake of argument, an alien landed on on
• 17:41
  the planet and now we need to talk to it.
• 17:43
  The aliens have this advanced technology.
• 17:45
  We, you know, they have a different language.
• 17:47
  We don't know how to talk to them.
• 17:49
  So consider AI as that intelligent entity, and the
• 17:52
  human mind needs a way to interact with this entity
• 17:57
  safely. Just like we need to wear a
• 18:00
  helmet when we drive a fast car, we need to wear a seat belt.
• 18:05
  This AI merge protocol is that safety layer where it actually
• 18:10
  prioritizes these 7 pillars that I mentioned earlier.
• 18:13
  So before you interact with AI, it goes through this layer of AI
• 18:16
  merge and it says, hey, this user, this is their purpose.
• 18:21
  This is their current identity. This is what their future
• 18:24
  identity they want to create. These are the type of
• 18:27
  relationships they have created or they want to create.
• 18:30
  This is how they think creatively.
• 18:34
  This is what their time calendar looks like.
• 18:37
  This is what their state of mind is, and this is how they embody
• 18:40
  this life experience. Whether they sit in their chair
• 18:43
  all day long or they go out there, you know, for a walk or
• 18:46
  whatever. So all this is baked into this
• 18:49
  protocol so that when you talk to AI, it actually starts to
• 18:54
  make the right decisions for you.
• 18:56
  So a founder or a CEO, essentially what they are doing
• 19:00
  is making a million decisions every day based on the data that
• 19:04
  is that they're collecting, right?
• 19:05
  So if you now have a super intelligent entity that thinks
• 19:09
  like you, but not just think like you, as I said earlier, the
• 19:13
  results you experience in life, 90% of it comes from your
• 19:17
  subconscious mind, meaning how you feel the the environment
• 19:22
  around you. If you consider this fact now
• 19:24
  this is a super intelligent entity that can feel the
• 19:27
  environment like you. Now you can hand over this
• 19:30
  digital twin to your team and say hey, if I'm on the beach,
• 19:34
  don't disturb me. If you need that answer, talk to
• 19:37
  this guy. And if we, if this person or
• 19:40
  this entity cannot answer it, then message me.
• 19:43
  And by the way, in my own company, I fired myself as the
• 19:47
  CEO few months ago because I was in the same loop of, you know,
• 19:51
  OK, we need to make this happen in this month.
• 19:54
  Like these are the team members. This is their strength,
• 19:56
  weakness. How do I deal with this?
• 19:58
  Right? But a human mind is not capable
• 20:01
  of like having all this. We can push through it, but
• 20:06
  won't it be better if we give this thinking process to a
• 20:09
  machine? Because it's optimized for that.
• 20:12
  And and then you can just say, hey, by the end of this month,
• 20:15
  this is the goal we want to hit. You tell us who should do what
• 20:20
  in what sequence so that we can hit that goal.
• 20:23
  I have so many questions. Sounds amazing.
• 20:26
  And how well is it working, right?
• 20:28
  Like if I go to the beach, like, yeah, how's it going?
• 20:31
  It's absolutely great. Look, we are at the beginning
• 20:34
  of, as I said, we are at the beginning of this transition.
• 20:36
  So I won't say here that, oh, I can take like 3 weeks off and
• 20:40
  not look at my company at all. No, but I can tell you a
• 20:44
  cognitive load my, my stress, my anxiety before I have a stand up
• 20:48
  call every day with my team gone, I don't even need to like
• 20:52
  think about what is going to happen because I know there is
• 20:54
  a, there is a much more intelligent entity which
• 20:57
  remembers everything, which stores all the data, which knows
• 21:00
  each and every person on my team.
• 21:02
  What is their strength, what is their weakness, What is their
• 21:05
  background and then optimizes all of it and says, OK, this is
• 21:08
  your plan for the next day or the next week or whatever,
• 21:12
  whatever. My team is spread across the
• 21:13
  world. I don't have to spend nights
• 21:15
  waking, you know, waking up and thinking, oh, you know, they are
• 21:18
  stuck. They actually use this to
• 21:20
  actually move forward and then come back to me with fewer
• 21:23
  questions. So it's actually how doing a
• 21:26
  much, much better job than I was doing as a CEO that I can tell.
• 21:32
  You wow as you talk, I mean, it sounds amazing, right?
• 21:35
  And assuming it works, I can see it being a massive impact on
• 21:39
  businesses. And so many people I talk to,
• 21:43
  there's a new tool, a new thing, a new way of doing business.
• 21:46
  I mean, how do you figure out what to use?
• 21:49
  How do you keep up with it at all?
• 21:50
  And not necessarily you, but if you're talk because you're like
• 21:53
  living and breathing this stuff, right?
• 21:55
  But for the average business owner founder out there that's
• 21:58
  being maybe pitched or reading about all these different tools.
• 22:02
  I mean, what do you do to not make this just end up being a
• 22:05
  massive distraction from your goal of like delivering
• 22:09
  incredible value with your product or service?
• 22:11
  Yeah, so great question. One thing I've learned in
• 22:14
  technology is there are and any, any field, only 5% of the people
• 22:19
  know what they are doing and the rest 95% they follow right.
• 22:23
  And I'm not bragging here or I'm not egotistical, but I am in
• 22:29
  circles with the highest levels of people at Open AI at Google,
• 22:33
  at Microsoft, they are very, very busy in coming up with the
• 22:37
  AGI and the the best and the fastest algorithms and the AI
• 22:42
  models. That is their goal.
• 22:44
  Nobody's looking at the human nobody.
• 22:46
  And so that's where we start. And literally we use maybe
• 22:51
  handful of tools, like 5 tools at the Max.
• 22:54
  And the rest is our own framework which is optimizing
• 22:58
  the human experience. Because in technology, what
• 23:00
  happens is if something is good, it will show up at your doorstep
• 23:05
  sooner or later. And so rather than going out
• 23:08
  there and looking for let me try this tool, let me try that tool.
• 23:12
  We say, OK, let's wait for a problem to show up and then we
• 23:17
  will go look for tools. And generally, 90% of the
• 23:22
  problems in business are human problems.
• 23:25
  OK, so it's like saying that this is one of the most frequent
• 23:32
  questions I get asked. What is your favorite tool?
• 23:35
  So I respond to it like this. You know, it's like asking me
• 23:38
  what is my favorite appliance in my kitchen.
• 23:40
  Is it is it the fridge? Is it the toaster?
• 23:42
  Is it the oven? So I say it depends on what you
• 23:45
  want to cook. And then you say, OK, this
• 23:48
  appliance will be the the right appliance for what I'm trying to
• 23:51
  cook right now. So first focus on yourself, on
• 23:55
  your business, on your outcome. And then you work backwards from
• 23:58
  there. And if you do it that way,
• 23:59
  you'll realize actually you don't need more than four or
• 24:03
  five pools. So if I can make a digital copy
• 24:06
  of myself, and I can somewhat give this, you keep calling it
• 24:10
  an entity. So I'll use the language.
• 24:12
  I, I, I give this entity to my team, I would imagine I can make
• 24:16
  a digital copy of somebody else and use it for my company.
• 24:21
  So I could take the best entrepreneurs in the world,
• 24:25
  maybe like the Elon Musk, or even they don't even need to be
• 24:27
  alive, right? I could take the Steve Jobs of
• 24:29
  the world or whoever. I I could take Einstein, maybe.
• 24:31
  I don't know. You tell me what I can do.
• 24:33
  Like I don't. Why?
• 24:35
  Why would I take my brains? You know, like, yeah, I'm a
• 24:37
  smart person, but I'm not going to pretend to be.
• 24:39
  Excellent question. Excellent question.
• 24:41
  See, this is where you really need to understand what a human
• 24:44
  being is. Human being is basically a
• 24:46
  nervous system covered with, you know, our skin and, and, and all
• 24:49
  of that the the body, Elon Musk's nervous system is not
• 24:54
  compatible with yours. If you are put in charge of
• 24:59
  Tesla, you will, you know, no offense.
• 25:02
  You will probably tell you. Yeah, OK, So don't get me wrong.
• 25:07
  What we do is we actually create executive boards where we do
• 25:10
  include people like Elon Musk and those type of things.
• 25:13
  But if Elon Musk gives me advice, it's not going to work
• 25:16
  for me. He's gonna say, you want to do
• 25:19
  this, OK, raise $800 billion and hire 10,000 people, Not gonna
• 25:24
  work. The second thing, the most
• 25:26
  important thing I like keep repeating, is everything that
• 25:29
  you see on the Internet. It's coming from their logical
• 25:31
  mind, OK, The decisions they have made, but we do not get
• 25:38
  even an ounce of what their nervous system is all about.
• 25:41
  Their subconscious mind is all about their background is all
• 25:44
  about what was the real deep pain they experienced in their
• 25:47
  life which prompted them to go to this level that they
• 25:51
  sacrificed everything in life and said, OK, this is my one
• 25:54
  purpose, 1 mission, one goal. Unless and until you know you
• 25:59
  are the only person who knows that and even you will need help
• 26:04
  to dig deeper, deeper, deeper. So first order of business is
• 26:09
  not to go look for, you know, advice from Elon Musk.
• 26:12
  The first order of business is get familiar with yourself and
• 26:16
  what really drives you, what lights up your soul on fire.
• 26:21
  And then you can surround yourself with all these other
• 26:26
  advisors and all of that. But that too filtered by your
• 26:30
  own lens and you can say Elon Musk is going to tell me to
• 26:34
  raise an $800 billion, but you know, I want a bootstrap.
• 26:37
  So you know, kind of like down step that advice for me so that
• 26:43
  I can use it. Right.
• 26:45
  So I'm going to go off the reservation here.
• 26:47
  You have said it a number of times, like find your purpose.
• 26:50
  What lights up your soul? Age-old question, how do you do
• 26:55
  that? For thousands and thousands of
• 26:58
  years, these these paradigms have been there.
• 27:00
  So I study a lot of obviously different fields, not just AI.
• 27:04
  So ancient wisdom, neuroscience, psychology.
• 27:07
  There's a Japanese concept called ikigai.
• 27:10
  OK. And once you start to understand
• 27:13
  it, it's you just need to answer a few questions to find your
• 27:17
  purpose. And here is the here is the
• 27:20
  thing that people don't understand.
• 27:22
  Sometimes they do this exercise and say, oh, I found my purpose.
• 27:25
  Now you know, I know what. But our purpose, we are living
• 27:29
  in such a dynamic environment. Our purpose shifts every 3030
• 27:34
  days, 90 days. Like as you start to go into the
• 27:37
  world, as you start to make more and more discovery about
• 27:40
  yourself, your purpose starts to change.
• 27:43
  And, and as you start to engage with this AI and keep updating
• 27:48
  the purpose, keep using AI to align your decisions with your
• 27:53
  purpose, it rapidly starts to like kind of pull you forward in
• 27:57
  your life. Absolutely, absolutely,
• 28:30
  absolutely. Money is a means to an end.
• 28:55
  What we really seek is safety and recognition and somebody who
• 29:02
  who listens to us, sees us and what we learn in our life is if
• 29:06
  you have more money, that will happen automatically.
• 29:08
  So we run after money, but at at the end of the day, the end goal
• 29:11
  is seeking that safety, that novelty, that experience of
• 29:15
  life, embodiment of life. OK, so think about it this way.
• 29:21
  AI is an algorithm which needs fuel.
• 29:25
  Fuel for AI is data. OK?
• 29:28
  So all these companies right now pumping billions of into the
• 29:33
  GPU's data centers, they are running out of data.
• 29:37
  OK, It's almost like humans are running out of oil.
• 29:41
  OK, so there is actually a saying, data is more expensive
• 29:45
  now than the new gold or new oil is data.
• 29:51
  So imagine in the new world our focus is finding safety, which I
• 29:56
  can narrow it down to nervous system attunement.
• 29:59
  We just want our nervous system to feel safe.
• 30:02
  We feel safe when we are out there in the world, you know,
• 30:05
  travelling and all that. There is going to be a company
• 30:07
  very soon, an airline or a travel company, which will pay
• 30:12
  you to travel so that they can collect data which goes back
• 30:17
  into AI and makes it smarter. Does that make sense?
• 30:23
  Yeah, yes. So the whole paradigm of how
• 30:28
  money works, what commerce is, what education is all about,
• 30:33
  once you start to understand the history of humanity, how we came
• 30:36
  here and what is about to happen, then you can see clearly
• 30:41
  what this new world is going to be.
• 30:42
  And it's going to be mind blowing.
• 30:44
  It's, it's not going to resemble anything that we know about
• 30:48
  history. It's, it's, it's totally
• 30:49
  different world. This change I'm talking about
• 30:56
  next, next one, one decade. I call it inhale and exhale,
• 31:14
  meaning so far the whole economy has been about inhaling
• 31:20
  information, consuming information.
• 31:24
  Education is based on, you know, like cram this information,
• 31:27
  remember it and regurgitate it when the test comes or
• 31:31
  employment is how much your nervous system can take in terms
• 31:35
  of tension and stress and, and do the work.
• 31:38
  This new economy is, is going to be about excelling.
• 31:42
  How can you express yourself? How can you bring out your
• 31:47
  authentic story and attract people with that authentic story
• 31:53
  to join in your mission? If that's making sense.
• 31:56
  So if you think about it like we are in a transition phase here.
• 32:00
  People make fun of influencers, right?
• 32:03
  Oh, influencer is a job. But if you think about it, what
• 32:07
  they're doing is they are putting up a show.
• 32:09
  They are putting up a performance to let their
• 32:12
  audience live vicariously through them while 97% of the
• 32:17
  people are locked up in their cubicle.
• 32:18
  They dream about, oh, I'm going to go travel the world.
• 32:21
  I'm going to do this. And then they look at their
• 32:23
  TikTok and they're, oh, this guy's doing it.
• 32:25
  OK, My mind is now sort of capturing that data now, right?
• 32:30
  So you need to flip that and you need to go out there and engage
• 32:35
  with the world in such a way that your nervous system gets
• 32:40
  attuned. That's why self-awareness and
• 32:42
  knowing what really works for you, finding your purpose is key
• 32:46
  because that is what is your nervous system seeking.
• 32:50
  And that is the gold rush that is going to happen.
• 32:55
  But unfortunately it's, it's a, it's a mind bending thing that
• 32:58
  most people are not going to be able to wrap their head around.
