1
00:00:01,362 --> 00:00:02,926
Speaker 1: Hello Habit Mechanics
.

2
00:00:02,926 --> 00:00:04,189
It's Dr John Finn here.

3
00:00:04,189 --> 00:00:05,472
I hope you're having a great
week.

4
00:00:05,472 --> 00:00:11,566
So far, yet again, we've seen
the acceleration of the AI era

5
00:00:12,526 --> 00:00:17,614
come hurtling towards us at a
pace that I don't think anybody

6
00:00:17,655 --> 00:00:18,335
has predicted.

7
00:00:18,335 --> 00:00:25,763
There's been so many
interesting news stories, so

8
00:00:25,824 --> 00:00:30,754
many interesting insights about
results, about what businesses

9
00:00:30,774 --> 00:00:34,825
have invested, what's coming
down the pipeline, what they're

10
00:00:34,945 --> 00:00:37,551
projecting, the technologies
have invested in can actually do

11
00:00:37,551 --> 00:00:37,551
.

12
00:00:39,042 --> 00:00:44,250
Um, so some really, I think,
exciting things are going to be

13
00:00:44,289 --> 00:00:50,323
coming in the next weeks and
months, and I just wanted to

14
00:00:50,343 --> 00:00:55,112
talk very practically today
about what we can do to help

15
00:00:55,192 --> 00:01:03,851
ourselves thrive, and sport is a
great way to see performance

16
00:01:03,871 --> 00:01:05,775
psychology expressed physically.

17
00:01:05,775 --> 00:01:10,862
It's a bit more difficult when
we're sitting at our desks doing

18
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:16,829
the work we do every day to
observe it, but in sport it's

19
00:01:16,849 --> 00:01:17,412
much clearer.

20
00:01:17,412 --> 00:01:23,123
And what we just had in the UK,
and actually in Leeds, at the

21
00:01:23,203 --> 00:01:27,908
famous Headingley Stadium, was a
test match, the first test

22
00:01:27,947 --> 00:01:33,634
match in a five-match series
between England and India, two

23
00:01:33,694 --> 00:01:50,581
of the best teams in the world,
and it was an epic test match,

24
00:01:50,602 --> 00:01:51,924
one which will go down in the
history books as one of the

25
00:01:51,963 --> 00:01:53,305
greatest, but one which England
ultimately came out on top and

26
00:01:53,325 --> 00:01:54,528
won the game and what was
striking about England's

27
00:01:54,548 --> 00:01:56,691
performance, in particular their
batting, was how good they were

28
00:01:56,691 --> 00:02:00,798
or how good their brain state
intelligence was.

29
00:02:00,798 --> 00:02:04,347
Yeah, that's what we're coming
on to to.

30
00:02:04,347 --> 00:02:07,661
So we know that we've created
this new field of psychology

31
00:02:07,721 --> 00:02:13,191
human ai performance psychology
to help people thrive as they

32
00:02:13,231 --> 00:02:17,229
work alongside ai, as we move to
these smaller teams of of

33
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:19,179
humans, and that's why we're
going to see cuts in the

34
00:02:19,218 --> 00:02:23,810
workforce right, because we will
need less humans, certainly in

35
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:25,473
the jobs humans are currently
being paid for.

36
00:02:25,473 --> 00:02:27,727
Other jobs may be created, we
don't know.

37
00:02:27,727 --> 00:02:33,276
But the sort of practical
application of human high

38
00:02:33,295 --> 00:02:38,122
performance psychology is brain
state intelligence and just

39
00:02:39,508 --> 00:02:41,627
earlier this week we actually
released a new training

40
00:02:41,668 --> 00:02:45,859
programme for personal mastery
which is called the advanced

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,245
brain state intelligence
certification.

42
00:02:48,245 --> 00:02:51,712
So it's a five-week online
program where you have some

43
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:57,569
one-to-one coaching, support and
um used to train you how to

44
00:02:57,710 --> 00:02:59,652
become brain state intelligent.

45
00:03:00,335 --> 00:03:07,729
But what we saw with the England
cricket team and the England

46
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:20,414
batsmen particularly, was a real
awareness of controlling their

47
00:03:20,474 --> 00:03:21,536
activation levels.

48
00:03:21,536 --> 00:03:28,378
So in the past they've been
accused of, in my language, not

49
00:03:28,419 --> 00:03:32,366
controlling their activation
levels, not being brain state

50
00:03:32,406 --> 00:03:39,443
intelligent, but in the test
match that's just gone, what we

51
00:03:39,484 --> 00:03:41,248
saw was a much greater awareness
of.

52
00:03:41,248 --> 00:03:43,835
They would call it, in cricket,
going up and down the gears,

53
00:03:43,855 --> 00:03:46,282
but I, in cricket, going up and
down the gears, but I would call

54
00:03:46,282 --> 00:03:48,997
it going up and down the brain
states because I want to come

55
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,965
from a first principle
perspective and ultimately,

56
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:53,990
neurons are driving the
behaviour.

57
00:03:53,990 --> 00:04:02,448
So this awareness of when to
attack, when to defend, when to

58
00:04:02,487 --> 00:04:07,895
go fast, when to go slow, and
what we saw just in a cricket

59
00:04:08,014 --> 00:04:15,906
innings, we can extrapolate that
or we can compare that to a

60
00:04:15,947 --> 00:04:20,125
24-hour period in your life, and
this is what brain state

61
00:04:20,165 --> 00:04:21,067
intelligence is all about.

62
00:04:21,139 --> 00:04:26,437
It's about knowing when to
recharge and what to do so you

63
00:04:26,458 --> 00:04:28,081
secure high quality recharge.

64
00:04:28,081 --> 00:04:35,593
It's about understanding how to
properly do high charge, how to

65
00:04:35,593 --> 00:04:39,788
focus and concentrate really
intensely when you need to, and

66
00:04:39,827 --> 00:04:42,521
it's about understanding how to
optimize the way that you do

67
00:04:42,581 --> 00:04:46,572
medium charge work and when we
extend that into our own lives.

68
00:04:46,572 --> 00:04:51,103
This is where the AI comes in,
because we know we can use AI to

69
00:04:51,103 --> 00:04:57,406
extend, augment, supercharge or
however you want to call it our

70
00:04:57,406 --> 00:05:01,526
high-charge work, because
essentially, by working with

71
00:05:01,547 --> 00:05:06,749
generative AI like you're trying
to create a strategy report or

72
00:05:06,769 --> 00:05:10,108
a marketing plan and you're
going to use Claude or ChatGTP

73
00:05:11,708 --> 00:05:15,146
this is like outsourcing brain
power so you can create the

74
00:05:15,166 --> 00:05:20,668
business plan faster because you
don't have to completely depend

75
00:05:20,668 --> 00:05:23,586
on your own brain power and
your own energy resources.

76
00:05:23,586 --> 00:05:29,970
Remember, our brain is powered
by chemicals and sort of

77
00:05:30,009 --> 00:05:31,553
self-generated electricity.

78
00:05:31,553 --> 00:05:34,942
Ai is plugged into the mains
right, so it has a much more

79
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:36,627
stable power supply than we do.

80
00:05:36,627 --> 00:05:42,565
Um, and then medium charge work
we can outsource completely and

81
00:05:42,565 --> 00:05:46,538
we're going to see much more of
this, um, I think, in the

82
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,464
coming weeks and months where
we'll see businesses have

83
00:05:49,047 --> 00:05:53,708
invested significant sums of
money into agentic ai that are

84
00:05:53,747 --> 00:05:57,499
basically digital workers, but
they can take a lot of the

85
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:00,827
mundane work off our plate,
which means it frees up more

86
00:06:00,987 --> 00:06:01,810
recharge time.

87
00:06:01,810 --> 00:06:04,827
We don't need to be working at
the desk till 11 o'clock at

88
00:06:04,887 --> 00:06:10,130
night and that means we can
better charge our brain power up

89
00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:11,252
for those high charge moments.

90
00:06:12,822 --> 00:06:16,548
So I appreciate you might not be
a cricket fan, you might not.

91
00:06:16,548 --> 00:06:22,384
You might not know even what
cricket is, um, or sort of what

92
00:06:22,404 --> 00:06:23,326
the rules are, etc.

93
00:06:23,326 --> 00:06:30,081
But I think we can kind of see,
just as people that are high

94
00:06:30,101 --> 00:06:35,160
performing in normal life the
people that are high performing

95
00:06:36,149 --> 00:06:42,267
in any sporting arena, they
share one common skill set,

96
00:06:43,543 --> 00:06:46,273
which is what I would call brain
state intelligence.

97
00:06:46,273 --> 00:06:50,264
It's just that in our normal
lives we can now start to use AI

98
00:06:50,264 --> 00:06:53,012
technologies to supercharge
that.

99
00:06:53,012 --> 00:06:57,334
So I hope that's a helpful
insight and it's got you

100
00:06:57,394 --> 00:06:57,879
thinking.

101
00:07:00,603 --> 00:07:03,685
As I said at the start, I think
things are really going to ramp

102
00:07:03,766 --> 00:07:04,086
up now.

103
00:07:04,086 --> 00:07:08,711
So if you've been thinking
about whether it's reading,

104
00:07:08,752 --> 00:07:12,175
train your brain for the higher
revolution, doing the new mini

105
00:07:12,196 --> 00:07:21,331
course, even been thinking about
becoming a brain state

106
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:22,939
intelligence practitioner or
even becoming a certified coach,

107
00:07:22,939 --> 00:07:25,889
or you're thinking about
actually my people need some

108
00:07:25,928 --> 00:07:28,526
training on this, now is the
time to do it.

109
00:07:28,526 --> 00:07:32,968
That's what every data point
I've seen suggests.

110
00:07:32,968 --> 00:07:35,766
So get ahead of this curve.

111
00:07:35,766 --> 00:07:41,720
Don't get left behind and use
this exciting period of history

112
00:07:42,723 --> 00:07:48,122
to benefit you, to benefit your
family, to benefit the people

113
00:07:48,223 --> 00:07:48,684
you work with.

114
00:07:48,684 --> 00:07:48,884
You know.

115
00:07:48,884 --> 00:07:51,550
Don't look back in six months
and regret kind of missing the

116
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:52,661
opportunity to get ahead.

117
00:07:52,661 --> 00:07:55,687
And it doesn't matter where our
brain state intelligence is

118
00:07:55,769 --> 00:07:56,189
right now.

119
00:07:56,189 --> 00:07:59,363
We can improve it and that's
why we always say you only have

120
00:07:59,384 --> 00:08:01,848
a one brain state habit away.
