1
00:00:21,292 --> 00:00:22,856
Speaker 1: Hello Habit Mechanics
.

2
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,118
It's Dr John Finn here.

3
00:00:24,118 --> 00:00:25,402
I hope you're having a great
week.

4
00:00:25,402 --> 00:00:31,496
So far, yet again, we've seen
the acceleration of the AI era

5
00:00:32,457 --> 00:00:37,545
come hurtling towards us at a
pace that I don't think anybody

6
00:00:37,585 --> 00:00:38,265
has predicted.

7
00:00:38,265 --> 00:00:45,694
There's been so many
interesting news stories, so

8
00:00:45,754 --> 00:00:50,685
many interesting insights about
results, about what businesses

9
00:00:50,704 --> 00:00:54,755
have invested, what's coming
down the pipeline, what they're

10
00:00:54,875 --> 00:00:57,481
projecting, the technologies
have invested in can actually do

11
00:00:57,481 --> 00:00:57,481
.

12
00:00:58,972 --> 00:01:04,180
Um, so some really, I think,
exciting things are going to be

13
00:01:04,219 --> 00:01:10,253
coming in the next weeks and
months, and I just wanted to

14
00:01:10,272 --> 00:01:15,042
talk very practically today
about what we can do to help

15
00:01:15,122 --> 00:01:23,781
ourselves thrive, and sport is a
great way to see performance

16
00:01:23,801 --> 00:01:25,705
psychology expressed physically.

17
00:01:25,705 --> 00:01:30,793
It's a bit more difficult when
we're sitting at our desks doing

18
00:01:30,793 --> 00:01:36,759
the work we do every day to
observe it, but in sport it's

19
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:37,342
much clearer.

20
00:01:37,342 --> 00:01:43,052
And what we just had in the UK,
and actually in Leeds, at the

21
00:01:43,133 --> 00:01:47,837
famous Headingley Stadium, was a
test match, the first test

22
00:01:47,877 --> 00:01:53,563
match in a five-match series
between England and India, two

23
00:01:53,623 --> 00:02:10,512
of the best teams in the world,
and it was an epic test match,

24
00:02:10,532 --> 00:02:11,854
one which will go down in the
history books as one of the

25
00:02:11,894 --> 00:02:13,235
greatest, but one which England
ultimately came out on top and

26
00:02:13,256 --> 00:02:14,457
won the game and what was
striking about England's

27
00:02:14,478 --> 00:02:16,621
performance, in particular their
batting, was how good they were

28
00:02:16,621 --> 00:02:20,728
or how good their brain state
intelligence was.

29
00:02:20,728 --> 00:02:24,277
Yeah, that's what we're coming
on to to.

30
00:02:24,277 --> 00:02:27,591
So we know that we've created
this new field of psychology

31
00:02:27,651 --> 00:02:33,121
human ai performance psychology
to help people thrive as they

32
00:02:33,162 --> 00:02:37,159
work alongside ai, as we move to
these smaller teams of of

33
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,109
humans, and that's why we're
going to see cuts in the

34
00:02:39,149 --> 00:02:43,740
workforce right, because we will
need less humans, certainly in

35
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,403
the jobs humans are currently
being paid for.

36
00:02:45,403 --> 00:02:47,657
Other jobs may be created, we
don't know.

37
00:02:47,657 --> 00:02:53,206
But the sort of practical
application of human high

38
00:02:53,225 --> 00:02:58,052
performance psychology is brain
state intelligence and just

39
00:02:59,438 --> 00:03:01,557
earlier this week we actually
released a new training

40
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:05,789
programme for personal mastery
which is called the advanced

41
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:08,175
brain state intelligence
certification.

42
00:03:08,175 --> 00:03:11,643
So it's a five-week online
program where you have some

43
00:03:11,870 --> 00:03:17,500
one-to-one coaching, support and
um used to train you how to

44
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,582
become brain state intelligent.

45
00:03:20,265 --> 00:03:27,659
But what we saw with the England
cricket team and the England

46
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:40,344
batsmen particularly, was a real
awareness of controlling their

47
00:03:40,405 --> 00:03:41,466
activation levels.

48
00:03:41,466 --> 00:03:48,308
So in the past they've been
accused of, in my language, not

49
00:03:48,349 --> 00:03:52,296
controlling their activation
levels, not being brain state

50
00:03:52,336 --> 00:03:59,373
intelligent, but in the test
match that's just gone, what we

51
00:03:59,414 --> 00:04:01,179
saw was a much greater awareness
of.

52
00:04:01,179 --> 00:04:03,765
They would call it, in cricket,
going up and down the gears,

53
00:04:03,786 --> 00:04:06,212
but I, in cricket, going up and
down the gears, but I would call

54
00:04:06,212 --> 00:04:08,927
it going up and down the brain
states because I want to come

55
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:11,895
from a first principle
perspective and ultimately,

56
00:04:11,996 --> 00:04:13,920
neurons are driving the
behaviour.

57
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:22,377
So this awareness of when to
attack, when to defend, when to

58
00:04:22,418 --> 00:04:27,824
go fast, when to go slow, and
what we saw just in a cricket

59
00:04:27,944 --> 00:04:35,836
innings, we can extrapolate that
or we can compare that to a

60
00:04:35,877 --> 00:04:40,055
24-hour period in your life, and
this is what brain state

61
00:04:40,095 --> 00:04:40,997
intelligence is all about.

62
00:04:41,069 --> 00:04:46,367
It's about knowing when to
recharge and what to do so you

63
00:04:46,388 --> 00:04:48,012
secure high quality recharge.

64
00:04:48,012 --> 00:04:55,524
It's about understanding how to
properly do high charge, how to

65
00:04:55,524 --> 00:04:59,718
focus and concentrate really
intensely when you need to, and

66
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:02,451
it's about understanding how to
optimize the way that you do

67
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:06,502
medium charge work and when we
extend that into our own lives.

68
00:05:06,502 --> 00:05:11,033
This is where the AI comes in,
because we know we can use AI to

69
00:05:11,033 --> 00:05:17,336
extend, augment, supercharge or
however you want to call it our

70
00:05:17,336 --> 00:05:21,456
high-charge work, because
essentially, by working with

71
00:05:21,477 --> 00:05:26,679
generative AI like you're trying
to create a strategy report or

72
00:05:26,699 --> 00:05:30,038
a marketing plan and you're
going to use Claude or ChatGTP

73
00:05:31,638 --> 00:05:35,076
this is like outsourcing brain
power so you can create the

74
00:05:35,096 --> 00:05:40,598
business plan faster because you
don't have to completely depend

75
00:05:40,598 --> 00:05:43,516
on your own brain power and
your own energy resources.

76
00:05:43,516 --> 00:05:49,900
Remember, our brain is powered
by chemicals and sort of

77
00:05:49,939 --> 00:05:51,483
self-generated electricity.

78
00:05:51,483 --> 00:05:54,872
Ai is plugged into the mains
right, so it has a much more

79
00:05:54,973 --> 00:05:56,557
stable power supply than we do.

80
00:05:56,557 --> 00:06:02,495
Um, and then medium charge work
we can outsource completely and

81
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:06,468
we're going to see much more of
this, um, I think, in the

82
00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:08,394
coming weeks and months where
we'll see businesses have

83
00:06:08,977 --> 00:06:13,638
invested significant sums of
money into agentic ai that are

84
00:06:13,677 --> 00:06:17,429
basically digital workers, but
they can take a lot of the

85
00:06:17,449 --> 00:06:20,757
mundane work off our plate,
which means it frees up more

86
00:06:20,918 --> 00:06:21,740
recharge time.

87
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:24,757
We don't need to be working at
the desk till 11 o'clock at

88
00:06:24,817 --> 00:06:30,060
night and that means we can
better charge our brain power up

89
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:31,182
for those high charge moments.

90
00:06:32,752 --> 00:06:36,478
So I appreciate you might not be
a cricket fan, you might not.

91
00:06:36,478 --> 00:06:42,314
You might not know even what
cricket is, um, or sort of what

92
00:06:42,334 --> 00:06:43,257
the rules are, etc.

93
00:06:43,257 --> 00:06:50,012
But I think we can kind of see,
just as people that are high

94
00:06:50,031 --> 00:06:55,090
performing in normal life the
people that are high performing

95
00:06:56,079 --> 00:07:02,197
in any sporting arena, they
share one common skill set,

96
00:07:03,473 --> 00:07:06,203
which is what I would call brain
state intelligence.

97
00:07:06,203 --> 00:07:10,194
It's just that in our normal
lives we can now start to use AI

98
00:07:10,194 --> 00:07:12,942
technologies to supercharge
that.

99
00:07:12,942 --> 00:07:17,264
So I hope that's a helpful
insight and it's got you

100
00:07:17,324 --> 00:07:17,810
thinking.

101
00:07:20,533 --> 00:07:23,615
As I said at the start, I think
things are really going to ramp

102
00:07:23,696 --> 00:07:24,016
up now.

103
00:07:24,016 --> 00:07:28,641
So if you've been thinking
about whether it's reading,

104
00:07:28,682 --> 00:07:32,105
train your brain for the higher
revolution, doing the new mini

105
00:07:32,126 --> 00:07:41,261
course, even been thinking about
becoming a brain state

106
00:07:41,281 --> 00:07:42,869
intelligence practitioner or
even becoming a certified coach,

107
00:07:42,869 --> 00:07:45,819
or you're thinking about
actually my people need some

108
00:07:45,858 --> 00:07:48,456
training on this, now is the
time to do it.

109
00:07:48,456 --> 00:07:52,899
That's what every data point
I've seen suggests.

110
00:07:52,899 --> 00:07:55,697
So get ahead of this curve.

111
00:07:55,697 --> 00:08:01,650
Don't get left behind and use
this exciting period of history

112
00:08:02,653 --> 00:08:08,052
to benefit you, to benefit your
family, to benefit the people

113
00:08:08,153 --> 00:08:08,614
you work with.

114
00:08:08,614 --> 00:08:08,814
You know.

115
00:08:08,814 --> 00:08:11,480
Don't look back in six months
and regret kind of missing the

116
00:08:11,501 --> 00:08:12,591
opportunity to get ahead.

117
00:08:12,591 --> 00:08:15,617
And it doesn't matter where our
brain state intelligence is

118
00:08:15,699 --> 00:08:16,120
right now.

119
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,293
We can improve it and that's
why we always say you only have

120
00:08:19,314 --> 00:08:21,778
a one brain state habit away.
