1 00:00:01,784 --> 00:00:03,266 Speaker 1: Hello Habit Mechanics . 2 00:00:03,266 --> 00:00:04,429 It's Dr John Finn here. 3 00:00:04,429 --> 00:00:06,312 I hope you're having a great week so far. 4 00:00:06,312 --> 00:00:12,032 Today I want to talk about August and making August great. 5 00:00:12,032 --> 00:00:20,106 The AI story impact continues to grow. 6 00:00:20,106 --> 00:00:27,416 Just noticed in the last day or so how microsoft shares and 7 00:00:27,696 --> 00:00:33,767 meta shares have really outperforming are really 8 00:00:33,786 --> 00:00:37,421 outperforming expectations, and these are two of the drivers of 9 00:00:37,442 --> 00:00:38,363 ai technology. 10 00:00:38,384 --> 00:00:42,634 So that tells you about the you know market confidence in these 11 00:00:43,896 --> 00:00:47,722 technologies and how they are changing pretty much everything 12 00:00:47,942 --> 00:00:55,213 about how we live, how we work, and I know for many people, 13 00:00:55,433 --> 00:01:01,151 august is a time of reflection, uh, time to sort of stop and 14 00:01:01,390 --> 00:01:04,778 take a holiday, or people may have just come back from holiday 15 00:01:04,778 --> 00:01:08,990 and maybe just be thinking about what they've reflected on. 16 00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:14,647 And people are starting to plan for September, and certainly 17 00:01:14,667 --> 00:01:17,754 many people I know they really want to make September. 18 00:01:17,754 --> 00:01:19,739 Uh, it's almost like the January. 19 00:01:19,739 --> 00:01:24,751 Right, it's a bit of a reset time to to work on yourself and 20 00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:28,364 do all those things that you always wanted to do, or to fix 21 00:01:28,465 --> 00:01:31,932 the little bumps in your health, your happiness, your 22 00:01:31,971 --> 00:01:34,240 performance that are holding you back. 23 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:42,510 What we found over the last few years is that people have had 24 00:01:42,551 --> 00:01:48,281 these great intentions for September but they've failed and 25 00:01:48,281 --> 00:01:50,156 often, you know, they're getting into the middle of 26 00:01:50,237 --> 00:01:54,599 October before they can start to actually do the kind of things 27 00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:57,319 or start doing the kind of things that they want to do, and 28 00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,605 then, before they know it, it's early, it's December and you 29 00:02:01,626 --> 00:02:03,271 know Christmas, et cetera, is on the horizon. 30 00:02:03,271 --> 00:02:08,323 So what I want to do in August is I want to help people to just 31 00:02:08,323 --> 00:02:14,818 put the foundational habits in place so that, when you hit 32 00:02:15,139 --> 00:02:18,224 September, you've got the very best chance of being at your 33 00:02:18,265 --> 00:02:18,686 best. 34 00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:23,487 So this month, every month, in our AI era leadership 35 00:02:23,528 --> 00:02:25,219 accelerator, we have a monthly mission. 36 00:02:25,219 --> 00:02:29,688 This month, we're going to really double down on getting 37 00:02:29,748 --> 00:02:34,443 our brains working really well, and that means focusing on 38 00:02:34,463 --> 00:02:37,090 better sleep, better diet, better exercise, because they're 39 00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:40,383 the core ingredients for positive brain function. 40 00:02:40,383 --> 00:02:42,831 So that's what we're going to be thinking about. 41 00:02:42,831 --> 00:02:47,264 So we have a core tool that we use, called the des swap um. 42 00:02:47,264 --> 00:02:49,127 We're going to run some live events. 43 00:02:49,127 --> 00:02:51,673 I just have that as the focus now. 44 00:02:51,712 --> 00:02:56,604 This doesn't mean that we have to be um, living like monks in 45 00:02:57,186 --> 00:02:58,848 uh, august. 46 00:02:58,848 --> 00:03:06,197 It just means if we're more aware of how we are sleeping, 47 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,346 the kind of stuff we're putting into our bodies and how we're 48 00:03:11,385 --> 00:03:15,947 exercising or not, then we've got a better chance of doing it 49 00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:17,592 a little bit better. 50 00:03:17,592 --> 00:03:21,567 Or if we decide you know what I'm going to have this week 51 00:03:21,627 --> 00:03:29,471 where I let my hair down, just completely switch off, relax. 52 00:03:29,471 --> 00:03:34,350 Even then, if we're checking in with our diet, exercise and 53 00:03:34,411 --> 00:03:38,820 sleep, we're going to feel less guilty about doing that, but 54 00:03:38,881 --> 00:03:42,645 also, just the habit of checking in is going to then live past 55 00:03:42,705 --> 00:03:46,403 that week or two week period so that when we get back into 56 00:03:46,463 --> 00:03:51,622 wanting to get back into our normal routines, then we have 57 00:03:51,662 --> 00:03:58,954 that foundational habit of just paying attention to those 58 00:03:59,895 --> 00:04:03,104 foundational factors for good brain function, good brain 59 00:04:03,123 --> 00:04:04,486 health, that is, sleep, diet, exercise. 60 00:04:04,486 --> 00:04:09,626 So that's what we're going to focus on in there um, ai era 61 00:04:09,665 --> 00:04:11,896 leadership accelerator, which is our monthly membership. 62 00:04:11,896 --> 00:04:13,020 In there. 63 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:18,774 We post every day um, so we have loads of our pretty much 64 00:04:18,874 --> 00:04:23,663 our entire back catalogue of of tools, um that are available, 65 00:04:24,084 --> 00:04:27,136 and then we have a structured program over the month to help 66 00:04:27,437 --> 00:04:29,901 people thrive and be at their best. 67 00:04:31,122 --> 00:04:37,778 And why I think this is more important than ever is I've just 68 00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:42,384 seen in the last week some amazing AI tools. 69 00:04:42,384 --> 00:04:50,281 I mean, they are unbelievable and what they can do is 70 00:04:50,562 --> 00:04:55,434 phenomenal, and I think what we're going to start to see in 71 00:04:55,473 --> 00:05:01,550 September onwards is the rollout of more and more of these very 72 00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:03,074 sector-specific technologies. 73 00:05:03,074 --> 00:05:07,389 These very sector-specific technologies. 74 00:05:07,389 --> 00:05:13,966 I saw one yesterday from a very , very big global marketing 75 00:05:13,987 --> 00:05:15,495 agency that is like an LLM and a Gen2KI plugged together 76 00:05:15,615 --> 00:05:18,757 specifically for marketing and it's basically a marketing 77 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,026 agency in an app. 78 00:05:22,026 --> 00:05:25,291 I mean it's phenomenal and it's a baby, and these things are 79 00:05:25,312 --> 00:05:26,697 going to get better and better and better. 80 00:05:26,697 --> 00:05:31,387 My point is is that we're only going to be valuable in our own 81 00:05:31,427 --> 00:05:35,487 lives, to our businesses, to the businesses we work for, if we 82 00:05:35,528 --> 00:05:39,259 can get into those high charge brain states, and the foundation 83 00:05:39,259 --> 00:05:42,387 of doing that is good recharge, good sleep, good diet, good 84 00:05:42,406 --> 00:05:42,928 exercise. 85 00:05:42,928 --> 00:05:47,459 So I actually think this August period is one of the most 86 00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:51,831 important that we've had for our health, for our happiness, for 87 00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:54,281 our performance, because as we go into September, october, 88 00:05:54,322 --> 00:05:58,860 november, these competitor technologies to the things that 89 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:02,283 we get paid for every day are going to start to be scaled up. 90 00:06:02,283 --> 00:06:13,149 But we can become ai proof if we keep building and developing 91 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:19,543 our brain state intelligence, and the foundation of that is a 92 00:06:19,925 --> 00:06:22,069 good recharge, good recovery, and that's what we're going to 93 00:06:22,088 --> 00:06:25,425 focus on in the aiR accelerator this month. 94 00:06:28,745 --> 00:06:33,031 And the guy in the tractor is just going past me spraying the 95 00:06:33,072 --> 00:06:35,221 pavement with I don't know what he's spraying the pavement with 96 00:06:35,857 --> 00:06:37,221 doesn't look to be particularly effective. 97 00:06:37,221 --> 00:06:41,639 To be honest with you, that's what the noise is, okay. 98 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:43,454 Thank you so much for listening . 99 00:06:43,454 --> 00:06:47,826 I'm not in a rural area, by the way. 100 00:06:47,826 --> 00:06:52,262 I'm in pretty much the city centre of one of the biggest 101 00:06:52,281 --> 00:06:54,555 cities in the UK, so that's a bit odd, but anyway. 102 00:06:54,555 --> 00:06:59,454 So, if you wanted, if you're a member of the AIRA Accelerator, 103 00:06:59,475 --> 00:07:00,454 then we'll see you in there. 104 00:07:00,454 --> 00:07:03,504 If you want to sign up, you'll see some emails from us and I'll 105 00:07:03,504 --> 00:07:03,846 see you in there. 106 00:07:03,846 --> 00:07:05,216 If you want to sign up, you'll see some emails from us and I'll 107 00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:07,704 put a link beneath the podcast so you can do that. 108 00:07:07,704 --> 00:07:11,718 And, yeah, looking forward to working with you and supporting 109 00:07:11,838 --> 00:07:14,603 with you and, as ever, if you have any questions, just let us 110 00:07:14,622 --> 00:07:14,843 know. 111 00:07:14,843 --> 00:07:18,583 You're only ever one brain state habit away.
