1
00:00:21,713 --> 00:00:23,196
Speaker 1: Hello Habit Mechanics
.

2
00:00:23,196 --> 00:00:24,359
It's Dr John Finn here.

3
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:26,242
I hope you're having a great
week so far.

4
00:00:26,242 --> 00:00:31,961
Today I want to talk about
August and making August great.

5
00:00:31,961 --> 00:00:40,036
The AI story impact continues
to grow.

6
00:00:40,036 --> 00:00:47,346
Just noticed in the last day or
so how microsoft shares and

7
00:00:47,626 --> 00:00:53,697
meta shares have really
outperforming are really

8
00:00:53,716 --> 00:00:57,351
outperforming expectations, and
these are two of the drivers of

9
00:00:57,371 --> 00:00:58,293
ai technology.

10
00:00:58,314 --> 00:01:02,564
So that tells you about the you
know market confidence in these

11
00:01:03,826 --> 00:01:07,652
technologies and how they are
changing pretty much everything

12
00:01:07,872 --> 00:01:15,144
about how we live, how we work,
and I know for many people,

13
00:01:15,364 --> 00:01:21,081
august is a time of reflection,
uh, time to sort of stop and

14
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:24,709
take a holiday, or people may
have just come back from holiday

15
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:28,920
and maybe just be thinking
about what they've reflected on.

16
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,576
And people are starting to plan
for September, and certainly

17
00:01:34,597 --> 00:01:37,685
many people I know they really
want to make September.

18
00:01:37,685 --> 00:01:39,669
Uh, it's almost like the
January.

19
00:01:39,669 --> 00:01:44,681
Right, it's a bit of a reset
time to to work on yourself and

20
00:01:44,721 --> 00:01:48,294
do all those things that you
always wanted to do, or to fix

21
00:01:48,395 --> 00:01:51,861
the little bumps in your health,
your happiness, your

22
00:01:51,901 --> 00:01:54,170
performance that are holding you
back.

23
00:01:54,170 --> 00:02:02,441
What we found over the last few
years is that people have had

24
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,211
these great intentions for
September but they've failed and

25
00:02:08,211 --> 00:02:10,086
often, you know, they're
getting into the middle of

26
00:02:10,168 --> 00:02:14,530
October before they can start to
actually do the kind of things

27
00:02:14,629 --> 00:02:17,250
or start doing the kind of
things that they want to do, and

28
00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:21,536
then, before they know it, it's
early, it's December and you

29
00:02:21,556 --> 00:02:23,200
know Christmas, et cetera, is on
the horizon.

30
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,253
So what I want to do in August
is I want to help people to just

31
00:02:28,253 --> 00:02:34,748
put the foundational habits in
place so that, when you hit

32
00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:38,155
September, you've got the very
best chance of being at your

33
00:02:38,195 --> 00:02:38,616
best.

34
00:02:39,778 --> 00:02:43,418
So this month, every month, in
our AI era leadership

35
00:02:43,459 --> 00:02:45,150
accelerator, we have a monthly
mission.

36
00:02:45,150 --> 00:02:49,618
This month, we're going to
really double down on getting

37
00:02:49,679 --> 00:02:54,373
our brains working really well,
and that means focusing on

38
00:02:54,394 --> 00:02:57,020
better sleep, better diet,
better exercise, because they're

39
00:02:57,020 --> 00:03:00,313
the core ingredients for
positive brain function.

40
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:02,762
So that's what we're going to
be thinking about.

41
00:03:02,762 --> 00:03:07,194
So we have a core tool that we
use, called the des swap um.

42
00:03:07,194 --> 00:03:09,057
We're going to run some live
events.

43
00:03:09,057 --> 00:03:11,603
I just have that as the focus
now.

44
00:03:11,643 --> 00:03:16,534
This doesn't mean that we have
to be um, living like monks in

45
00:03:17,116 --> 00:03:18,778
uh, august.

46
00:03:18,778 --> 00:03:26,127
It just means if we're more
aware of how we are sleeping,

47
00:03:27,330 --> 00:03:31,276
the kind of stuff we're putting
into our bodies and how we're

48
00:03:31,316 --> 00:03:35,877
exercising or not, then we've
got a better chance of doing it

49
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,522
a little bit better.

50
00:03:37,522 --> 00:03:41,497
Or if we decide you know what
I'm going to have this week

51
00:03:41,557 --> 00:03:49,401
where I let my hair down, just
completely switch off, relax.

52
00:03:49,401 --> 00:03:54,281
Even then, if we're checking in
with our diet, exercise and

53
00:03:54,341 --> 00:03:58,751
sleep, we're going to feel less
guilty about doing that, but

54
00:03:58,811 --> 00:04:02,575
also, just the habit of checking
in is going to then live past

55
00:04:02,635 --> 00:04:06,334
that week or two week period so
that when we get back into

56
00:04:06,394 --> 00:04:11,552
wanting to get back into our
normal routines, then we have

57
00:04:11,592 --> 00:04:18,884
that foundational habit of just
paying attention to those

58
00:04:19,825 --> 00:04:23,033
foundational factors for good
brain function, good brain

59
00:04:23,053 --> 00:04:24,416
health, that is, sleep, diet,
exercise.

60
00:04:24,416 --> 00:04:29,555
So that's what we're going to
focus on in there um, ai era

61
00:04:29,596 --> 00:04:31,826
leadership accelerator, which is
our monthly membership.

62
00:04:31,826 --> 00:04:32,949
In there.

63
00:04:32,949 --> 00:04:38,704
We post every day um, so we
have loads of our pretty much

64
00:04:38,804 --> 00:04:43,593
our entire back catalogue of of
tools, um that are available,

65
00:04:44,014 --> 00:04:47,066
and then we have a structured
program over the month to help

66
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:49,831
people thrive and be at their
best.

67
00:04:51,052 --> 00:04:57,709
And why I think this is more
important than ever is I've just

68
00:04:57,709 --> 00:05:02,314
seen in the last week some
amazing AI tools.

69
00:05:02,314 --> 00:05:10,211
I mean, they are unbelievable
and what they can do is

70
00:05:10,492 --> 00:05:15,364
phenomenal, and I think what
we're going to start to see in

71
00:05:15,403 --> 00:05:21,480
September onwards is the rollout
of more and more of these very

72
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,004
sector-specific technologies.

73
00:05:23,004 --> 00:05:27,319
These very sector-specific
technologies.

74
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:33,896
I saw one yesterday from a very
, very big global marketing

75
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:35,425
agency that is like an LLM and a
Gen2KI plugged together

76
00:05:35,545 --> 00:05:38,687
specifically for marketing and
it's basically a marketing

77
00:05:39,530 --> 00:05:41,956
agency in an app.

78
00:05:41,956 --> 00:05:45,221
I mean it's phenomenal and it's
a baby, and these things are

79
00:05:45,242 --> 00:05:46,627
going to get better and better
and better.

80
00:05:46,627 --> 00:05:51,317
My point is is that we're only
going to be valuable in our own

81
00:05:51,358 --> 00:05:55,418
lives, to our businesses, to the
businesses we work for, if we

82
00:05:55,458 --> 00:05:59,189
can get into those high charge
brain states, and the foundation

83
00:05:59,189 --> 00:06:02,317
of doing that is good recharge,
good sleep, good diet, good

84
00:06:02,336 --> 00:06:02,858
exercise.

85
00:06:02,858 --> 00:06:07,389
So I actually think this August
period is one of the most

86
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:11,761
important that we've had for our
health, for our happiness, for

87
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,211
our performance, because as we
go into September, october,

88
00:06:14,252 --> 00:06:18,790
november, these competitor
technologies to the things that

89
00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:22,213
we get paid for every day are
going to start to be scaled up.

90
00:06:22,213 --> 00:06:33,079
But we can become ai proof if
we keep building and developing

91
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,473
our brain state intelligence,
and the foundation of that is a

92
00:06:39,855 --> 00:06:41,999
good recharge, good recovery,
and that's what we're going to

93
00:06:42,019 --> 00:06:45,355
focus on in the aiR accelerator
this month.

94
00:06:48,675 --> 00:06:52,961
And the guy in the tractor is
just going past me spraying the

95
00:06:53,002 --> 00:06:55,151
pavement with I don't know what
he's spraying the pavement with

96
00:06:55,787 --> 00:06:57,151
doesn't look to be particularly
effective.

97
00:06:57,151 --> 00:07:01,569
To be honest with you, that's
what the noise is, okay.

98
00:07:01,569 --> 00:07:03,384
Thank you so much for listening
.

99
00:07:03,384 --> 00:07:07,756
I'm not in a rural area, by the
way.

100
00:07:07,756 --> 00:07:12,192
I'm in pretty much the city
centre of one of the biggest

101
00:07:12,211 --> 00:07:14,485
cities in the UK, so that's a
bit odd, but anyway.

102
00:07:14,485 --> 00:07:19,384
So, if you wanted, if you're a
member of the AIRA Accelerator,

103
00:07:19,405 --> 00:07:20,384
then we'll see you in there.

104
00:07:20,384 --> 00:07:23,434

You're only ever one brain
state habit away.
