I was a scholarship student and I was going to become a neuroscientist.

And I studied the brain a lot.

And I was certain now I was moving from the computer out there to the computer between our ears.

And I thought I'd finally found the ultimate hack.

And then ultimately in high school and on, I became more interested in the mind.

And I began to think, no, the mind is the most powerful computer, the most powerful thing that can create your reality.

And that led me on a journey into becoming an actor, becoming an artist, becoming a poet, becoming a romantic.

So I expand the different layers of technology from the outer tech to the inner tech.

And then eventually as an actor, I had a near death experience while shooting a movie.

and that experience cracked me open and i had a profound experience i won't go into all the details but i touched what i only came to realize i would say is the source of intelligence and almost like the you know the the real programmer behind all the programs and programming and that sent me on such a journey that i became a monk

and joined a monastery for a brief period.

And eventually I came out with a different realization.

I had gone from the outer technology to the inner technology.

And then I spent the last 20 plus years helping hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people around the world, including many Fortune 500 executives and companies and Oscar and Emmy winners and

coaches and teachers and authors and artists and creators and entrepreneurs, how to master the inner technology.

And then about, I don't know, I forget how many years ago it's been now, before ChatGPT, before AI was in the mainstream,

I was aware that things were happening, but then one day I was meditating and I had, you could say it's a vision or a moment of insanity, but it turned out I wasn't crazy.

And I heard the words, build an ark, the flood is coming.

And it showed me what was going to unfold with AI and that it was going to be one of the greatest existential crises we ever faced.

And also one of the greatest opportunities to become the kinds of humans that we're actually meant to be.
