The therapist asks you questions like, why didn't they make you feel? Why did you do that? What's going on? If we do our own questions like, what's next? What goes before this? Your mind comes up with the answer if you ask the right question. So I've used this for like, we usually ask unempowering questions.

You know, the words we use in ourselves are so important, but some of the questions like, why am I such a loser? Well, I can give you 10 answers right now. But if I change it to, what three things could I come up with to start this week that would not just change my life, but everyone around me? You don't come up with three. You come up with like 15. You just keep coming out.

And as you look at them, you go, these kind of go together and are actionable. I can actually start this right now. I mean, you can literally change your life. Business ideas, movie ideas, stories, just with a deck of cards. By the time I build up and show all the examples of it at the end of the talk, I hold up one of these with the rubber bands to the crowd.

And I say, who wants to change your life? Everybody's hands go up. I toss one out. They catch it. In fact, I remember my nephew about seven years ago caught one. And it's funny because he's on Broadway now. It's just like lets you map out your life. Another friend of mine, DJ Catrone, he's an actor, he caught one, and he said, wow, that talk you gave was so empowering on how you wrote it.

I went home, and I picked up an old script I hadn't picked up in a while, and I just cut off the phone for three days, and I finished it. And I said, you finished a script in three days? I like the feedback loop that happens when you inspire somebody. I'm going to try that, because I've got a bunch of half-baked ideas that I've never gone and done that with. You did it in three days? Yeah.

Yeah, if you shut the phone off, you can do it in three days. And now that movie's out. It's coming out. It's called Fight or Flight with Josh Hartnett. Wow. After hearing the talk, he went and picked up this old thing that he thought. And I get this a lot when I've talked to people. It's really inspiring to them to hear other people. That's why I'll ask you questions about it too.

Writers will often put index cards up to just kind of block out a scene. It's a visual way to see your story. Like when you lay it out and you go, oh, this works. I'm missing a section here. But again, like this is asking you, what can I put there? you'll come up with a bunch of ideas. It almost gives you like an overview. But I started it when I was a cartoonist. I had a daily cartoon strip.

So I would draw on different cards, different drawings. And every day I had to come up with a comedic idea and a drawing and a story. And it was tough. You'd have to draw it out. And you would sometimes make two drawings that you really liked and go, oh, this kind of is the setup. One, two, three, pay off for the joke here. And they'd come up with it like that. So I kind of use it for everything.
