1
Most people say they want a better life,
2
more purpose, more freedom, more energy.
3
But wanting isn't the hard part.
4
What I've seen after working with tens of thousands of leaders,
5
entrepreneurs, creatives, and career professionals is that how you move through your day,
6
the small decisions you make,
7
the mindset you carry with you into rooms,
8
these are the things that quietly build the life you're living.
9
And often, they're the same things keeping you stuck in one that you've outgrown.
10
Everyone I've ever come across who's created a life they truly love all had something in common.
11
They didn't just want a better life,
12
they showed up for it.
13
And whether they were aware of it or not,
14
they had patterns, ways of thinking,
15
ways of behaving, small consistent shifts that helped them break free from autopilot and move towards something more intentional.
16
So I'm going to walk you through four of those shifts.
17
These are not fluffy affirmations,
18
they are practical psychology-backed principles that you can start applying today.
19
These are the same principles that changed my own career path,
20
helped me grow a global business and led to the life that I now have,
21
one that I find deeply fulfilling.
22
So let's get into it.
23
The very first shift to create the life you want,
24
which also happens to be one of the most underestimated by people, is this.
25
Show up for it.
26
This might sound obvious, but so many people say they want a better life
27
while continuing to show up as the version of themselves that's settling.
28
And I completely get it.
29
When I started working out in the legal industry,
30
I looked at all the people around me in their gray,
31
black, and brown suits, and I bought exactly the same thing.
32
My entire wardrobe looked like a grayscale mood board.
33
I was playing the role,
34
and for a while in corporate that served me well.
35
I fit in and I didn't stand out.
36
It was what was expected.
37
But then, when I moved into banking,
38
I started experimenting with more color,
39
more personality, and I noticed something really interesting.
40
People responded to me differently.
41
I felt different, and I carried that energy into rooms and interactions.
42
I spoke with more confidence and people listened more closely.
43
Have you ever noticed that people respond to you differently when you show up differently?
44
There's actually psychology behind this.
45
The first part is because of social signaling.
46
Humans are wired to interpret social cues.
47
When you consistently signal confidence,
48
intentionality, or value through the way that you speak,
49
show up, or dress, others start treating you as someone who embodies those traits.
50
And that feedback reinforces your own belief.
51
Not only that, there's also the effect of something called embodied cognition.
52
This is the idea that your body doesn't just reflect your emotions,
53
it helps shape them.
54
So the way that you move,
55
how you hold yourself, how you speak,
56
this all sends signals back to your brain.
57
So when I started dressing more like me,
58
even if admittedly it was still a muted version,
59
it made me feel a little more aligned, more grounded.
60
and that changed how I showed up.
61
I felt more confident and that came across.
62
Now a few years later
63
when I discovered how passionate I was about applying psychology principles to help people live and work better,
64
I knew that sharing that message on stages would give me the fulfillment and the impact I was searching for.
65
But I also knew I wasn't ready to transition into doing that full-time.
66
I was in the middle of building my banking career.
67
At the same time though,
68
I knew I needed to start somewhere with something.
69
So I arranged to get some professional headshots taken.
70
I created a very, very basic speaking website.
71
I offered to speak for free for community events and even delivered sessions during lunchtime to other teams in other departments.
72
I made sure I got photos and video footage and then I shared what I was doing.
73
There is a psychological principle that says that we don't just act based on who we think we are.
74
We actually figure out who we are by watching ourselves in action.
75
When I created that very basic speaker website,
76
when I offered these free talks and I gathered this video footage,
77
I was teaching myself, I am someone who speaks and empowers.
78
I am someone who creates my own opportunities.
79
And then with each action,
80
that belief became more true.
81
Soon enough I had to start saying no to speaking offers
82
because there were just too many and I had a day job to get through.
83
I didn't wait for the new life to show up first.
84
I showed up for it while still fully inside the old one.
85
So
86
if you're wondering where to begin ask yourself what would it
87
look like to show up today as the version of you who already has what you want.
88
How would they speak?
89
How would they treat others?
90
How would they walk into a room?
91
How would they dress and what would they prioritize?
92
That's the version the world responds to.
93
And more importantly, that's the version you start to believe in.
94
So show up for it now.
95
This episode is brought to you by Big Trust,
96
my new book which is coming out January 20th, 2026.
97
Best-selling author Sahil Bloom called it a timely and powerful guide for anyone who's ever second-guessed themselves.
98
I'll share more about it later.
99
Let's dive back in.
100
The second shift is what's going to make this first shift a lot easier.
101
Shift number two is to be around people who have the life you want or are creating the life you want.
102
Have you ever found that you're more motivated to work out when you're at the gym,
103
seeing everyone else work out,
104
or feel more like quietly reading a book when you're at the library?
105
There's a reason why the people we spend time with shape our standards.
106
There's a whole body of research on something called social contagion,
107
which is the idea that beliefs,
108
moods, habits, and even levels of drive and passion spread through social groups like Wildfire.
109
And it goes both ways.
110
When I was a kid,
111
I used to watch The Muppets with my big brother Ryan,
112
so when I heard this story,
113
it stuck with me for more than one reason.
114
Jim Henson is the creator of The Muppets.
115
When he was young, he started making puppets.
116
A teacher saw him and said,
117
you're wasting your time with those puppets.
118
And Jim thought about it,
119
and they acknowledged that she was probably right.
120
He said, I decided to chuck it all.
121
It didn't seem to be the sort of thing that a grown man works at for a living.
122
Not long after that, he made his way to Europe,
123
where puppetry was celebrated as serious art.
124
He was suddenly surrounded by people who loved puppets,
125
and it completely reframed what was possible for him.
126
He said, I came back from that trip all fired up to do wonderful puppetry.
127
And that's exactly what he did.
128
He revolutionized puppetry, breathing life into characters that I grew up with,
129
like Kermit the Frog, Big Bird,
130
Miss Piggy, and Cookie Monster.
131
The lesson here is that the people you're surrounded by influence you more than you realize.
132
If you're spending most of your time around people who are constantly complaining,
133
downplaying your ideas or focusing on limitations,
134
it doesn't matter how inspired you are.
135
You will start shrinking to fit.
136
And the same applies if you're around people who swear a lot or curse a lot.
137
You will start to swear and curse more too.
138
It's called linguistic convergence.
139
But if you're regularly exposed to people who are building,
140
dreaming, experimenting, speaking with optimism,
141
and taking their goals seriously,
142
something inside you will start to rise to meet them.
143
Behaviors are contagious.
144
It's one of the reasons why mentorship groups are so powerful and why people love being in communities with like-minded others,
145
whether it's in business, in sports, in keychain making.
146
So ask yourself, who are you around the most?
147
And who are you becoming through proximity?
148
If you don't currently have someone in your life who's creating the kind of future that you want,
149
Go and find someone online.
150
I'm serious.
151
You don't have to know them personally.
152
Follow their work, study how they think,
153
watch what they prioritize, because that influence still counts.
154
Now I do want to give you one gentle warning here.
155
When you're around people who are further ahead,
156
whether in business, relationships, finance,
157
confidence, it's easy to let comparison creep in.
158
And when it does, it can quietly erode your confidence.
159
You start thinking, look at how far ahead they are,
160
and then before you realize it,
161
you're in a spiral of,
162
I am so behind, I can never catch up.
163
But what if you reframed it?
164
Instead of, look at how far ahead they are,
165
I must be failing, try,
166
look at how far ahead they are,
167
what can I learn from them to apply to my own journey?
168
That simple shift from comparison to curiosity and then emulation is everything.
169
Because one leads to self-doubt and the other one leads to growth.
170
So yes, get around people who are doing big things,
171
but don't fixate on the gap between where you are and where they are and then feel inadequate.
172
Let it inspire you, not shrink you.
173
And now we move to shift number three,
174
treat your attention like a sacred resource.
175
Because it is.
176
Every time you give your attention to something low value,
177
like endless scrolling, passive comparison,
178
gossip or complaining, you're training your brain to focus on distraction,
179
on negativity, on things that waste your time,
180
and that has real consequences.
181
In psychology, attention is considered one of our most limited cognitive resources.
182
It determines what you notice and then shapes what you believe.
183
Through mechanisms like selective attention,
184
your brain filters the world based on what it already thinks is relevant.
185
And then through confirmation bias,
186
it will look for evidence to support those existing beliefs,
187
even if those beliefs are keeping you stuck.
188
One of our students, we'll call him Jay,
189
he shared that he used to feel constantly overwhelmed and behind,
190
even though he was always busy.
191
But when we started tracking his attention,
192
we all realized he was spending most of his time absorbing motivational content,
193
input, but hardly doing anything with it,
194
so no real output, and then numbing himself with social media in the name of rest,
195
which was unhelpful recovery.
196
Once he rebalanced those buckets,
197
so less passive learning, more small acts of creation,
198
and then better quality downtime,
199
he felt clearer, calmer, and far more in control within a few weeks.
200
And then that came from really just being honest with himself about where his attention was going,
201
and then doing something about it.
202
So here's the practice that Jay used,
203
we share this with our students,
204
and it's to think of your time and energy in three buckets,
205
and to do a short audit each week.
206
So bucket one is your input.
207
What are you learning or absorbing?
208
Is it helping you grow or are you simply consuming?
209
Bucket two is output.
210
What are you creating or putting out into the world?
211
What are you actually contributing?
212
Are you doing anything with that input?
213
And then bucket three, recovery.
214
What genuinely restores your energy?
215
What is actually building you up internally rather than just numbing you or distracting you?
216
Because often it's not that you need more time it's
217
that your attention is scattered across things that don't align with the life
218
that you say you want attention is the gatekeeper of your future
219
and how you spend it today will shape who you become
220
tomorrow now something that's going to help you spend your time on things
221
that are better for you comes up in shift number four design for friction
222
and for flow what i see most people doing is they try to force their way into change with motivation
223
And I understand why.
224
Motivation feels fantastic.
225
It's that rush of inspiration you get after watching a TED talk or finishing a great book.
226
You feel like, yes, I'm doing it this time.
227
But here's the problem.
228
Motivation is completely unreliable.
229
It's a state, not a strategy.
230
It comes and goes based on your mood,
231
your sleep, your hormones, even what you had for lunch.
232
That's why the people who stick to their habits
233
and create the life they truly desire for themselves aren't always the most motivated.
234
They're usually the ones who have designed their environment to make good choices easier and then bad ones harder.
235
and it's because they understand principles of behavioral science and what really changes behavior.
236
For example, let's say you've developed a bad habit of doom scrolling for hours after work.
237
If you want to change the behavior,
238
don't rely on willpower alone.
239
Just remove the most tempting apps from your home screen
240
or delete them altogether and keep your phone in a drawer or somewhere that you're not tempted to grab it.
241
That's called creating friction.
242
You're making the a thing that you don't want to do,
243
just a little bit harder to do.
244
I once heard someone who had a shopping addiction and she filled up a container with water,
245
dropped her credit card inside and then stuck it in the freezer.
246
She also made sure that she deleted her saved credit card details from her devices.
247
So this meant that the next time she wanted to make an impulsive purchase on Timu,
248
she had to pull the block of ice out of the freezer,
249
wait for it to defrost before she could access the card
250
and then by that time the urge to purchase had passed and she ended up curbing the habit.
251
If you want to journal more before bed,
252
keep a notebook on your pillow.
253
Make it hard to miss.
254
That's reducing friction.
255
You're making the habit easy to see and impossible to ignore.
256
If you want to write more,
257
keep a blank Google Doc open on your browser so it's the first thing you see in the morning.
258
That visual cue does so much more than you think.
259
One of our students used to complain about not having time to plan her week.
260
Then we looked at her setup.
261
Her calendar was empty, she had no set times blocked,
262
she had no visible prompts.
263
Once she moved her calendar to her home screen and started putting things in it,
264
and she made weekly planning the title of her Sunday 5pm alarm,
265
she then didn't even have to think about it.
266
She just did it.
267
No motivation required.
268
She simplified her environment to make it work for her.
269
It sounds so incredibly basic, and that's the point.
270
So the question I want you to ask yourself is,
271
what is one behavior I want more of?
272
And how can I make it so easy that it takes less than 60 seconds to start?
273
Because at the end of the day,
274
your environment is always working on you.
275
So you want to design it with intention.
276
Now, there are so many other shifts that I could share with you.
277
But if you can start with applying what we've covered in these four principles,
278
you will be well on your way to creating the life that you want.
279
Of course, you need to know what that life is.
280
So we're assuming that you've taken the time to determine what's important to you and why.

288
Thanks for being here and I'll see you again soon.
289
Self-doubt doesn't shout.
290
It whispers and it keeps smart people playing small.
291
You can't positive think your way past it,
292
you have to rewire it.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
