Not Gonna Do It https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May25_Post.mp4 In many studies, people find public speaking more terrifying than death. This seems kind of crazy, but it kind of makes sense. When you are standing up in front of a group of people, it feels very dangerous. You tend to feel very exposed. As if, […]
Subconscious Love Energy
Specific vs. Meta https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May24_Post.mp4 There are very specific skills you can learn. And there are very meta skills you can learn. Specific skills are things like a specific martial art, or a specific kind of software. Meta skills are things like mathematics, logical thinking, how to cook, general mechanical skills. Meta […]
What Is Your Purpose?
Eyes Of The Holder https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May17_Post.mp4 I remember one interesting idea from way back in college. I took a creative writing class. And one of the things the professor said has stuck with me ever since. He said that once we “release” any piece of writing, it no longer belongs to us. […]
Create A Virtuous Social Cycle
Reverse Cycles https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May15_Post.mp4 There’s a theory in both history and economics of virtuous and vicious cycles. That, generally speaking, when everything is growing, there are plenty of virtuous cycles. And when any society, business cycle, or economy reaches a kind of “tipping point” the virtuous cycles slowly shift into vicious cycles. For […]
Rid Yourself of Anger
Recalibrated Instincts https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May14_Post.mp4 Imagine two hunters. Two imaginary hunters way back in the days of hunter gathers. Where humans lived for 200,000 years. Where all our modern instincts were calibrated. Anyhow, here’s the mental experiment. Both guys throw their spears at a deer. Both miss. One guy reflects […]
Leverage Your Two Powerful Biases
Inside vs. Outside https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May13_Post.mp4 Human nature is pretty simple from an engineering standpoint. Very simple.

Be A Highly Demanded Human
Descriptive Nature https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May11_Post.mp4 I’ve always been interested in how things work. As far back as I can remember, I would take things apart, as much as I could, just to see what was going on. As an adult, during the golden age of information, there are plenty of online educational resources for learning. […]
Open Loop Origin Stories
Powerful Communication https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May08_Post.mp4 Open loops are a very powerful “tool.” I put tool in quotes because open loops happen all the time. Only when you understand them, and learn how to leverage them do they become a powerful tool. For example, when I was a kid, we didn’t have the Internet. […]
The Cookie Experiment Paradigm
Vanishing Cookies https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr30_Post.mp4 Once upon a time, a researcher did an experiment. The setup for the experiment was very simple. The researcher, a table, and a jar of cookies. The researcher would ask people if they wanted to participate. All they had to do was eat a cookie, and fill out […]
The Implied One Time Offer
Shrinking Chance https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr29_Post.mp4 The most commonly used “triggers” of influence is scarcity. Even when it’s blatantly fake. Like you’ve no doubt seen signs in some windows that say: Sale! Today Only! A sign that is there EVERY day. Long time ago I worked at a pizza place. They would […]
