In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam reveals how your brain filters the world through a narrow lens shaped by subconscious programming, past experiences, and limiting beliefs. Most people live within these invisible boundaries, never realizing that their so-called “reality” is completely malleable. But once you understand the mechanics of your perception, you can consciously shift your mindset, unlock abundance, and begin designing a life that reflects your true potential.

William breaks down the “design and resolve” method: a transformational process for reprogramming your internal filters. You’ll learn how to clearly define what you want across health, relationships, and purpose, and how to resolve the emotional resistance and feelings of unworthiness that block you from alignment. From activating your Reticular Activation System (RAS) to recognizing emotions as signals for growth, this episode gives you practical tools to move beyond scarcity thinking and build a life of intentional, holistic abundance.

In this episode, discover how to reprogram your identity, unlock subconscious power, and set goals that actually change your life.

We all carry invisible limits, stories we’ve accepted about who we are, what we can do, and what’s “realistic.” But what if your current identity isn’t the truth… just a program you can rewrite?

In this powerful episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam explores the deeper mechanics of identity and how it shapes everything from your ambitions to your ability to follow through. He reveals the untapped leverage hidden within both external resources like time, money, and mentorship, and your internal operating system: the subconscious mind. With clarity and grounded wisdom, William explains how most people set goals that align with who they already are, rather than who they’re becoming, and how that subtle mistake keeps them stuck.

Drawing from spiritual insight and performance psychology, William offers a step-by-step approach to upgrading your identity through visualization, physical anchoring, and the power of impossible goals. You’ll walk away with actionable tools to install new traits, create your future self, and unlock the kind of success that feels aligned with your deepest truth.

Whether you’re a high achiever who still feels like something’s missing, or you’re just waking up to the idea that life could be more than what you've been told, it’s time to explore what’s possible when your identity becomes your greatest asset.

In this renewal of the origin story, William returns to Hong Kong, where his journey began, to film the first episode of Brokers of Secrets in 2025. This episode isn’t just a retelling—it’s a profound dive into the foundations of UPGRD® and the map it provides to navigate the non-physical world.

William reveals one of the greatest secrets of the human mind: there’s a map for the unseen, the intangible, and the infinite. Most of us struggle in this reality because we’re navigating without it. We underestimate our power—not because it isn’t there, but because we’ve never been taught how to access it.

Through his personal stories and pivotal life events, William takes you on a journey of awakening, showing how moments of clarity, adversity, and discovery unlocked a deeper understanding of what’s possible.

This is more than an introduction to UPGRD® ; it’s an invitation to look beyond what you know, question what you believe, and start uncovering the hidden potential within yourself.

Prepare to see your life—and your reality—in a way you never have before. Welcome to Brokers of Secrets. Let’s begin.
