I will explore the incredible power of neuroscience and explore how understanding the inner workings of our brains can help us unleash specific neurochemicals that impact our beliefs, emotions, and focus.

In this episode, I share the valuable lessons I've learned from various mentors and influential figures in my life. These mentors have played a significant role in shaping my mindset and approach to personal and professional growth. 

The role of a mentor

A mentor is someone who helps others become more effective in life through instruction, training, teaching, and coaching.

Life Lessons

• Flirt with yourself

• Do as many different things, in as many different places, with as many different people as you can

• The past doesn't define a person

• The best way to predict the future is to create it.

• Changing the way you remember the past can lead to a better experience and lessen its negative impact.

• Real problems require real solutions, while imaginary problems require imaginary solutions

• Your state is so important 

• Trust your own opinions 

• Recognize the power of belief and love

In this episode, Owen explores what he calls ‘brain prompting’ which is about communicating with your brain like you do with Chat GPT or AI.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field with many practical applications.

One popular use of AI is chatbots, such as GPT and Chat GPT, which can hold conversations and answer questions. Chat GPT has access to a massive database of information from the internet and can create content, improve existing content, and adjust its style or tone.

Brain prompting is a strategy for prompting your brain to work more effectively, similar to how we prompt AI. 

Brain prompting draws from various fields such as neuroscience, psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, and cognitive behavioral therapy to offer us a way to influence ourselves better. It involves asking questions, making requests, and specifying what you want from your brain.

Asking Questions:

There are six different functions of questioning ourselves: 

1. Hunt for answers and gather information.

2. Create emotions and influence how we feel.

3. Build Curiosity 

4. Challenge our beliefs and help us to choose more empowering beliefs.

5. Clarify information.

6. Dictate focus and help us to prioritize what is important.

Requests:

Skillfully framing requests can help you get better results from your brain.

There are two strategies to communicate with your brain effectively: 

1. "I want you to X" 

2.  "Act as if you were X."

When you give your brain clear and definite instructions of what you want to achieve, it can often help the brain to achieve it.

Specificity:

Specificity can be applied to brain prompting by being clear and granular about what you want the brain to do. When you communicate with others, consider:

The specific target audience

The specific information you have about them

The specific action you want them to do

The specific tone or style, or format you need to communicate with them in
