ONE With Hunter Powers

There's a lot of frustration over technology - laws, giant corporations, access to data, and a future devoid of freedom as technology driven by legislation takes over.

I have a different take. My thesis is everything happening is for the good. It pushes us to innovate. We will innovate and the technology will set us free. John said the TRUTH will set us free. Technology is the application of knowledge, the application of TRUTH, and the TECHNOLOGY will set us free. Listen now to learn more.

When a magician is involved there is no choice, and if there is a choice, it doesn't matter. In today's episode we'll take a look at how magicians give you the sensation of free will while controlling your every move and guarantee, by way of a "force", the decisions you make.

How important is free will? If you knew everything was already decided, would you still value the sensation? Are there times where you want to guide a decision? If these questions are interesting to you (and that may be a force), listen to today's episode, Magician's Choice.

Is it possible to accomplish 80% of the results with only 20% of the effort. When you think about how you spend your time, or how your business spends it time, does it seem that around 80% of your results can be tied with 20% of your efforts? What would happen if you spent 100% of your time focused on the 20% that produces the most? How do some people seems to succeed at such astronomically higher levels than everyone else? Vilfredo Pareto believed he figured it out in 1897 and I'll do my best to share those ideas with you now

“You can't think without risk” ~ Jordan Peterson

Is there risk inherent in thought? Are you a risky person or do you prefer to identify as risk adverse? If you were a master of risk are there things you would approach differently? There are strategies to maximize returns given risk, can those same strategies be applied to thought? Is it true that "You can't think without risk"?

“You can't fail privately” ~ Ben Afflek

What does it take to get to the next level? How can you make sure you're setting your goals at the right level and more specifically not too small? You've probably heard the saying, no pain no gain, but how do you leverage this to find the right amount of risk for a goal? How can you break out your comfort zone? You do it by leveraging the statement, "You can't fail privately".

“Everything starts small” ~Steve Aoki

That which you are working towards is likely large, but everything you see in front of you was once small. And each step through the journey from small to large has to be meaningful or you won't make it to the next step. Steve Aoki started out playing gigs for 5 people and had to make it meaningful for them before he could sell out festivals and make it meaningful for millions.

“All things are difficult before they are easy” -Thomas Fuller

Are all things difficult before they are easy? If this is true, what are the strategies we can deploy to accomplish more? Are some things inherently easy? Is easy the goal? Would the world be a better place if everything was easy? What in your life is difficult today that you would want to be easy? How can you transform that which is difficult to easy?

Where do you look when you're trying to generate value? How do you manifest value? Can you manifest value on demand, or is there a struggle? Is there a fixed limit that you can't break through? In this episode we examine the beginnings of a simplified strategy to manifest value through the application of what you already know to new areas AKA generalization.
