Optimizing what you can control can protect you from what you can’t. Your life is a series of interconnected systems that connect with other larger systems, which connect with even larger global systems. The farther away from you these systems are, the less ability you have to control them. However, by optimizing the systems you have the most control over, you can lessen the effect of those larger, uncontrollable systems on your life.  Rob breaks these systems down into 3 orders: First Order systems are those you have complete control over – your habits, your spending, your diet, etc. Second Order systems you have some control over, such as your job. Third Order systems are so big, you have zero control over them, like the weather or the global economy. In this episode, Rob explains how the mastery your First Order systems will ultimately determine the quality of your life. Learn more about this episode.

You have the power to manifest anything you want in this life. In this very special episode, Rob explores the art of manifestation through clarity, and explains how you can practice it in just 5 steps. The clearer your vision of your desired future, the more likely you are to manifest it through your actions. Manifestation isn't just wishing and hoping for an outcome you want to come true — it's a skill developed over time. You must create a vivid mental image of your desired future, immerse yourself in it, and trick your mind and body into believing it's real. Rob, a living testament to manifestation, emphasizes that it's about feeling, sensing, and deeply believing in its inevitability. It's when your mind and body cannot tell the difference between that which you imagine in great detail and that which is actually happening. So, the more you practice detailed manifestation over and over, while taking action to achieve them, the universe will begin to listen.
