Episode Title: The Grand Finale First – Working Backwards to Success
Series: Think Like a Magician (Part 1 of 4)
Tagline: Unplug. Unwind. Realign.

Episode Summary

When a magician creates a trick, the process doesn’t begin with the cards, coins, or props. It begins with the ending. Magicians decide the grand finale first—the moment of awe, laughter, or wonder they want the audience to feel—and then carefully work backwards to make it happen.

What if we lived our lives the same way?

In this first episode of the Think Like a Magician series, Keith invites you behind the curtain to explore how the magician’s mindset can help you reverse-engineer your goals, clarify your vision, and start making choices that align with the outcome you truly want.

Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or shaping your personal life, this principle is a powerful shift: the ending isn’t left to chance—it’s intentionally designed.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• 🎩 How magicians always begin with the outcome in mind.
