What if I told you that your mind is nothing more than a high-powered, fully programmable supercomputer? And better yet—you’re the programmer! ๐Ÿš€

In this episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, host Sean takes you deep into The You:OS (Your Ultimate Operating System)—a methodical way to rewrite the subconscious programming that’s been limiting you since you were young. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or like you’re running outdated software, this episode will show you how to wipe the slate clean and upgrade to the most optimized, high-performance version of YOU. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿ”‘ What You’ll Learn Today:

โœ… The hidden strings controlling your thoughts and how to cut them
โœ… How to identify and delete the "viruses" (limiting beliefs) slowing you down
โœ… The psychological illusion of free will—and how to finally take control
โœ… Why Version 1.5 of YOU is going to be messy—and why that’s a good thing
โœ… The step-by-step process to coding your mindset for success, wealth, and fulfillment
โœ… How elite-level performers constantly upgrade their mental software in real time

๐Ÿšจ Warning: This episode might make you uncomfortable—because we’re diving into the dark truth about how our minds have been programmed by society, family, and experiences we never consciously chose. But once you see the strings, you NEVER see the world the same again.

๐Ÿ’ก The Most Powerful Takeaway?
The moment you accept that your thoughts, habits, and beliefs are nothing more than installed programs, you IMMEDIATELY gain the ability to rewrite them at will. You don’t have to stay stuck. You don’t have to live in an outdated system. You can become anything.

00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,171
Welcome back to the Thinking Big podcast.

2
00:00:06,171 --> 00:00:08,092
I'm your host, Sean Osborne.

3
00:00:08,092 --> 00:00:18,926
And if there's one thing you should know about me by now, it's that I am an unstoppable
believer in human potential and that the real magic begins once you decide you are in

4
00:00:18,926 --> 00:00:21,097
complete control of your inner world.

5
00:00:21,097 --> 00:00:24,069
So today we are diving into a topic I love to riff on.

6
00:00:24,069 --> 00:00:25,699
I can go all day long.

7
00:00:25,699 --> 00:00:32,212
Sometimes I call it the computer mindset and this idea can be absolutely life-changing for
you.

8
00:00:32,589 --> 00:00:39,201
And I want you to imagine this for just a moment that you are more than just a person made
of flesh and blood.

9
00:00:39,201 --> 00:00:50,464
You are a living computer, a dynamic, complex, brilliantly designed system of systems,
continuously interacting and upgrading to create what we call life.

10
00:00:50,464 --> 00:00:51,584
And guess what?

11
00:00:51,584 --> 00:01:00,227
You are the programmer of this system and you can reprogram your inner computer anytime
you want in any way that you desire.

12
00:01:00,308 --> 00:01:02,449
How is that for empowerment?

13
00:01:02,469 --> 00:01:03,809
But here's the catch.

14
00:01:03,809 --> 00:01:08,141
You must learn to operate this infinite system that you've been gifted with.

15
00:01:08,141 --> 00:01:12,093
know, nobody can't use, hands you an operating manual of birth, right?

16
00:01:12,093 --> 00:01:17,015
You have to roll up your sleeves and figure out how to code your life from the inside out.

17
00:01:17,015 --> 00:01:19,916
That's exactly what we're talking about today.

18
00:01:19,916 --> 00:01:28,979
Owning your internal operating system, what I call the UOS, so you can finally live in
that high performance, high fulfillment state you've been dreaming of.

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,110
Again, I'm Sean.

20
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:35,386
I'm your host, your personal test dummy for all things self-development, mindset, and
success.

21
00:01:35,386 --> 00:01:43,484
And over the years, I have built successful businesses, worked with incredible mentors,
and guided countless people towards massive transformation.

22
00:01:43,484 --> 00:01:44,316
And my role

23
00:01:44,316 --> 00:01:50,760
is to share this with you so you can see how to upgrade that supercomputer of yours with
greater ease.

24
00:01:50,761 --> 00:01:54,844
And if there's one concept I want you to latch onto today, it's this.

25
00:01:54,844 --> 00:01:57,846
You get to decide how you operate.

26
00:01:57,846 --> 00:01:58,927
This is a new new thing.

27
00:01:58,927 --> 00:02:00,013
You get to decide.

28
00:02:00,013 --> 00:02:10,319
Just like installing a fresh new software update on your phone, you can constantly upgrade
your beliefs, your routines, your habits so that you, yes, you can become the next best

29
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:11,829
version of yourself.

30
00:02:11,829 --> 00:02:14,031
And we're not talking about fluff here.

31
00:02:14,031 --> 00:02:23,875
We're talking about the real tangible step-by-step approach to leveling up your
self-awareness, your daily processes, and ultimately your entire life.

32
00:02:23,976 --> 00:02:26,097
So let's dig deeper.

33
00:02:26,097 --> 00:02:28,358
How do you operate this living computer?

34
00:02:28,358 --> 00:02:30,229
How do you become it?

35
00:02:30,401 --> 00:02:36,944
And how did these various parts mesh into what we call a harmonious, high quality
existence of life?

36
00:02:36,944 --> 00:02:38,858
because that's what it's all about.

37
00:02:38,858 --> 00:02:45,751
Waking up each day excited, energized, and ready to see the best in ourselves and in life.

38
00:02:45,893 --> 00:02:52,092
And I've been really reflecting on how over time my personal computer has grown larger and
more intricate.

39
00:02:52,092 --> 00:02:52,477
You

40
00:02:52,477 --> 00:02:54,578
It's a bunch of sophisticated programs.

41
00:02:54,578 --> 00:03:00,031
You know, my mindset program, my health program, my relationships program, my financial
programs,

42
00:03:00,031 --> 00:03:04,944
all of which operate under this integrated philosophy, what I call the UOS.

43
00:03:05,105 --> 00:03:12,931
And for me, discovering how to seamlessly run all of these parts and program all these
different parts was like striking gold.

44
00:03:12,931 --> 00:03:22,297
It felt like I cracked the code on how to scale up my well-being and my success
simultaneously without burning out or losing sight of what's most important.

45
00:03:22,297 --> 00:03:24,058
And here's what I'm driving at.

46
00:03:24,218 --> 00:03:27,859
You do not want a life that is just about outcomes.

47
00:03:27,859 --> 00:03:32,831
You want a life that is about growth, a continuous progression towards something even
better.

48
00:03:32,831 --> 00:03:36,542
That's what makes us happy is the progression of getting where we want to go.

49
00:03:36,542 --> 00:03:45,405
When you zoom out and you see yourself as a series of evolving programs, you give yourself
permission to keep upgrading each one of those programs.

50
00:03:45,405 --> 00:03:48,286
Remember, you don't choose your original programming.

51
00:03:48,286 --> 00:03:49,567
You didn't do it.

52
00:03:49,567 --> 00:03:55,371
You were born into a specific environment raised by the beliefs and the perspectives of
your family.

53
00:03:55,371 --> 00:03:59,654
You might've heard of that quote, you we are all tattooed in the cradle by the beliefs of
our tribe.

54
00:03:59,654 --> 00:04:00,735
That is true.

55
00:04:00,735 --> 00:04:08,060
We're influenced by our early teachers, our peers, and shaped by our experiences that have
washed over us without our permission.

56
00:04:08,294 --> 00:04:13,037
by the time you realize it, there is all the stuff, these programs in your head.

57
00:04:13,113 --> 00:04:21,862
limiting beliefs about what you can or can't do, misguided notions of success or twisted
ideas about what happiness truly means.

58
00:04:22,224 --> 00:04:29,643
But now it's time to look under the hood of this computer and say, hey, crappy programs,
thank you for getting me here so far, but you know what?

59
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:31,495
It's time to upgrade yourself.

60
00:04:31,677 --> 00:04:40,982
Some of us got stuck with software that's about as useful as a glitchy dial-up connection,
while others had a more nurturing environment like high-speed fiber optics to the

61
00:04:40,982 --> 00:04:41,542
internet, right?

62
00:04:41,542 --> 00:04:45,915
You know, some of you might have won the environmental and the family lottery, while
others didn't.

63
00:04:45,915 --> 00:04:51,678
But either way, we all have the power to do a total system override.

64
00:04:51,678 --> 00:04:59,582
Rewriting our beliefs, designing new programs for our operating system, and stepping into
the next level, the next version of ourselves.

65
00:04:59,802 --> 00:05:01,727
Now let's say you decide, okay, yeah.

66
00:05:01,727 --> 00:05:03,007
I'm in, I'm going to do it.

67
00:05:03,007 --> 00:05:04,627
Sean, I'm really going to reprogram.

68
00:05:04,627 --> 00:05:05,967
Well, congratulations.

69
00:05:05,967 --> 00:05:09,827
You've just graduated to version 1.5 of you, right?

70
00:05:09,827 --> 00:05:11,267
And here's the thing.

71
00:05:11,267 --> 00:05:14,147
Version 1.5, it's going to be shaky.

72
00:05:14,367 --> 00:05:16,247
It's like an early prototype.

73
00:05:16,247 --> 00:05:17,627
There's going to be bugs.

74
00:05:17,627 --> 00:05:19,047
You might second guess yourself.

75
00:05:19,047 --> 00:05:24,827
You might wonder, you know, if you're even capable of it, can you even write new programs
for yourself?

76
00:05:24,827 --> 00:05:26,147
But you know what?

77
00:05:26,147 --> 00:05:28,627
That is just part of the process.

78
00:05:28,807 --> 00:05:31,967
Everyone's version 1.5 is crap.

79
00:05:31,967 --> 00:05:33,727
but it's also packed with potential.

80
00:05:33,727 --> 00:05:41,727
And the moment you truly acknowledge that you can keep evolving, you realize, oh, the real
gold is in the updates.

81
00:05:41,727 --> 00:05:52,660
Because yes, you can get to version 2.0, version 5.0, 10.0, 100.0, whatever it takes until
you're operating at a level that you once thought absolutely impossible.

82
00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:56,693
This ongoing methodical improvement touches every aspect of your life.

83
00:05:58,179 --> 00:06:02,142
you cultivate your health and handle your finances.

84
00:06:02,202 --> 00:06:05,325
Each new layer of knowledge leads to new upgrades.

85
00:06:05,325 --> 00:06:10,348
Each new upgrade creates a faster, more efficient, more fulfilled you.

86
00:06:10,997 --> 00:06:12,578
What does that look like in practical terms?

87
00:06:12,578 --> 00:06:17,891
You know, it's not just meditating or journaling once a week and hoping your life is going
to change.

88
00:06:17,891 --> 00:06:23,594
It's taking a 360 degree view of your life and asking, how do I manage my time?

89
00:06:23,594 --> 00:06:26,427
So I'm not constantly drained and overwhelmed.

90
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:29,097
You know, how do I build a strong financial future?

91
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:37,261
Even if I've made money mistakes in the past, you know, what kind of habits do I need to
cultivate to stay healthy, energetic, and joyful?

92
00:06:37,421 --> 00:06:40,723
Which relationships fuel me and which ones drain me?

93
00:06:40,897 --> 00:06:46,988
So I can make the conscious choice about who I led into my life, who I led into my world
and who I hang out with.

94
00:06:46,988 --> 00:06:55,678
It's all about intentionally writing all these programs we operate with our health, our
relationships, our careers, our finances, our spirituality, whatever, our personal growth

95
00:06:55,678 --> 00:06:59,675
to integrate with one another in a way that feels effortless and supportive.

96
00:06:59,818 --> 00:07:05,562
And if you know my story, you know that time freedom has become one of my most prized
possessions.

97
00:07:05,562 --> 00:07:09,005
Life has taught me the hard way to cherish every single minute.

98
00:07:09,005 --> 00:07:16,532
For years, I've been perfecting how to schedule, where I pour my energy into and what to
say yes to, and more importantly, what to say no to.

99
00:07:16,532 --> 00:07:17,853
And guess what?

100
00:07:17,934 --> 00:07:18,175
The

101
00:07:18,175 --> 00:07:24,561
more I tune into my own personal operating system, the more harmony I discover in every
corner of my life.

102
00:07:24,561 --> 00:07:33,166
Now, one of the biggest mistakes that I see is that we fixate on just one big outcome,
like an intense career goal or a random financial target.

103
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:35,288
Like, you know, I'm going to make a million dollars this year.

104
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:35,828
Wow.

105
00:07:35,828 --> 00:07:39,210
Completely neglecting other essential parts of our lives.

106
00:07:39,210 --> 00:07:46,148
That's like putting all of your RAM into running one single application while the rest of
your computer crashes left and right.

107
00:07:46,148 --> 00:07:47,837
It just burns, crashes and burns.

108
00:07:47,837 --> 00:07:56,465
eventually you might achieve your goal, but you find yourself exhausted, out of balance
and in your relationships or even worse, your health are in disarray.

109
00:07:56,487 --> 00:08:02,254
I've been there, you early in my entrepreneurial days, I lived by the grind at all costs
mentality.

110
00:08:02,254 --> 00:08:06,178
And when it paid off financially, I was thrilled for about a minute.

111
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,801
Then reality kicked in.

112
00:08:07,801 --> 00:08:14,388
realized that skipping out on real connections and neglecting my wellbeing was not worth
the price.

113
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:20,324
That's why I learned and now champion the idea of designing success through harmony.

114
00:08:20,324 --> 00:08:21,944
You don't just chase one goal.

115
00:08:21,944 --> 00:08:31,647
You evolve every part of your life so that by the time that you do reach the top of the
mountain, you're still excited and invigorated enough to spot the next one.

116
00:08:31,727 --> 00:08:41,780
And let me tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than watching yourself evolve this
holistic balanced way where you're hitting milestones in your work, feeling strong in your

117
00:08:41,780 --> 00:08:44,811
body and nurturing beautiful relationships.

118
00:08:44,811 --> 00:08:50,552
It's like the difference between driving a car on three wheels and cruising on all four
brand new tires.

119
00:08:50,714 --> 00:08:52,058
Just feels a lot smoother.

120
00:08:52,058 --> 00:08:54,954
Life is a lot smoother on four wheels, let me tell you.

121
00:08:55,290 --> 00:08:58,315
And while we're at it, let me reiterate something very critical.

122
00:08:58,315 --> 00:09:00,657
That is a skillset.

123
00:09:00,745 --> 00:09:04,068
Reprogramming yourself is not something that you master overnight.

124
00:09:04,068 --> 00:09:13,234
It's about repeated refinements, releasing old beliefs and adopting new ones, testing new
routines and optimizing them until they fit naturally into your life.

125
00:09:13,294 --> 00:09:20,499
But if you commit to it, you will soon reach a point where you're upgrading your operating
system on the fly, real time.

126
00:09:20,843 --> 00:09:27,547
You know, anytime you notice friction or find yourself drained, you immediately ask, is
there a glitch in a program?

127
00:09:27,547 --> 00:09:28,988
And how do I rewrite that code?

128
00:09:28,988 --> 00:09:31,549
How do I install a new program where it's not?

129
00:09:31,569 --> 00:09:39,513
You become the proactive creator, know, constantly refining and improving and staying
aligned with your core values and your desires.

130
00:09:39,674 --> 00:09:46,117
Think back how exciting it was the first time that you upgraded your phone from say, a
flip phone to a smartphone.

131
00:09:46,117 --> 00:09:48,858
And by the way, my dad just did that like last year.

132
00:09:49,271 --> 00:09:49,831
Insane.

133
00:09:49,831 --> 00:09:51,651
can't believe he was still on a flip phone.

134
00:09:51,651 --> 00:09:55,171
Anyways, or any other old phone to a new version.

135
00:09:55,171 --> 00:09:59,911
You remember how it felt like you've stepped into a whole new world of possibilities.

136
00:09:59,991 --> 00:10:06,331
Now imagine feeling that way about yourself, your mindset, your confidence, your entire
life setup.

137
00:10:06,531 --> 00:10:13,311
That's what's happening when you step into the role of a visionary designer of your own
operating system, of your own life.

138
00:10:13,311 --> 00:10:17,191
You're no longer a passenger, you know, hoping for better circumstances.

139
00:10:17,191 --> 00:10:18,379
You're the pilot.

140
00:10:18,379 --> 00:10:22,562
deciding exactly where you want to go, charting the route

141
00:10:22,562 --> 00:10:26,624
and pressing the thrusters whenever you are ready to level up.

142
00:10:26,704 --> 00:10:29,585
That to me is the ultimate rush.

143
00:10:29,645 --> 00:10:39,970
You know, I often say fall in love with the thrill of surprising yourself every single
day, because let's be honest, nothing beats the surge of excitement that comes from

144
00:10:39,970 --> 00:10:44,842
realizing, wow, I can actually do more than I ever thought possible.

145
00:10:44,842 --> 00:10:46,934
That is such a rush.

146
00:10:46,934 --> 00:10:50,417
Suddenly you're sub generating your own motivation and excitement.

147
00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:55,620
You don't need external validation or someone else to hand you a gold star.

148
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,422
Your day to day life becomes your trophy.

149
00:10:58,571 --> 00:11:01,385
That's the beauty of living as an evolving computer.

150
00:11:01,385 --> 00:11:08,854
The more you upgrade your programs, the more synergy you create in your health, your
wealth, your purpose, your love, your joy.

151
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:17,265
Outcomes become less of a must-have or do-or-die scenario and more like a natural mile
marker on a never-ending road of expansion.

152
00:11:17,605 --> 00:11:27,579
I've seen this play out in my own life from the kid who once had nowhere to call home to
building businesses and forging relationships with brilliant minds to standing here

153
00:11:27,579 --> 00:11:29,419
talking with you today.

154
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,301
Every upgrade along the way has reinforced the truth.

155
00:11:32,301 --> 00:11:37,322
Harmony plus unstoppable evolution equals extraordinary life.

156
00:11:37,625 --> 00:11:39,977
But it's not just about big external achievements.

157
00:11:39,977 --> 00:11:42,178
It's about the inner transformation.

158
00:11:42,178 --> 00:11:50,729
Every time you rewrite your beliefs and habits, you're telling your subconscious mind, I
am capable of change, growth, and endless possibilities.

159
00:11:50,729 --> 00:11:53,804
That unstoppable force inside you is just waiting to be unleashed.

160
00:11:53,804 --> 00:12:02,949
You can see it in the mirror, hear it in your thoughts and feel it in the start of every
day with a sense of purpose burning in your gut and burning in your soul.

161
00:12:02,949 --> 00:12:04,180
And guess what?

162
00:12:04,182 --> 00:12:12,025
When that internal programming starts to shift, the world outside you will rearrange
itself to match your upgraded programs.

163
00:12:12,025 --> 00:12:16,527
The right people, resources, opportunities will start to align.

164
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:18,678
Doors you didn't see before will burst open.

165
00:12:18,678 --> 00:12:18,989
know,

166
00:12:18,989 --> 00:12:24,956
People will look at you and say, how are you doing all of that and still staying sane and
energized?

167
00:12:24,956 --> 00:12:30,692
And you'll just laugh because what used to be complicated for you is now just become
second nature.

168
00:12:31,094 --> 00:12:35,158
So how do we execute this in a more nuts and bolts way?

169
00:12:35,158 --> 00:12:38,381
Let me give you a quick reprogramming starter kit.

170
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:46,575
Number one, assess your current programs, break your life into buckets, health,
relationships, careers, finance, personal growth, fun.

171
00:12:46,575 --> 00:12:50,056
Ask yourself which systems need the most attention right now?

172
00:12:50,056 --> 00:12:51,416
What do I need to work on today?

173
00:12:51,416 --> 00:12:56,078
Identify what's running smoothly and what's buggy and outdated, right?

174
00:12:56,078 --> 00:12:57,659
What systems need to be upgraded?

175
00:12:57,659 --> 00:13:00,110
Clarify your desires and upgrades.

176
00:13:00,110 --> 00:13:03,081
You know, in each area, set a clear intention.

177
00:13:03,081 --> 00:13:04,892
What's the next milestone?

178
00:13:04,892 --> 00:13:11,447
Maybe it's doubling down on your fitness routine or spending more quality time with your
spouse and your kids.

179
00:13:11,447 --> 00:13:15,589
Maybe it's shifting your money mindset from scarcity to abundance.

180
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:22,748
Design your new programs, you know, for each subsystem, outline new habits, new beliefs,
new processes that you want.

181
00:13:22,748 --> 00:13:33,092
You know, for instance, you might create a morning routine that includes writing down your
goals, doing a short workout or reading for 10 minutes on a topic that inspires you.

182
00:13:33,768 --> 00:13:35,681
Then you need to implement and iterate.

183
00:13:35,681 --> 00:13:36,703
You always iterate.

184
00:13:36,703 --> 00:13:40,850
You know, start taking action immediately, but be prepared to adapt.

185
00:13:40,850 --> 00:13:46,441
If you hit snags, which you will rewrite the program, snag rewrite, snag rewrite.

186
00:13:46,441 --> 00:13:48,422
That's the beauty of growth.

187
00:13:48,422 --> 00:13:50,623
You don't have to wait for the perfect plan.

188
00:13:50,623 --> 00:13:54,364
You just have to be willing to revise, upgrade, and keep going.

189
00:13:54,804 --> 00:13:56,615
Seek mentorship and inspiration.

190
00:13:56,615 --> 00:14:00,986
know, hang around people who operate at a higher frequency than you do.

191
00:14:02,962 --> 00:14:08,697
yourself with mentors or friends who've already mastered certain aspects of their own
lives.

192
00:14:08,858 --> 00:14:16,824
Listen to motivational podcasts, read the best books on personal development or join
communities that elevate you to where you want to be.

193
00:14:16,825 --> 00:14:23,010
With each small win, you are providing to yourself that you can manifest bigger and better
things.

194
00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:24,225
Before you know it,

195
00:14:24,225 --> 00:14:29,499
Version 1.5 transforms into version 2.0, version 3.0, and so on.

196
00:14:29,499 --> 00:14:35,503
Every iteration refining your ability to craft a life genuine and balanced and fulfilled.

197
00:14:35,643 --> 00:14:41,068
And look, I am not pretending that this happens overnight or that I've got everything all
figured out.

198
00:14:41,068 --> 00:14:52,589
And if you were to rewind my journey, you'd see all of the stumbling I did to figure out
the simplest way to manage my time, to keep my energy high, to maintain focus on the goals

199
00:14:52,589 --> 00:14:53,610
that mattered.

200
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:56,532
I had plenty of missteps and frustrations,

201
00:14:56,573 --> 00:15:03,033
But trust me, there is no price too high to pay for gaining mastery over your own life's
operating system.

202
00:15:03,033 --> 00:15:03,985
I want to say that again.

203
00:15:03,985 --> 00:15:09,997
There is no price too high to pay for gaining mastery over your own life's operating
system.

204
00:15:09,997 --> 00:15:17,639
Imagine never having to say one day I'll fix my finances or one day I'll get in shape or
one day I'll chase my dreams.

205
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:20,870
Instead, you wake up and realize you were already doing those.

206
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:22,180
were already in those.

207
00:15:22,180 --> 00:15:24,102
Those changes have already taken action.

208
00:15:24,102 --> 00:15:29,402
version 1.5 might be basic, but it's the launch pad for everything that follows.

209
00:15:29,402 --> 00:15:31,682
You have to go, you have to start at 1.5.

210
00:15:31,682 --> 00:15:33,462
You have to, you got to start there.

211
00:15:33,462 --> 00:15:40,203
And I promise once you adopt this mindset, you'll be amazed at how quickly new dreams
replace your old limitations.

212
00:15:40,203 --> 00:15:48,309
You might start with a desire to pay off all your credit card debt and six months later
find yourself actually brainstorming your first investment property.

213
00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:53,965
You begin by walking 10 minutes a day and end up running a half marathon or even an
Ironman.

214
00:15:53,965 --> 00:15:55,156
That's what I did.

215
00:15:55,156 --> 00:16:00,121
I couldn't walk to my cupboard for cookies and next thing I knew it, I was doing Ironman.

216
00:16:00,121 --> 00:16:07,623
or you decide to read a single chapter every morning and before long you're producing your
own content, sharing your own insights with the world.

217
00:16:07,623 --> 00:16:12,543
This constant evolution is the very thing that creates a sense of wonder.

218
00:16:13,043 --> 00:16:18,023
You walk around saying, wow, I didn't know I could do all of this, but guess what?

219
00:16:18,023 --> 00:16:19,183
You can.

220
00:16:19,283 --> 00:16:23,603
And that's the power of owning your operating system from top to bottom.

221
00:16:23,603 --> 00:16:24,903
You own everything in it.

222
00:16:24,903 --> 00:16:26,323
And let me emphasize this.

223
00:16:26,323 --> 00:16:27,463
Anyone can do it.

224
00:16:27,463 --> 00:16:35,943
If you ever feel disheartened, like maybe you're too old or too young or too deep in debt
or too stuck in a toxic relationship.

225
00:16:35,943 --> 00:16:37,583
This is your wake up call.

226
00:16:37,753 --> 00:16:43,327
I'm living proof that it doesn't matter how rough your starting point is, you can rewrite
your future.

227
00:16:43,327 --> 00:16:54,335
The same systems that made me an aimless kid on the streets can be reprogrammed to make me
a thriving father, mentor, entrepreneur, and host of this very podcast right here.

228
00:16:54,417 --> 00:16:59,189
Now each new version of you is going to come with its own set of challenges.

229
00:16:59,189 --> 00:17:01,030
But that's the beauty of this approach.

230
00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:06,232
Once you know that you can rewrite the programs that you operate, you can stop fearing
errors.

231
00:17:06,232 --> 00:17:11,275
You stop worrying that everything has to be perfect the first time because it doesn't,
it's not going to be.

232
00:17:11,275 --> 00:17:16,682
You feel the momentum, the unstoppable forward drive of being your own programmer.

233
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:22,599
So if you're listening to this right now, maybe there's a program you're running that's
crying out for an update,

234
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:30,208
an outdated career, a draining environment, or a negative self-talk loop that is messing
with your beliefs in yourself.

235
00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:33,345
And the time to handle that glitch is right now, right the second.

236
00:17:33,345 --> 00:17:37,391
Don't let it run in the background for another day, draining your battery.

237
00:17:37,533 --> 00:17:39,524
Bring it to the forefront of your awareness.

238
00:17:39,524 --> 00:17:42,546
Make a plan and start the reprogramming process.

239
00:17:42,546 --> 00:17:53,233
Yes, it might be scary to confront something that you have left on autopilot for years,
but trust me, the minute you start debugging that old program, it's like cleaning

240
00:17:53,233 --> 00:17:55,054
thousands of viruses from your PC.

241
00:17:55,054 --> 00:18:00,056
You're going to be amazed at how much faster and cleaner your life feels.

242
00:18:00,377 --> 00:18:04,293
A big reason I am so passionate about sharing this computer mindset approach.

243
00:18:04,293 --> 00:18:08,208
is that it liberated me from the worst parts of my own programming.

244
00:18:08,208 --> 00:18:10,811
It's why I wrote my book, The UOS.

245
00:18:10,893 --> 00:18:16,528
It's allowed me to unlock a life that to this day shocks me in the very best way.

246
00:18:16,589 --> 00:18:22,114
Waking up with gratitude every day, feeling in control, seeing the doors open where I once
saw walls.

247
00:18:22,315 --> 00:18:23,166
Doors weren't just closed.

248
00:18:23,166 --> 00:18:24,518
They were solid walls.

249
00:18:24,518 --> 00:18:26,379
It's not an accident.

250
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,403
the direct result of designing my entire life with intention.

251
00:18:31,403 --> 00:18:40,407
yes, I still think big and I encourage you to do the same, but I don't chase those dreams
at the expense of my health or my relationships anymore.

252
00:18:40,407 --> 00:18:42,208
I nurture my family bond.

253
00:18:42,208 --> 00:18:44,069
I choose how I spend my time.

254
00:18:44,069 --> 00:18:47,108
I get to be a present father, grandfather.

255
00:18:47,108 --> 00:18:53,261
Friend, mentor, because I built those systems, I built those programs in alignment with my
deepest values.

256
00:18:53,281 --> 00:18:56,623
And the results blow me away every single time.

257
00:18:56,784 --> 00:18:59,585
the more I fine tune, the more momentum I pick up.

258
00:18:59,585 --> 00:19:03,308
The more excited and limitless I know my life becomes.

259
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:11,373
Every new idea, like a new project, a new collaboration or a new hobby fits right into my
system because it's all integrated.

260
00:19:11,373 --> 00:19:13,495
No more hustle and collapse cycles.

261
00:19:13,495 --> 00:19:17,159
No more one dimensional chasing at the cost of everything else.

262
00:19:17,159 --> 00:19:19,660
Just ever evolving synergy.

263
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,781
have an expiration date.

264
00:19:21,781 --> 00:19:24,544
You can keep upgrading until your final breath.

265
00:19:24,544 --> 00:19:25,785
How cool is that?

266
00:19:25,785 --> 00:19:29,388
Imagine living your entire life in a state of forward motion.

267
00:19:29,388 --> 00:19:31,912
Never bored, never stagnant,

268
00:19:31,912 --> 00:19:36,412
Always unveiling more of that special potential inside of you.

269
00:19:39,832 --> 00:19:43,957
Look, my goal with this episode was to reboot the conversation about seeing yourself as a
powerful programmable force.

270
00:19:44,356 --> 00:19:45,977
want you to hear this loud and clear.

271
00:19:45,977 --> 00:19:50,397
The version of you who's listening to this right now might be just at the brink of version
one.

272
00:19:50,397 --> 00:19:53,837
Oh, maybe you're at 2.0 or 4.7 or 10.3.

273
00:19:53,837 --> 00:19:55,029
It doesn't matter.

274
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:56,440
There's always another level.

275
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,872
There's always room for a brand new system update.

276
00:19:59,872 --> 00:20:03,194
And that my friends is the rocket fuel for your life.

277
00:20:03,194 --> 00:20:08,476
Wake up every day and say, all right, time to program, time to upgrade.

278
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:10,840
ask what your next micro upgrade is.

279
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:18,584
It could be a single new habit, a single positive affirmation, or just an extra 10 minutes
of quality time with your kids.

280
00:20:18,865 --> 00:20:26,851
Because each small shift you make in your system ripples out, bringing your entire life
into greater alignment.

281
00:20:26,872 --> 00:20:31,825
It's beautiful, it's empowering, and best of all, it's yours for the taking.

282
00:20:32,106 --> 00:20:34,148
All right, well, that's enough geeking out for now.

283
00:20:34,148 --> 00:20:40,933
And I could go on for days with this about how we can program every aspect of our life,
but I think you get the bigger picture here.

284
00:20:40,933 --> 00:20:44,936
You are the hardware, you are the software, and you are the programmer.

285
00:20:44,936 --> 00:20:49,740
When you fully embrace that, life just opens up in ways you never imagined.

286
00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:53,036
And before we wrap this up, remember, start with awareness.

287
00:20:53,036 --> 00:20:58,007
Identify the beliefs, the habits, you know, the processes that you want to, or you need to
upgrade.

288
00:20:58,007 --> 00:20:59,907
Embrace version 1.0.

289
00:20:59,907 --> 00:21:01,068
It's never perfect.

290
00:21:01,068 --> 00:21:02,909
It's always going to be worth starting though.

291
00:21:02,909 --> 00:21:04,149
Keep iterating.

292
00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:05,828
Don't stop at 1.5.

293
00:21:05,828 --> 00:21:08,130
March all the way up to 100.5.

294
00:21:08,130 --> 00:21:08,720
It doesn't matter.

295
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,512
Keep going.

296
00:21:09,512 --> 00:21:11,653
Seek harmony, not just outcomes.

297
00:21:11,653 --> 00:21:16,126
You you want success that feels as good as it looks from the outside.

298
00:21:16,126 --> 00:21:22,964
And that my friends is how you build a life of perpetual growth, life, perpetual
fulfillment.

299
00:21:23,027 --> 00:21:33,585
And if there's anything I want you to remember this, it's because I've walked this road
from being completely lost at 14 to designing a life that allows me to dream bigger than I

300
00:21:33,585 --> 00:21:34,826
ever thought possible.

301
00:21:34,826 --> 00:21:38,709
And it's all thanks to mastering my own internal operating system.

302
00:21:38,709 --> 00:21:40,889
So let's do this together, right?

303
00:21:40,951 --> 00:21:50,518
Let's commit to living at the highest level that we can imagine, savoring every single
upgrade and staying open to the wonders that come when we are bolding up to be the

304
00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:52,729
architects of our own existence.
