Key takeaways

• Subconscious beliefs, often formed in early life, operate beneath awareness and shape behavior and success.

One of the core subconscious beliefs that I uncovered in my late 20s was the belief that I was worthless. If you would have asked me consciously, hey dude, do you believe you're worthless? I've been like, no, of course not. It's a silly thing to say. But the truth of the matter was that there is these core beliefs that live beneath their conscious awareness. We are here and today's guest is someone I've been waiting to have a conversation with. He's written one of the best books that I've ever read and is just a great follower and a believer of truth. He's a high performance coach of elite entrepreneurs. He is the goat of all goats. Please join me in welcoming the insightful, the visionary, the impactful, Mr Brandon Epstein. Brandon, how you doing today brother? Wow man, what an intro. Geez, she's gonna make me blush man. No blushing, no blushing, no blushing. No blushing. No blushing. No blushing. No, man. I'm truly honored to be here with you to be here with you, dude. . going to talk a lot about the success code we're going to talk a lot about some of the things that you have going on and cooking up in the future because I know you well enough to know you always have something you're working on improving man but I love starting the show by asking my guest about there be cause that thing that's deeper than there why like that true passion and purpose that they have and it changes from time to time so if I just say right now in this season that this season that Brandon is in. What's your because today brother? Yeah my because is to align with my most joyful expression in the present moment and guide other people to do the same, you know because I work with like you said a lot of business owners professional athletes entertainers and what I find is that that flow state that zone that place where their genius is really put on display is directly aligned with play with joy with coming into the present moment and feeling free so I can't support anyone else with that unless I'm actually taking my own medicine so I I prioritize it for myself first and then try to bring it out to the people I work with. Yes sir, yes sir. You know, again a huge fan of you and going into your because a little bit, you know, you talk a lot and teach a lot on removing those subconscious blocks that we haven't. And it was through you that I realized that we actually have those subconscious blocks, man. Like, was there a specific block that you had to overcome that kind of led you to the discovery for yourself? Absolutely. There's many, many, many, many, many. I think about our inner world, our subconscious as our own inner planet we're living on. And for me, I would say I was born into a celestial experience with a very dirty inner planet, subconscious, program to make me fail in many ways, and then just picking that up, you know, from environment, environment, you know, from environment. family people you get exposed to it programmed me to fail in many ways. And so there's too many to count, but I would probably say like one of the core subconscious beliefs that I uncovered in my late 20s, this really set me free to major way was the belief that I was worthless. Right? And if you would have asked me consciously, hey dude, do you believe you're worthless? I'm like, no, of course not. It's a silly thing to say. Because I'd already working on myself and helping others for over a decade. But the truth of the matter was that there is these core beliefs that live beneath our conscious awareness. And if you can get yourself down there beneath the known, and you go into the unknown, which is where most people don't want to go because it's uncomfortable, because you don't know. Yeah, that's where you get to the root of your root of your suffering. you also get to the root of your potential expansion for meals worthless because think if I'm in a relationship with a woman well what the hell's wrong with her if she wants to be with someone who's worthless right that's a subconscious code running oh what if I'm trying to sell my something or sell my product well I'm worthless so why would you want anything from me so that was a real deep core belief that I had to rewire for myself to expand and start to magnetize more of what I wanted in my life. is so deep and it kind of leads me into like the next segment right I like to call it the unplug truths and when I read success code here's what I realize and and this is kind of my way of quantifying it because you say it so eloquently in the book too is that most of us are trying to win externally right but we're losing internally And then we never understand success because we don't really know what it feels like, right? Like we're so focused on this external external external, external, but on the inside is where we lose. And I'd love to break that truth down because I'm talking to the expert. For those that are watching and listening, I'm about to ask a whole bunch of questions that I know you want to ask Brandon these questions. And so when I get the expert, I'm going selfishly into fixing Mick today. Yeah, beautiful man. Well, dude, I got to point to one of my goats, Tony Robbins has a quote that he says, the ultimate failure is success without fulfillment, right? And that's what we're talking about. Beautiful man. Well dude I got to point to one of my goats, Tony Robbins has a quote that he says the ultimate failure is success without fulfillment right and that's what we're talking about because most of us were program into this matrix, which is this reality we live in and we're basically fed through media, through community, through our environment what we should want, what should make us happy, what should give us a sense of peace, joy, love, but when we try to create our reality based off of like what our head thinks we should want, we disconnect ourselves from the truth. The truth always lives in the heart and the truth is directly connected to our higher power, you know, so whatever that is for me is God and I can feel that moving through my heart in every moment, and the way I feel it is through the way I feel it is through inspiration listening to heart. And so what I found a cheat code for trying to create a reality that's going to feel full instead of empty, as in you're creating outcomes and results for yourself that are actually going to enrich your life at the emotional level is always act from inspiration and not obligation. Because oftentimes if we're trying to create from this place of obligation, we're doing it from our head, we're doing it from a story you've been told, that's not our own. And so you get there, you create the outcome, look, I sold my business, look, I got this type of romantic partner, whatever that external thing is for you. If it's not connected to your heart-led inspiration, you're gonna get there and be, and you're gonna feel empty. sold my business. Look I got this type of romantic partner whatever that external thing is for you. If it's not connected to your heart-led inspiration you're going to get there and be and you're going to feel empty and it's going to be that ultimate failure Tony talks about. It's going to like oh man I put all this work in and it wasn't worth it. I know that you coach this especially when I'm talking to sales people and you do a lot with helping leaders and individuals get access into their flow state, right? And I'm a big believer in it, but I also understand, Brandon, I'm asking this question for every entrepreneur that exists today because of all the good distractions, right? Like, I'm not even gonna say bad distractions, because some distractions are good. We just don't know how to get into the flow state to finish one segment to the next, right? Yes. And so with AI and the ability to build apps and the ability to sometimes do things on your own, even though we can I don't necessarily think that we should because for me personally, it interrupts my flow state, right? And now I'm not in the flow state because I already knew how to do what I was trying to do anyway, but there was this new tool. And again, I'm not saying it's bad, but talk to us that are in this distracted world on flow state, why it's important, and more importantly, some tips that we could get to stay there. Yeah. When I'm working with any client to try to get them into flow state, it's mostly addition by subtraction. through that's it starts with like the conscious low hanging fruit if some were to audit their lives and they're like all right where does distractions come from where does procrastination come from where do you feel out of flow I bet you most people could say you know a handful of things that they know if they stop doing these these things it's going to it's going to create more spaciousness is going to create a better environment for getting into flow. So we have those conscious low hanging fruits. Those things you already know. And then we have the subconscious, which is definitely not low hanging fruit. It's not something that's readily available for you to get into. You actually have to access that stuff through your feeling body we call
