Speaker 1 (0:06) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast, where we cover three core topics. How to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. But today, we're going to go deep, more about investing into your mind, and why it's so important in the AI world. This gentleman has sold tons and tons and tons and tons of copies of his book. Speaker 2 (0:29) Millions and Speaker 1 (0:29) millions and millions and millions and millions of views. Speaker 2 (0:32) And we give the money away, too. Speaker 1 (0:33) And we give the money away. We're definitely going to get into that. He's got millions of views every single week across social media. People listening to him on podcasts. They're watching him on stages around the planet. He is one of my favorite humans ever to exist and walk on this earth. Out of the 8 billion humans that have been here, and even the 2 billion people that have passed away, he's in my top 10 all time. So I'm very excited about this podcast. when we're going to dive in and ask him some real straightforward questions and useful tips for you. But I also want to keep this very, very important thing in mind. These podcasts are under 40 minutes because the average workout is 45 minutes. The average commute to work is 45 minutes. So this will be between 35 and 39 minutes for your listening pleasure. Also, these podcasts are not just for you. It might be from someone from your past, present, or future. It might be for someone that you're at lunch with two months from now and like, oh, wait a minute, Dan said this, or wait a minute, the guest said that, and you want to forward it to your friend. That's the butterfly effect. You could literally change your friend's life to help them with their makeup company, their real estate brand, their business that they're working on, the startup idea that they have, something that's stuck in their mind about investing or something they're scared about, renting, leasing, financing. What do they do? These topics are very important because we grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. This podcast has proven that is not true because we have stayed in the top 100 podcasts for over 116 episodes out of our 131. We're in the top 100 podcasts on the planet. And there are 5.4 million podcasts that have existed over the last four years since we started. So I appreciate you guys. We're going to dive right in. Mr. Jim Quick, give us the quick two minute bio. So we get straight to the money. Speaker 2 (2:12) Congratulations. That's amazing, Dan. I'm a brain coach. I had a traumatic brain injury when I was five, so I didn't start out this way. And I learned ways to compensate. I was called the boy with the broken brain. And for the past 35 years, I've been on a mission to build better, brighter brains every day. You know, no brain left behind. I was a very slow learner. So I'm very known for teaching speed reading, memory enhancement, focus, brain optimization. I wanted to build human intelligence. in an AI world. I think it's so critical now with so many people offloading their thinking to AI. I think AI, I'm very pro-technology, and we use it. But yeah, we're on a mission just to help people get faster, smarter, better. Speaker 1 (2:59) You have trained some household name celebrities politicians business moguls So let's say like the cast of Marvel when they come to you or professor X You know the household name celebrities are in the our favorite movies of all time Why are they coming to you to get their brain? Is it rewired? Is it to focus? Is it to memorize their scripts? Like why are they coming to Jim quick? Speaker 2 (3:20) Yeah, I think everything comes from the mind. You know, you really want to master your mind today. Nobody listening to this when we're talking about wealth build, it's not your brute strength today, it's your brain strength, right? It's not your muscle power, it's your mind power. And the faster you can learn, the faster you can earn. Because knowledge today isn't only power, it's profit. Speaker 2 (3:37) When you could easily remember things, client information, product information, give speeches without notes, do things on video without a teleprompter, people feel your expertise. And especially in a world with a lot of AI slop, it's important to confidently be able to share your ideas, to be a wealth of knowledge, to build trust. You remember people's names, all the important things in business. But yeah, in Hollywood. helping them speed read scripts, memorize lines, be focused on set, you know, are really critical skills. But I think everybody wants to benefit from better memory, better focus, problem solving, good decision making, you know, just getting those flow states and just having your best brain. And even even in wealth, right? Like you look at. Warren Buffett or somebody, you know, superpower is like, it's Speaker 1 (4:27) a Speaker 2 (4:27) cognitive power. It's judgment, right? Or Steve Jobs, it's creativity, you know, melding technology and storytelling and design and typography, you know, but they're all cognitive skills. I've noticed like we do a lot, we do trainings at Facebook, Nike, Google, SpaceX, the US Air Force. I mean, who can't benefit from a better brain? I mean, just think about it. If we lost half of our brain's potential, you know, like. how effective would we be? Our society would Speaker 1 (4:54) shut down. Right. Speaker 2 (4:55) And so that does everything. But if you could supercharge it, you know, and, you know, my concern, especially with AI, it's kind of like everybody has access to this multi-million, like an F1 driver. You have like a multi-million dollar piece of technology, but ultimately it's the driver that's going to, you know, dictate the performance. And I feel like, you know. in a world of AI, I know we're going to talk about it, it could scale and it could amplify, but it can only scale and amplify what we bring to it. Like somebody could use it to make a nice social media post and somebody could use it to make the next billion dollar venture, you know. But if somebody is unclear and they're confused, it magnifies that. If somebody is very competent and capable and has character, it'll scale that also as well. So, yeah, I think HI before AI. But in sports, reaction time, thinking speed, remembering plays, you know, in business, be able to remember facts and figures and important information. You know, I think it shows that you care and that you're competent. Speaker 1 (5:58) There's something that Jim mentioned, which is called AI slop. And I don't want to go past that. What people are not realizing about the AI technology is over 30 % of it is searched from Reddit and Google. What happens is a lot of the things that are on red in Google are not factual So let's say Jim and I go to the restaurant and a team here at Hubble studio We all go the restaurant. There's eight of us to go to the restaurant Beautiful restaurant at least I think so but Jim thinks it's actually kind of like oh it feels like it's like in the 1930s That's what he puts on Google. I put a review and I go on Yelp I'm like this place is so modern and cool I loved it because to me the 1930s maybe that's modern feeling to me and I don't really know the difference our friend Vince He goes over there and he's like, man, that was the best steak I've had in the last 40 years. But Carla's like, this steak was weird. My steak actually had a cockroach underneath it. Whether there was a cockroach or not, we don't know. But she said that there was. And then our other friend, Jennifer, she's like, oh, this place, that waiter was so rude. I'll never come back. I'm telling all my friends, the staff here sucks. Everyone's right. Everyone I just mentioned, all five, six of us out of the eight that took the time to go on Yelp and Google and Reddit were right because it's opinion-based. And so when AI searches the internet and they find the Yelps and they find the Reddits and they find the Googles, those things that they take as fact, the AI takes as fact, is actually Jim's opinions, Dan's opinions, and other people's opinions. That may not actually ever get solved because how does AI determine? which ones are opinions and which ones are factual, because technically all of us were right in the scenario. And even if we're right or it does determine that, what about the fact that the things that we said changes tonality, changes the time of the week. They could have been different management a year ago. Now there's new managers or new owners. So much changes in the course of a business for that restaurant and is now impacted in the AI world forever because of AI slop. Jim Quick, right next to us is your book. Speaker 1 (8:04) Yeah. Tell us about it. This is a beautiful purple book. If you're watching this on video, yeah. If you are listening to us on iTunes right now, tell us about the book. Speaker 2 (8:12) So the book's called Limitless Daily. And, you know, with Limitless, it did extremely well. But people are asking, how do I bring this to life every single day, a little bit each day? You know, I didn't want to write another book because there are a lot of books, right? And most people could read it in a few days and put it on their shelf and it becomes. you know, more shelf help, not self help. You know, I wanted to develop a practice for people because anything, wealth included, health, relationships, it's all the consistency, right? It's what you do daily that compounds because consistency compounds. And so what I wanted to do is help people to be able to launch their day. And it's a daily book. So you put in, you know, August 17th or whatever, and it gives you the lesson for that day in less than five minutes. And that's the promise. And it's based on the, Science where some dailies pull from stoicism or Judaism or Christianity or Buddhism? This pulls from science science of the mind which is psychology and science of the brain which is neuroscience and gives them one idea written inspiring way One implementation they could do in two minutes no excuse and then a new identity statement and I think you know my goal with it is is to make it You know, there's a part as here's here's a takeaway for a lot of entrepreneurs investors The one thing that's equal is our time, right? And 24 hours a day. Not everybody has the same income, not everybody has the same network, not everybody has the same education, what have you, but everyone has 24 hours a day. It's not just what you're doing, it's when you're doing it. So when you wake up, here's a pro tip. There's something called sleep inertia. And sleep inertia is where you transition from sleeping state to waking state. And that window can last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the quality of your sleep, what part of your sleep you woke up in and so on. what happens is the mental input that you put into that window has a disproportionate effect on the rest of your day. Specifically, they're your focus, what you're going to focus on, how you're going to feel that day and how you frame situations during the day. Now, so it's called attentional priming. And so what happens, most people fill that window with their phone, right? And no judgment here, but the challenge is the content on your phone is going to magnify throughout the day in terms of have a high influence on what you're going to focus on that day, which could be comparison, which could be conflict, which could be war, which could be, you know, whatever. It all is how you're feeling. I mean, you probably picked up your phone first thing in the morning and you got a social media comment or voicemail or whatever, and it kind of hijacks your mood for hours. And then also how you frame the day. If you're watching court cases, it'll, it'll, you'll, you'll, it'll, it'll, filter and frame like your relationships even later that day it's just like at first thing in the morning nobody would ever grab like you know have a bunch of donuts and cupcakes and soda first thing because it would affect your focus how you feel and how you frame same thing with food like You know, it's the quality of the information you let in. Like nobody would let in first thing in the morning when you woke up 200 strangers into your bedroom to talk about whatever they want to talk about at the
