Kevin PalmieriHOST
It's like, dude, just be you.
Kevin PalmieriHOST
That's one of the, so we had a, an interview we did with Steven Kotler and that was like the line of demarcation for me where I was like, I can't be like Alan.
Kevin PalmieriHOST
I can be more like Alan, but I'm not supposed to be just like Alan.
Kevin PalmieriHOST
Let me just try to make Steven Kotler laugh.
Kevin PalmieriHOST
Like, let me just be me.
Kevin PalmieriHOST
So this is the,
9 MINS LATER
Kevin PalmieriHOST
And again, this is another great example of like, dude, these episodes are easy for me.
Kevin PalmieriHOST
They're really hard for you.
NikolaHOST
Peter Diamandis' book is literally called The Future is Better Than You Think.
NikolaHOST
right? Steven Kotler is one of his co-authors.
NikolaHOST
I have interviewed him two or three times.
NikolaHOST
I've interviewed Peter once.
Anna KrishtalHOST
I also want to point you towards a great book that I recommend to clients all the time.
Anna KrishtalHOST
It is called Stealing Fire by Jamie Wheal and Steven Kotler.
Anna KrishtalHOST
It discusses how top innovators like Google, Navy SEALs, and other scientists use psychedelics as a way to get out of ordinary thinking.
Anna KrishtalHOST
It's hard to imagine that this book is already almost a decade old.
Alan LazarusHOST
You kind of have to, if, if books aren't a part of your life, your future is definitely taking a hit.
Alan LazarusHOST
I love that Steven Kotler went and broke down the math of this.
Alan LazarusHOST
He said, if you use five and a half hours of your time to read the art of impossible or stealing fire or which stealing fire is fire, pun intended, the rise of Superman.
Alan LazarusHOST
He said, you get 10 years of my life for five and a half hours of yours.
Rían DorisHOST
So this made me more obsessed with Flow, hearing about it, learning about it like this.
Rían DorisHOST
and I dove deeper into the research and I found a modern day researcher called Steven Kotler.
Rían DorisHOST
Has anyone heard of Steven Kotler? I know Joe, Joe knows him.
Rían DorisHOST
Steven Kotler, Csikszentmihalyi, who's the Hungarian psychologist that coined the term flow, he did the psychology research on flow.
Rían DorisHOST
Steven Kotler did the neuroscience research on flow.
Rían DorisHOST
And what I found fascinating about Kotler's research is that he emphasized the skills that we most need in the 21st century, as entrepreneurs, are the ones most amplified by flow.
Rían DorisHOST
High-speed decision-making, creativity, productivity, accelerated learning, accelerated skill acquisition, the ability to synthesize large swatches of complex information, flow makes us better at all of these things.
Ann TsungGUEST
Oh yeah, there's a whole thought on it.
Ann TsungGUEST
With Steven Kotler and Brian Doris, they created the Flow Research Collective.
Ann TsungGUEST
So they're very evidence-based in how to teach elite performance and by accessing flow state on demand.
Ann TsungGUEST
There's a lot that goes into it.
GregHOST
Mm-hmm.
GregHOST
And now entering this space called flow, which by the way, have you heard of Steven Kotler? Steven Kotler started a little thing called the Flow Research Collective or something like that.
GregHOST
He's got a couple of books out there on flow state.
GregHOST
Sorry for the diversion here really quick.
Chase JacksonHOST
Yeah, that's amazing.
Chase JacksonHOST
You mentioned flow and you mentioned earlier before we got on, you've met with Steven Kotler a couple of times this year.
Chase JacksonHOST
In the pro teams that you've worked with or seen over the years, has that come into, has that word come about in terms of organizations yet?
Chase JacksonHOST
I don't know.
Dr. JC DoornickHOST
Mm
Jim KwikGUEST
... you know, other individuals like Steven Kotler, who's the top, you know, flow researcher in the world for flow states, for people who wanna feel their best and perform their best.
Jim KwikGUEST
You know, and Dave Asprey on how to biohack your brain and, and just, uh, Hal Elrod talking about like, you know, he's sold millions of copies of, uh, Miracle Morning about how to design a miracle morning around Limitless Daily.
Jim KwikGUEST
Um, but it's really the people that show up.
Ryan AndersonHOST
Amazing.
Ryan AndersonHOST
And do you mind speaking to flow and how you guys describe that? Because I've been listening to Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheel, these guys that have the Flow Genome Project, and they put people into these flow dojos and they tried to understand how to basically cultivate flow on demand through different techniques, ecstatic experiences, breath, movement, novelty.
Ryan AndersonHOST
So do you mind going into that a little?
Jonathan SchoolerGUEST
Yeah, so flow is a very interesting phenomena, and it's one that really deserves a more rigorous empirical investigation.
