Question number one: You're an employer and you're looking for employees. You've got two candidates and they seem to be identical. One is a white candidate, one is a black candidate, but on paper they seem to have just the same background and experience so you can't tell. But the black candidate mentions that he's building a talent stack and he prefers systems over goals. And you immediately recognize that he's read my book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." Who do you hire? Which one do you hire? The one who read my book or the one who didn't?

Well, if you said white person, now you would hire the black person because the black person had acquired a set of skills that very clearly signal a serious person who is very likely to do well and you would want to work with him.

So I put that out there as evidence that there already is a strategy for people to succeed. But why don't they? What's holding things up? If we know exactly what it would take for any individual, be they white or black or brown or anything else, we know how to do it. Why isn't it happening?

Well that's what the whiteboards are going to teach you. Are you ready for this? Are you ready to have your mind blown? Some people on the Locals platform, my community there, have seen some of this but you're going to see it all put together in a way they haven't seen either.

So the first part you may have seen. It's an idea by a philosopher, Lao Tzu. I'll try to get rid of that. There we go. And Lao Tzu said many years ago, he said watch your thoughts because your thoughts become words. Watch your words because your words become actions. Watch your actions because they become habits. Habits become your character and your character is destiny.

Now I'm going to update this. Lao Tzu was a very smart guy apparently, but he was smart before we discovered how to make AI work. So there's something we have to update on this. Words and thoughts turns out are the same thing. Whoops. So AI taught us, the large language models, that all you have to do is look at the pattern of words and if you applied the right technology to it, just the word use alone would produce intelligence.

But before that we imagined we had some kind of reason and thoughts and stuff that was independent from our words. But AI kind of put the lie to that, which is something by the way hypnotists have known forever. Hypnotists know that the words are what are activating you. The thoughts are really word combinations because we think in words, right? Your thoughts right now, your private thoughts are in words.

If you were to change those words, what would happen? Well if you change the words. So I'm going to treat your words an
