Sometimes the biggest thing holding us back isn’t our skills or circumstances, it’s the way we see ourselves. And in a world where AI is changing the game every day, the way we think matters more than ever. John Assaraf knows this firsthand. He went from a rocky start in Montreal to building five multimillion-dollar companies, writing two New York Times bestsellers, and showing up in films like The Secret, all because he learned how to rewire his brain for success.
In our conversation, John shares how he uses what he calls “innercising” to train his mind the same way we’d train our bodies. It’s not just theory, he gives simple, practical things you can start doing right away to break free from the self-doubt and habits that keep you stuck. We talk about identity, the sneaky ways it shapes your results, and how small shifts in your thinking can lead to huge changes in your life.
And then there’s AI, the thing everyone’s talking about but not everyone knows how to use. John has a refreshing take on how it can actually make us smarter, faster, and better at what we do, without losing the human touch. We swap ideas on how to blend mindset with technology so you’re not just keeping up, you’re getting ahead. If you’re ready to upgrade the way you think and work in today’s fast-moving world, you’ll love this conversation.
