welcome to unfuck your brain, the
0:09
only podcast teaches you how to
0:11
use psychology, feminism,
0:13
and coaching to
0:14
rewire your brain and get what
0:16
you want in life and now
0:18
here's your hosts, harvard law, school
0:21
grad
0:31
the on how i
0:33
, mean aesthetically other
0:35
off that way it's , fallen
0:38
new york summer now pacific than it is
0:40
i and i don't know
0:42
if those feelings about summer so i think i
0:44
am consistent about summer because i'm
0:46
just not a big fan of it overall i mean i like
0:49
it being late at night late late
0:51
at night
0:51
we go for tongue twister
0:53
hi i'm not like i
0:56
could do without the he the humidity
0:58
the smell like the
1:00
sweating all it doesn't make sense
1:03
but i see a lot of people around me who
1:05
love parts of summer they
1:08
love that it's hot had an ex
1:10
who loved being hi i was like so mr
1:12
five they
1:14
love ball on days they love
1:17
they heat but then they don't like the mosquitoes
1:19
and they don't like me now
1:20
the way the garbage smell the new york and summer
1:23
or they love the long nights but they
1:25
don't like the heat or they whatever it is
1:27
and , is sort of a superficial
1:30
example of something that i want to talk about
1:32
on a really deep level with you all as when i call
1:35
the internal fun
1:37
prediction error
1:39
and
1:40
the have any my made up and you know it's not a snappy
1:43
they've done a better job but emily
1:45
specific case right now the aim
1:47
is pretty tired but given i mean
1:50
by the internal contradictions era
1:52
and i have had just come up most
1:54
recently in coaching around business
1:57
and selves and it's what about the success
1:59
of entrepreneurs but whoever
2:01
you are a hundred percent i guarantee
2:03
you are doing this and some area of your
2:05
life and so i you
2:07
know just listen and apply it
2:10
to wherever you can see your doing that
2:12
the internal contradictions error
2:14
is when we want to do
2:17
a thing be a kind of person
2:19
that we want the experience to be
2:21
away that is completely contradictory
2:25
to the thing that we wanna do or the personally
2:27
want to be the whereas
2:29
you the three up and entrepreneurship all the time
2:31
is people decide they want to be
2:33
entrepreneurs they want to start their own business
2:37
the partnership is inherently
2:40
hi it's very nature the
2:43
risky unpredictable
2:46
experience
2:48
it is inherently and bias nature
2:51
and experience that requires failing
2:54
alive trying things that don't
2:56
work being rejected
2:59
having inconsistent the sometimes
3:02
the and going through
3:04
the ups and downs of figuring
3:06
like every single fucking
3:09
thing out yourselves even
3:11
if you hire a business coach even
3:14
if you hire whoever even if you have an mp
3:16
yea like being an entrepreneur
3:19
is basically being a real time
3:21
problem solver with your business
3:23
on the line all the time now obviously
3:26
like as your business growth guess established
3:28
you have more other kind of
3:30
safety net with the business like the business
3:33
is kind of robust enough that you
3:35
have a failure it's on a b d all
3:37
you have a thing tatham don't work
3:40
you know he sort of have an infrastructure
3:42
that can take beating a little bit it's
3:44
electric heat for sure is not
3:47
always as crazy
3:49
of a rollercoaster as it is the very beginnings
3:52
either ignorant we like that like after
3:55
, an entrepreneur is it
3:57
is not inherently
4:00
the table
4:01
the position where someone else country
4:03
the knew how to do the job exactly
4:05
right and you will get
4:08
the back and reviews and it's
4:10
insistence like salary
4:12
and four one k
4:14
and whatever right an entrepreneur you adequate
4:17
for yourself you guys teachers have had to do the job
4:19
while you're on the job and again like
4:21
i always work with scissors coaches a
4:23
offer business touching and my service business mastermind
4:26
like getting an amazing
4:28
but it's coaching your brain where it's getting in
4:30
your on way no matter who you are
4:32
no matter what for ramey and roll and you're
4:35
going after figure out ship for your own business and
4:37
like how it works and how to talk about it and
4:39
hottest salad and how to best teachers
4:42
your people on how to reach them and how to change
4:44
them and all that so entrepreneurship
4:47
is in here
4:48
we
4:49
fifty that is the trade off
4:51
you don't have to go
4:54
who an office where you work for someone else nine
4:57
to five or eight to eat or
4:59
whatever it is you don't have
5:01
to agree with somebody else or what's
5:03
your salary can be you don't have
5:06
to do what other people say like those
5:08
are the benefits but trade off
5:10
is is inherently risky and unpredictable
5:13
and you don't know how to do it and yeah
5:15
i see so many entrepreneurs what
5:17
i call it does entrepreneurial delusion
5:20
which is this idea that
5:23
it entrepreneurship field as
5:26
stable and predictable and safe
5:29
the having a desk job as working
5:31
for someone right
5:33
that's the like him her no contradiction
5:35
error it is
5:37
this delusion that the
5:40
thing that you want to
5:42
do with this person you want to be should
5:44
it's not involve
5:46
any of the he scary
5:49
or difficult aspects of ensign
5:51
fact it's feel as
5:53
safe and stable and predictable as
5:55
the other thing rates i see this
5:57
friend since an people
5:59
the corner
5:59
monogamous where they want it to be non
6:02
monogamous without having a seal the
6:04
our c and security
6:07
conflicts over time management
6:10
you know the sort of instability of
6:12
learning how
6:13
whew
6:14
let me not wanna be clear high see this phenomenon
6:16
was relationships are not inherently unstable
6:19
in that any more so than longest
6:21
relationships and fans as people can
6:23
be committed to each other whether they're monogamous or not
6:26
right now monogamous relationships don't
6:28
rely on the institution
6:30
of and the sort of the white
6:33
hatch band aid of monogamy
6:35
to provide a false sense of
6:38
security an institutional
6:40
security rights a non monogamous relationships
6:43
inherently have
6:45
more people involved you know whether
6:47
there's more than two people in a given relationship
6:49
or just the people in the relationship have other relationships
6:52
there's more people involved there's more time commitments
6:55
there's more things to prioritize things
6:57
are inherently more complicated may
6:59
be complicated better word used to people wanna
7:01
have wanna nama the relationship without any
7:04
of the complications of non
7:06
monogamy and when they miriam
7:08
someone they feel jealous when they feel and
7:10
secure when they have to wrestle
7:12
with what it means someone someone
7:14
and how to know when you that your loved without
7:17
those things you've been socialized to be taught you need
7:19
to show your love to see think something's gone
7:21
wrong and the same thing with i entrepreneurial
7:23
delusion entrepreneurs
7:26
experience challenge
7:28
, failure things
7:30
not working you know business
7:32
defang after it was after it and then then
7:35
the next year or whatever else and then they think something
7:37
has gone wrong they think they're
7:39
supposed to know exactly what to do
7:42
that everything is the the just be
7:44
a clear and smooth progression always growing
7:47
bigger and bigger consistently with
7:49
no failure with no uncertainty
7:51
without risk know insecurity
7:54
that's just an internal
7:56
inherent contradictions you cannot
7:59
have that that's enough what the thing dies
8:02
like thing i wanna take the train
8:05
the i wanted to be as
8:07
fast as an airplane i want to chain
8:09
because i like to be able to get on and off and
8:12
i like to be able to see outside
8:14
the window and i don't want to be in the air
8:17
and i don't want to go to the airport
8:19
that i wanna
8:20
though at the speed of a flight
8:23
like if not it's a huntley contradictory you
8:25
can't have that now maybe
8:27
somebody someone's gonna
8:28
that and nothing but the
8:30
point is that when
8:32
we decided that we want to experience
8:35
something we want to be
8:37
an entrepreneur wanna be non monogamous
8:39
we want to be whatever rate whoever
8:41
it is you want to be what everything we wanna do
8:44
yeah we are so resistant
8:46
to the essential inherent nature
8:48
of that experience that
8:51
, so much emotional trauma
8:53
and so much suffering for us and
8:55
the worst part is be completely magnify
8:58
it and make it how much worse for ourselves if
9:01
you understood that being entrepreneur
9:04
is inherently
9:06
d and confusing
9:08
the not as stable
9:09
i'm working for a multi nash
9:11
preparation maybe obviously there's multinational
9:13
corporations that also fail and then you lose your
9:15
job so some of the stuff is illusion
9:18
but if you want to
9:20
have this experience
9:23
of the older your own business of getting to do like
9:25
exactly what you want to do in the world
9:27
rights it's sort of like in the more you
9:29
want to customize your life
9:31
the no more you are going
9:34
to experience
9:36
how and and some struggle and
9:39
trying different things and some of them not working
9:41
and more instability as you try to figure it
9:43
out that's just the trade
9:45
off rate that is the cost of doing
9:47
business if you want
9:50
i feel secure paycheck
9:52
with no risk and know very
9:54
the east end
9:55
don't become an entrepreneur
9:57
person on the beginning you can have that on the line sometimes
9:59
hey if you want to
10:03
never have to consent questions
10:05
around national romantic
10:08
monogamy what that brings up from you don't become
10:10
non monogamous rates and i could
10:12
give you some million other examples and sort of you listening
10:14
to have exams that i would never even think out because are
10:16
not my life experiences
10:19
or whatever your life is like and when should
10:21
think about the places in your life the
10:23
sort of whether it's her job
10:25
at whether it's your family where's your personal
10:27
relationships weather service kind of person
10:30
you wanna be com where
10:32
you want all the good parts of it but
10:35
you don't want any of the more challenging parts
10:37
and to , that makes it worse
10:39
when the inherent and natural
10:41
challenging parts come up you
10:44
react to them like it the pumping have
10:46
gone wrong then often
10:48
because women are socialized to always blame themselves
10:51
for anything that we blame ourselves
10:53
to this is like something i work on so much in the
10:55
summers business mastermind is my
10:59
why n the who have
11:01
businesses that are working whoa
11:03
work if they keep going freaking
11:06
out about what our natural
11:08
variations in this because
11:10
entrepreneurship is inherently
11:13
risky and an even especially the beginning
11:16
right but then when that happens they make it mean
11:18
there's something wrong with them so suppose if they just
11:20
thought themselves oh right
11:23
this is the cost doing this as this is the tradeoff
11:25
i wanted it to build my
11:27
own vision the work for myself create
11:29
my perfect job for myself
11:33
yeah because the that is like nobody else
11:35
gives me the plan for what to do and
11:37
nobody else guarantees my salary in
11:39
my retirement benefits of my health care and
11:41
nobody else rate has
11:44
the training programs i know exactly how to do
11:46
every part of my role playing this is the
11:48
trade off this is dorm on natural student
11:50
visas the big deal be able to keep going and that's what they're
11:52
learning that for we work on but
11:55
when i see so often is that in whatever
11:57
area this is coming up for people
11:59
they want
12:01
the thing they want without any
12:03
of the inherent challenges and complications
12:06
of it's and then when they experience
12:08
those rather than recognize that those are normal
12:11
and natural and part of that process
12:14
they make it mean something has gone wrong
12:17
they became reactive suez they become resistant
12:19
to where they make it knew something about their own
12:21
capacity and keep ability rates
12:24
so many license in the some list as a mastermind
12:26
are making hundreds of thousands
12:28
of dollars a year and slim themselves that they are
12:30
bad at best that's just because they arts
12:32
serious thing normal
12:35
there he skyn in there's
12:37
up and in entrepreneurship that exist inherent
12:39
to the the koreans
12:42
they compounded they make it mean there's something wrong
12:44
with them and that of course that starts to
12:46
fuck with their mind is fucks with their decisions
12:49
that's to their self concept as a business person
12:51
as an entrepreneur make them they they
12:53
don't know how to do it they're doing it wrong and then
12:55
they can
12:55
how now problem
12:56
same thing with lox a non monogamy
12:59
the other example been using the
13:01
of normal
13:03
the
13:04
that didn't this is normal like the it's
13:06
normal citizen motion sick from up when
13:08
you are non monogamy
13:09
then you can either think like oh right
13:12
the crop doing business i want us
13:14
of our freedom to love and be loved by multiple
13:16
people
13:16
want my partner to have that level of freedom
13:19
probably sometimes it's gonna get messy
13:22
that's okay i'm up for that i
13:24
understand that's inherent to this thing
13:26
i want that's a very
13:28
different experience than having a coma i'm
13:30
starting to freak out believing that
13:32
you should never the feel that thing and if it does
13:35
that mean your partner did something wrong probably
13:37
think you need to control them better spray
13:39
which is antithetical to the whole process for
13:42
the from the wrong with you and your broken and you'll never be
13:44
able to fill that are about this and then
13:46
you make a problem so much worse for yourself
13:49
you quit so how much more suffering for yourself
13:51
i want you to think about were in your
13:54
life you are making
13:56
this internal consistency
13:58
error the internal contradict
13:59
the air
14:01
wait where are you wanting or
14:03
believing that something that you want
14:06
should not require
14:08
experiencing the
14:11
challenge the that are inherent
14:13
to that role or experience
14:15
whether that's as an entrepreneur as someone numb
14:18
in august or whether that's as the ceo
14:20
of a fortune five hundred company and i'm
14:23
monogamous you know mother
14:25
of seven or whatever
14:27
like whatever your identity is what are your experiences
14:29
where are you making this error where
14:32
are you thinking that the
14:34
any experience identity for
14:37
role should be the
14:39
the parts of it you like not
14:42
the parts that are insurance that experience
14:44
that are challenging and then where are you for
14:47
extra credits making those normal
14:49
inherent challenges mean
14:51
something about yourself and your own capacity
14:54
to do that things have that all
14:56
had that experience it's
14:59
normal to have variations of
15:01
this how does but you don't have to make it mean
15:03
anything about your own capability
15:05
you don't they get mean that you're doing it wrong
15:07
that there's something wrong with you that's
15:09
what really your way
15:11
in the at
15:13
it mexicans
15:15
they'll hunt down some internal inherent
15:17
contradictions the entrepreneurial
15:19
delusion non ,
15:21
delusion or your own personal
15:24
version of the still is and you
15:26
will be shocked to see what to see it
15:28
makes to just understand
15:30
and acknowledge that this experience
15:32
or role or life or person you want
15:34
to be whatever it is
15:36
that the challenges it presents are inherent
15:39
the experience and are normal
15:41
and taught me that anything has got it
