Welcome to another deep dive. Today we're heading over to Japan.
We're gonna peek into the world of this really fascinating influencer.
We got a translated excerpt of her podcast and let me tell you, her energy is contagious.
Even through a language barrier. It's pretty amazing.
What strikes me is how she just blends traditional self-improvement
with this really tech-savvy, almost futuristic approach.
It's a very unique perspective.
She kicks off the podcast talking about having her best day ever
and how important daily reflection is.
But then she goes on about how automating a system in her messaging app
made that day so fantastic.
I love that detail.
It shows how she sees practical victories as fuel for her larger creative goals.
It's not just about big wins.
It's recognizing those small steps forward.
Totally. And then she talks about this workshop she went to
all about using a trance state to manifest goals.
It's like she's taking this ancient concept of visualization
and she's turbocharging it with this modern tech-infused lifestyle.
Exactly. And most people are familiar with visualization.
But her description of this image ball exercise is fascinating.
Oh, yeah.
It's not just about picturing your goals.
It's about taking this ball of energy
and imbuing it with the emotions and sensations tied to achieving them.
She even talks about squeezing it.
Really?
Almost like she's physically interacting with her goals.
Wow.
It's very tactile, almost a kinetic approach to something
that's usually considered purely mental.
What I find really fascinating here
is this seems to reflect a cultural nuance.
OK.
In Japan, there's a strong emphasis on harmony and balance.
Even in the spiritual realm.
OK.
This image ball technique could be a way of bridging that gap
between the physical and mental.
Interesting.
Bringing her goals into a more tangible reality.
That's a really interesting observation.
Yeah.
It's like she's grounding these kind of ethereal aspirations in something.
Right.
She can literally hold on to.
And it connects to another key takeaway.
OK.
The importance of action.
She doesn't just dream about her goals.
Yeah.
She makes decisions quickly.
And takes bold steps to achieve them.
Like that story about deciding to move in with her partner.
Oh, yeah. What about that?
It sounds very spontaneous.
Yeah.
And she even says, didn't I do well?
Like a hint of pride.
She jumps in.
Yeah.
She trusts her intuition.
This is where we see the classic bias towards action.
OK.
That so many successful entrepreneurs have.
She doesn't overthink.
Right.
She takes a leap of faith.
Yeah.
Figures things out along the way.
It's a refreshing contrast to that analysis paralysis.
Totally.
That holds so many people back.
And speaking of action, this influencer is all about using technology.
03:02
Yes.
To streamline her creative process.
Of course.
She mentions using chat GPT.
OK.
Not just in like a passing way.
It sounds like it's an integral part of her workflow.
This is where we see her blend the traditional with the cutting edge.
Yeah.
She's taking these self-improvement principles.
And amplifying them with AI.
Right.
It's not about replacing human effort.
Yeah.
It's about leveraging technology.
Totally.
To make that effort more focused.
Right.
And effective.
She even had this funny anecdote about getting frustrated with traditional search engines.
What happened?
They couldn't answer her very specific question about automating something in line.
Oh, wow.
Which is a popular messaging app in Japan.
Right.
Chat GPT came to the rescue and gave her a solution.
Nice.
It really highlights how these AI tools are evolving.
Yeah.
They're becoming problem solvers.
For sure.
Creative partners.
Even virtual assistants.
Wow.
That can handle those tedious tasks.
Yeah.
That drain our energy and time.
Totally.
So she's using AI to free up more mental space.
Right.
For those big picture goals and creative pursuits.
Makes sense.
Speaking of creative pursuits.
She mentioned reading a book about the band, Creep Hype.
Oh, cool.
It wasn't just a casual mention either.
She seemed really struck by their dedication.
Okay.
And the sheer amount of passion they poured into their music.
What's interesting here is that she's not just admiring their talent.
Right.
She's drawing a parallel to her own creative process.
Yeah.
It's about recognizing that success comes from that dedication and willingness to put in the work.
Yeah.
Even when it's hard.
Yeah.
It's like she sees that commitment as the key.
Right.
To unlocking that flow state where creativity just flourishes.
And she's not alone in this.
Right.
The book uses the example of a sculptor.
Okay.
Who dedicates his most productive hours each day to his art.
Interesting.
He shuts out the world.
Wow.
To fully immerse himself in his craft.
Makes you wonder how much more we could achieve.
Right.
If we were more intentional.
Yeah.
With our time and energy.
Absolutely.
It's about prioritizing.
The activities that light us up.
And then fiercely protecting that time and space.
Yes.
Now this next part is where things get really meta.
Okay.
She starts talking about potentially changing the format of her podcast.
Okay.
You can almost hear the wheels turning as she brainstorms different ideas.
I love how this seemingly mundane discussion.
Right.
Reveals this core aspect of her creative process.
What is it?
Willingness to experiment and adapt.
Yeah.
She's achieved success with her current format.
Right.
But she's not afraid to shake things up.
Yeah.
Try something new.
She even talks about potentially starting a YouTube channel.
Really.
Which is a whole other beast.
It shows she's not just comfortable with change.
She actively seeks it out.
That speaks to her entrepreneurial spirit.
Yeah.
She gets that stagnation is the enemy of growth.
06:03
Right.
Especially in the online content world.
Yeah.
She's constantly looking to evolve.
Reach new audiences.
Right.
Push her boundaries.
And she's not making these decisions in a vacuum.
No.
She's actively soliciting feedback from her listeners.
Oh, wow.
Recognizing that their input is so valuable.
This is such an important point.
Yeah.
Too often we think we have all the answers.
Right.
True creativity thrives on collaboration and feedback.
Being open to new ideas.
It's like she's saying, hey, I'm on this journey.
Right.
And I want you to come along.
Yeah.
It's a very inclusive approach.
I agree.
And I think that's a big part of her appeal.
Absolutely.
It fosters a sense of community.
Yeah.
And shared ownership.
So we've covered a lot of ground.
We have.
From celebrating small wins.
To harnessing the power of AI.
Yeah.
To embracing change.
It's clear that this influencer.

Both creatively and personally.
And what's remarkable is that she does it.
Yeah.
With this infectious energy and enthusiasm.
It's like she's genuinely excited.
About life and all its possibilities.
And that's something we can all learn from.
Yeah.
It's about approaching challenges with a sense of optimism.
Uh-huh.
And a willingness to experiment and learn.
It's about cultivating that childlike wonder.
Yeah.
That can sometimes get lost.
Right.
In the hustle and bustle of adult life.
So as we wrap up this deep dive.
OK.
What resonated with you most?
That's a great question.
What's one takeaway you can apply to your own life?
There's so much here.
Yeah.
But I think it's the reminder that success isn't a destination.
Right.
It's a journey.
It's about embracing the process.
Yeah.
Celebrating the small wins.
Right.
And constantly seeking ways to learn and grow.
I love that.
It's about finding joy in the journey.
Exactly.
Not just the end goal.
And recognizing we don't have to do it alone.
Yeah.
We can draw inspiration from others.
Seek guidance from mentors.
Right.
Collaborate with our peers.
Yeah.
The journey is always richer when shared with others.
It's like she's giving us permission.
Right.
To let go of that pressure.
Yeah.
To have it all figured out.
Yeah.
And just enjoy the ride.
And to remember that it's OK to stumble.
Yeah.
To make mistakes.
Right.
To course correct.
I know you're probably thinking,
OK, this is all inspiring,
but how do I put this into practice?
That's the million dollar question.
Right.
Let's take some of these abstract ideas.
Yeah.
And ground them in concrete actions.
OK, let's start with those small wins.
OK.
I know it sounds simple.
Yeah.
But think about something you accomplished today.
Yeah.
Even something small.
Right.
Did you finally clear out your inbox?
Mm-hmm.
Did you cook a delicious meal?
OK.
Did you make time for a walk?
Yeah.
Whatever it is, take a moment to acknowledge it.
Right.
Write it down.

Right.
Even when life feels chaotic.
Speaking of progress.

Let's talk about the image ball exercise.
It's such a vivid way to visualize your goals.
Have you ever tried anything like that?
I have, and it's surprisingly powerful.
Yeah.
What I love is that it goes beyond just a mental picture.
It's about engaging all your senses.
Yeah.
Imbuing that ball of energy with the emotions, the sensations.
Yes.
The very essence of achieving your goal.
She talks about squeezing it.
Yes.
Feeling its weight.
Yeah.
Almost like a physical object.
It bridges that gap.
It does.
Between the mental and the physical.
And I think that's key.
Right.
Making your goals feel more tangible.
More real.
So if you're intrigued.
Yeah.
Why not give it a try?
Close your eyes.

Start infusing it with all those details.
Of your desired outcome.

Go for it.
The more you personalize this.
Right.
The more powerful it becomes.

bold steps.

Right.
Could be sending that email.
Making that phone call.
Or spending 15 minutes on that project.
That you've been neglecting.
The key is to break down those big goals.
Into smaller steps.
Because momentum breeds momentum.
Once you start taking action.
Right.
Even in small ways.
It becomes easier to move forward.
And speaking of tools that help us move forward.
