In this episode he explains why most productivity problems are actually alignment problems, how to discover your imprint (the childhood event that shapes your life's direction), why purpose is built not found, and what AI disruption means for people who have built their identity on knowledge-based skills.</p><p><br></p><p>Key Takeaways</p><p><br></p><p>- Your imprint is formed between ages 2 and 6. It stays for life. Discovering it changes everything.</p><p>- We are educated to make a living, not to live our lives.</p><p>- In the AI era, only neurodivergent people and people with purpose will thrive.</p><p>- Purpose is not found.
