# If you’re serious, let’s talk! Source: https://geoffblades.com/lets-talk-if-youre-serious/ Published: 2026-01-24 Updated: 2026-02-02 Author: Geoff --- These topics are near-impossible to convey. It all sounds much the same. And even if it reads differently, it’s much the same in your brain. Because you read these things, you think it makes sense, you consume more, yet how much do you actually change? I hope more than everything this is valuable for you and others, just it’s different to what I know is actually valuable. Actually changing! ## Actually? Your brain is by far the most important variable in changing. By far… because every single thing that will ever happen in your business, career, life is happening in your brain. Every single thought. Every single feeling. Every single action is happening in your brain, and it’s way more important too. A saddest truth of this world is you can do everything right, work so hard, achieve all these things, and still live in a miserable brain. I never need to tell you this because you have a brain and you know other people with brains and you know how few are shining, happy people and how many are stuck living in a negative brain. ## Negative brain It’s never any of our fault. It’s the name of the game. Survival. You are conscious awareness of a survival machine. Because the happiest caveman smelling the roses on the plains of Africa was named… Lunch 🙂 Paranoia, fear, worry, downside, negativity, your brain is flooded with some 80,000, 80% negative thoughts a day because you best survive this way. Just, how many of us have elevated beyond survival? We’re all living in higher levels of Maslow’s pyramid yet how many of us feel this way? Even when you have tons of money and stuff and winning and survival threats are non-existent in this way, how many people have elevated above survival programming to living in a [“10 out of 10 baby!”](https://geoffblades.com/10-out-of-10-baby/) happiest brain? ## Few… Because it’s near-impossible to do. And nobody teaches you anything whatsoever about this so even the few happiest people tend to “just somehow” feel this way. Other than clients and self I’ve met few who have actually trained themselves here, especially coming from a hellish brain, and am yet to meet anyone else with an actual method for how you simply train living in your best brain. So many of us who work so hard and achieve so much deserve to feel our best, feel worse. Naturally the brain thinks, ‘Well, if only I had more X, or the world was less Y, or XYZ things were different in some way, then I would feel my best.’ Many people will live and die this way never having discovered the quality of your life is the quality of your brain. ## $trillions of fat After now 25+ years on these topics it’s 100% obviously true the absolute best thing you can do in your life is train your best brain. Like a buddy Marc teaches on mental fitness, it’s being in mental shape. And like physical fitness this has absolutely nothing to do with what you know. Nothing, literally nothing. All the knowledge in the world on being in shape means nothing if you can’t actually get yourself doing the two obvious things, eating and exercising right. In about 3 weeks gyms will be clearing out again from all the people quitting their resolutions because our world sells them trillions dollars of noise on being in shape instead of teaching them the one and only thing that matters is getting this locked into your brain. Self-help books. Podcasts. Motivational videos. Retreats. Articles. Quotes, much the same. Trillions of hours information everywhere adds up to zero transformation and worse lives is what remain. ## Transforming Had a call this week with a former Wall Street colleague and buddy. It was another reminder how much I’ve failed serving people “trying” to convey these things. He’s been reading this for years yet he’s struggling in his business, struggling in his brain, struggling with his wife who is struggling in her brain, whose kids are struggling in their brains. But then, just one conversation and he’s off on a new trajectory! More than everything I want to live in our best world and I’ll keep trying my best to convey these things. Just, like being in your best shape it’s entirely irrelevant what I say and you know, only what is [wired and fired in your brain](https://geoffblades.com/raising-your-highline/). ## Let’s talk! Everywhere you see blind leading blind like “doctors” putting 6 year-olds on ADHD meds. For the first 11 years of this work I read thousands of books wondering, ‘Where do you find the actual solutions?’ I never did. Then I trained with the best masters of change and learned why it never matters what you read only how you train your brain. That’s a reason I mostly stopped writing adding more noise to the world because all I care about is what actually serves you creating your best business, career, life, living in your best brain. If you’re serious about these things, let’s talk!
