Master the skills that change lives — enroll in your free human behavior course today: https://nci.university/learn This video was not originally made for YouTube. It was a one-hour closed-door training I delivered to NCI Graduate School — our private live mastermind group inside NCI University, where I personally meet with advanced members every week. I almost didn’t upload it. But after sitting with the material, I realized something: this isn’t just useful — it’s foundational. And it felt wrong to keep it gated. What you’re about to watch explains why most people’s futures stop changing — not because of motivation, discipline, or willpower, but because the brain quietly locks in a prediction about who you are and begins selecting your future automatically. This session breaks down: • how identity functions as a forecast • why effort alone rarely creates lasting change • how the brain “funds” one future while filtering out others • and how a shift in predicted identity reorganizes behavior, perception, and opportunity without force Nothing here requires belief. Nothing here violates neuroscience. This is about prediction, identity, and how the nervous system actually works. If parts of this feel strangely familiar — like something you’ve always sensed but never had language for — that’s not an accident. This material was designed for people who are ready to understand what’s already running, not chase surface-level change. Take your time with it. Don’t multitask. And notice what starts to feel different afterward.

Chase, I am an older man (70 years young), and I feel I have been working up to this day, January 1, 2026, the past several weeks BY WATCHING THIS VIDEO!!! You have no idea how watching this video is making me feel right now. I am actually crying while typing this and watching the above video. This is so timely happening for me now. 😢

This is dead on. I used to be homeless and today I am writing this comment from my sofa thinking about all of my accomplishments since I got into the very mindset described in this video. Today I AM living my dream and just 10 years ago I was in a place of hopelessness where all seemed to be lost.

From body language expert to mental health philanthropist and sage. I don’t say that tongue in cheek, either. Most YouTubers seem to be fueled by maximizing views. But your expertise on body language and psychology bring plenty of those, as is. But this… this feels like a gift you’re giving to humanity. Meditations and self help are abundant. But coming from someone actually educated to speak on it, that’s a gift. No clickbait, no ego, just a gift to those that listen.

I broke free from this. My past doesn't define me and I am completely changing my life. Zero expectations. No need for answers. No desire. Just flow.

I’m 62 and have been feeling this for more than a decade, but never heard it articulated in such an understandable and relatable manner. This is pure gold.

I used to struggle with anxiety, bad. So much so that sometimes I couldn’t breath or speak. Then one day i finally realized it was where I was focusing my attention and what I was letting myself think about. And in that moment my anxiety dissipated almost instantly. A few days later an experience came up that would normally credit anxiety but I was able to catch it and redirect my energy. As I did that I caught my brain scanning memories that, in the past, had created the feeling of anxiety. I felt like my brain was so used to that set thought program and the resulting emotional response when my reality didn’t create anxiety my brain went searching for it in memories. I don’t know if any of that made sense but it was eye opening for me.

We are reading the comments and this seems to be working for lots of people 😊. Guess we just aren't intelligent enough to grasp it. We will keep watching the video over and over again. Anyone in the same boat?
