Speaker 1:

Why is resilience so important, and especially in 2024? Okay, well, here's six bold predictions for 2024. Okay, I hope that you have pen and paper or pencil or marker or a lip liner or eyeliner, or whatever you use to write your notes with ready, because these are things that you're gonna need to pay attention to. Okay, so here's six predictions for 2024. Number one more economic volatility. Okay, more economic volatility. Obviously, there's a shifting economic landscape. What was the case all last year? We talked about it in the very beginning of last year, literally a year ago, that it would continue, and it did continue, and we predict that that's gonna continue to happen. Shay and I, we are connected with individuals that have a very good understanding of macro and microeconomics and really with a clear understanding of lead and lag indicators, and the reality is is that, no matter what, there's likely gonna be some volatility? Okay, we're gonna talk about that here again in a second, but here's a big one tech disruptions. Okay, so, tech disruptions will continue.

Speaker 1:

Ai, though it is not a new thing. It became all the rage last year. If you think about it, even Google is like an AI tool, and so the reality is is that's when? Something we've been using for a very long time. So AI has been around for a while. It's just getting more complex as the days go by. There's gonna be so much more tech disruption this year than there was last year because of artificial intelligence, and so the reality is is that we have to understand how to leverage a lot of these things and at the same time in this year 2024, we're gonna need to be quick to adapt. So the reality is, too, is you know, shay and I are less concerned about individuals losing jobs against AI per se, but what we're starting to see happen is there's individuals that are leveraging AI to become even better at what they do, and people are gonna be losing jobs to other people who are leveraging AI, and we're already seeing this. So super, super important, there's gonna be more and more tech disruption than ever this year.

Speaker 1:

But let me give you something that the futurists are saying, so that you kind of understand the speed at which things are speeding up. I mean massive acceleration. Right now, futurists are saying in the next three years, we're gonna experience the equivalent to what we experienced in the last 30 years in terms of technological advancement, also in evolution and consciousness too. So understand that what we saw last year in terms of AI is gonna be even more amped up this year, even more amped up this year. So that's number two. Number three global conflicts. We saw it start to come onto the center stage in 2023. Likely that that's gonna happen even more so, unfortunately, in 2024, it is what it is, and so the reality is there's gonna be a very shifting geopolitical landscape and overall changes in the world are gonna be increasing beyond what it was in previous years, and these are things that we have to keep in mind. I'm gonna bring it all together here in a moment, so hang with me. So number four more social political divide.

Speaker 1:

This is an election year in the United States of America. Anyone who is saying that they're not concerned about that, they're clearly an ostrich with their head in the sand, the old adage. What's the problem with having your head in the sand? Well, that means you're on your knees, so think about that. That does not mean that any individual should be tapping into fear. We're gonna talk about that in a moment, but you do need to be aware. So many, many one of my mentors, many, many years ago, said something really profound to me, said listen, it's a paradox you wanna be globally aware but at the same time, don't plug into all of the, especially the fear porn that's out there. But what you do need to do is be globally aware so that you have an idea globally of what's happening, the macro of what's happening, but act locally. So be globally aware, globally conscious, but act locally, whatever that means to you inside your sphere. So if there's a social political divide this year, then that probably means that fear is gonna be amped up at an all-time high, especially in all the mainstream media and in social media.

Speaker 1:

And speaking of number five, the misinformation epidemic. So the reality is is there's gonna be a lot of misinformation. Let's go back to AI, a lot of tech disruption. So so, um, oh man, the things that are already happening with AI and technology is crazy, and imagine what kind of information is going to come out that they can. You know, you've probably seen the software where it can literally fully replicate somebody's voice and what that's going to mean in terms of deep fake technology and individuals doing smear campaigns, tearing each other's individuals down. You can't believe everything you see in terms of pictures, in terms of sounds, etc. And that's going to be very interesting and it's going to amp up even more, so the misinformation epidemic is going to come up even more.

Speaker 1:

Also, with AI, you have a lot of individuals that are jumping on the bandwagon. We have seen more in the last couple of years 24-hour coaches or overnight coaches than we have ever seen before. What's concerning about that, shane? I have been in the coaching business, in the mindset business, with no side hustle, for 15 years I myself 30 years, having actually helped people break through things and get through to the next level and because of the invention of AI and ChatGPT, you have individuals that really have no pedigree, they have no experience and they have no business coaching other people who, within a snap, with the help of ChatGPT, they can make their marketing sound good, but the reality is you get in front of that person. It's going to be clear that the experience isn't there, so you have to be super careful where you're getting information from. You're also going to have to be super careful about the information that's on social media. So misinformation about politics, misinformation about global conflicts, misinformation about AI misinformation because there's all this information, so there's going to be information overload as well. So that's number five.

Speaker 1:

Now, real quick, before getting to number six Jim Rohn said it best when he said every day, stand guard at the door of your mind and you decide what goes into your mental factory. Don't let anybody just dump anything they want to in your mental factory. This is super, super, super important. You need to stand guard at the door of your mind, especially in a year like right now. Especially during a time like right now, it is more important than ever for individuals to start to make sure that they're putting into their mental factory something that's good, something that's healthy, something that's in alignment with what's important to them. This is so important, and this year is going to be more important than ever. So, finally, number six mental health challenges.
