In this episode of Chris Beane gets real about failure—and why it’s the clearest sign that you’re actually on the right path. Using the powerful metaphor of the comfort zone as life’s “snooze button,” Chris challenges you to stop playing it safe and start embracing the struggles, setbacks, and stumbles that come with real growth.

Failure isn’t the end. It’s feedback. It’s proof that you’re stretching, evolving, and moving forward. In this raw and motivating conversation, Chris breaks down how to reframe failure, why success is built on more losses than wins, and how to keep rising every time life knocks you down.

If you’ve been playing small, avoiding risk, or letting fear of failure hold you back, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need to fail forward with courage and purpose.

Lately, I’ve been questioning the idea that “you are not your thoughts.” In today’s video, I dive into the three layers of our mind: the conscious mind (the always-active thinker), the subconscious mind (where our habits, beliefs, and automatic responses reside), and introduce the self-mind—the true observer that sits between the two.

In This Video, You’ll Learn:
• How the conscious mind continuously analyzes and reacts, often without our full control.
• The role of the subconscious in shaping our habits, beliefs, and basic programming.
• What I call the self-mind—the inner observer that decides which thoughts truly define us.
• How understanding these layers can empower you to reclaim control over your identity.
• A challenge to question your thoughts and choose who you want to be.

Lately, I’ve been pondering a question: Why are so many of the great thinkers from history, and where are the great thinkers today? In this video, I share my ideas on how our modern lifestyle—bombarded by constant information, endless scrolling, and the lure of quick amusement—can hinder deep, creative thinking. I compare the rich, reflective past of ancient thinkers (who gazed at the stars and wrote in books) to our present-day habit of chasing dopamine hits from our screens. And I challenge you to put your phone down, take a moment to think, and reclaim your capacity for deep thought.

In This Video, You’ll Discover:
• The contrast between ancient amusement (deep pondering) and today’s superficial distractions.
• How constant connectivity and the rise of AI may be limiting our creative potential.
• Why “amusement” today often means not thinking at all—and why that matters.
• A personal challenge: carve out time to sit quietly, reflect, and let your own great ideas shine.
