06:32 – The Power of Story: Introducing “The Clones”

How storytelling helps us understand life and possibility
The story of Jenny, Jill, and Josie – three identical clones with drastically different outcomes
The only difference? Their range of belief

07:01 – Meet The Clones: Jenny, Jill & Josie

All genetically identical, same IQ, same education, same ambition
All working entry-level jobs in tech, earning $60K, wanting to build their own tech firm
The big question: How much could they increase their income?

07:57 – Jenny’s Limited Beliefs: The Power of Doubt

Sets a goal to 100X her income but starts doubting herself
Worries about making more than her friends
Writes off many business growth strategies as “impossible”
Settles for a goal of doubling her income instead

11:20 – Jill’s Expanded Possibility: A Step Further

Starts similarly to Jenny, but considers one more possibility
Learns about selling services as a product – something she could learn
This one extra possibility allows her to 10X her income to $600K

12:47 – Josie’s Unlimited Mindset: No Limits, Just Learning

Refuses to believe anything is impossible
Commits to learning everything she doesn’t yet know
Achieves her original goal: 100X increase to $6M/year

14:15 – Key Lesson: The Impact of Range of Belief

Why did the clones have different outcomes despite being identical?
Their beliefs shaped their reality – and so do yours
What’s on your list of “impossible” that’s actually possible?

15:12 – How Beliefs Shape Our Lives

How external influences like family, culture, and past failures shape beliefs
The danger of seeing failure as a stopping point instead of a guide
The role of knowledge and self-awareness in expanding belief

16:41 – How to Identify & Break Limiting Beliefs

Everyone has false beliefs holding them back
Confirmation bias: Why we unconsciously seek proof that we’re right
The social media effect: How algorithms reinforce existing beliefs

18:07 – The Problem with Limited Thinking

How outdated beliefs keep us stuck
Common myths: “Hard work guarantees success” & “Failure means stop”
The reality: Hard work + belief expansion = true success

19:36 – Why Most People Stay Stuck

Our beliefs create our life’s boundaries
The power of rewriting our mental “possible vs. impossible” list
The difference between settling for “modest improvement” vs. swinging for the fences

20:34 – Personal Reflection Exercise: Expanding Your Own Range of Belief

Choose one of the 10 Life Domains where you want change
Identify what improvement would look like
List out every possible step—then divide into “Possible” and “Impossible”
Challenge yourself: Are your “impossibles” actually just things you haven’t learned yet?

22:28 – Closing Thoughts & Call to Action

Most people never do this work, but you are different
Take the time to question what’s truly possible for you
