Dr. Noah St. John Thanks, Gloria. Great to be here. Gloria Grace Rand I love asking our guests a little bit about their background and the one thing that when we connected at a publicity summit a while ago and when you mentioned that you were the father of Afformations, which is different from affirmations, which people may have heard about before, I was intrigued and wondering, what is the difference? So how did you become known as that and what do you mean by that? Dr. Noah St. John Well, I'll answer that in two parts, if I may. So I'll give you the quick story of how I became the father of Afformations. So I grew up poor in a rich neighborhood, and I know that's a total cliche, but it's totally true. I grew up in a little town called Kennebunkport, Maine, which is one of the wealthiest communities in New England. But my family was dirt poor, and I mean that literally because we lived at the bottom of a dirt road in a drafty unfinished home that my parents ended up losing to foreclosure when I was just 15 years old. So from a very young age, I was painfully exposed to the gap, the chasm between the haves and the have nots. The haves was everyone else in the community, and the have nots was my family. Now you hear these motivational speakers, they get on stage and we've all heard them and they say, well, we were poor, but we were happy. We didn't know we were poor. Well, in my family, we freaking knew we were poor because my mother, bless her heart, reminded us every day that we were poor and miserable. So, Noah wasn't happy. It sucked. And so I hated that life of poverty. I hated being poor because I saw that right down the street there's great wealth and abundance. So literally, from the time I was a young kid, I said, how the heck do I get from here to there? And of course, there was no one who could answer that question. This was long before the Internet or anything like that. So I did the only thing I could think of to do, which is I went to the library and started reading every book. I read every book that I could on personal growth and self-help, all the classics, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Stephen Covey. I read every book that I could, and I really tried to apply them. I tried to work hard to be more successful. The problem was I couldn't get it to work. And so at the age of 25, I decided to commit suicide because I was so frustrated and depressed and lonely and broke. And at the very last minute, my life was spared, but I didn't know why. And so I went on another long journey to find what is my purpose here on the Earth? Why am I still here? And it wasn't until five years after that experience that I actually had the discovery that led to me becoming the father of Afformations. So you can see, it was a long and winding road that actually caused me to end up where I am today. And all these years later, we've helped our clients in over 120 countries to, you know, add over $2 billion in found revenues as a result of using my method. So I wanted to give you that first, and then we could talk about my afformations method. Gloria Grace Rand Okay, well, let's just dive into that now. Let's talk about that first, and then I definitely want to ask you a little bit more about head trash. Dr. Noah St. John absolutely. Okay, so everybody listening to this program knows what an affirmation is, right? An affirmation is what the gurus have been teaching for decades, right? And as an executive coach, a business coach, I'm also a keynote speaker, so I get to speak at conferences and events all around the country and around the world. And one of the things I like to do at my keynote speech is I like to ask everybody in the audience, I say, okay, everybody, we're going to play a game. And everybody say an affirmation, just like those guys taught us. And everybody say, I am rich. And everybody goes, I am rich. You know what happens next? Everyone starts laughing. And I go, what are you laughing at? And I go, well, I'm not rich. And I say, but you just said you were. And they go, yeah, but I don't believe it. See, isn't that the problem with that old method, right, with the old way of doing it, right? We say these positive statements. We want to believe it, but we just don't believe it most of the time. In fact, did you know that a study was actually done on this very topic? And it actually showed scientifically that the old way, the old affirmations way only works for 25% of the people. It only works 25% of the time. So imagine if you had a smartphone that only worked one out of four times. Yeah, you'd probably trade it in for a better phone, wouldn't you? Right? Gloria Grace Rand Absolutely. Yeah. Dr. Noah St. John So that's what I did. I invented a better phone, right? A better way of using your brain. And so this was actually April 20, 1997, and I was in the shower, and in fact, in my books and my programs, I call it The Shower that Changed Everything, because I literally had that a-ha moment in the shower, which probably everybody's listening has had that right? You have those a-ha moments. Well, this was the shower that changed everything for me and now for over a million people around the world who use my Afformations method. So I was thinking about this very topic. How come I've been using these affirmations? I read all those books, they all say the same thing. How come I've been doing exactly what they said and it's not working? Right? Because I had all these statements just like they tell you: I'm happy, I'm rich, I'm successful. And the reality was, no, I'm not. I'm broke, unhappy and miserable, right? So what the heck is going on here? So I started to think about, well, what are we really talking about? We're talking about beliefs. But what's a belief? Well, a belief is just a thought. And then I said, well, what is human thought? And I realized that human thought is the process of asking and searching for answers to questions. Not statements, but questions. In fact, I can prove this to you. I can prove to everyone watching the program. All right now, if I ask you a question, I want you to see what happens. Why is the sky blue? Why is the sky blue? Now, what just happened in your brain? Your brain started to search for the answer, right? Gloria Grace Rand Right. Yes. Dr. Noah St. John ...
