Mindstate Course
The frameworks I developed as Google's first Chief Innovation Evangelist and teach at Stanford University.
Because the way you see tomorrow shapes how you live today.

Instant access. 30-day course window.
You open your laptop on Monday morning. The same inbox, the same meetings, the same projects. Nothing is wrong. Everything is fine. And that is exactly the problem. Fine is not a future. Fine is a holding pattern.
I built this practice for moments like that. Not a crisis. A readiness. The sense that something new needs to begin, and you already know it.
Skills fade. Mindstates compound.
What you'll gain
What changes in eight mornings
Not more information to manage. A handful of practices that quietly shift how you meet whatever comes next.
See how you meet uncertainty
Notice where you wait, where you freeze, and where you play it safe. Naming the pattern is where the change starts.
Practice one shift a morning
Optimism, openness, curiosity, experimentation, empathy, and your own Dimension X. One a day, in about twenty minutes.
Keep the practice for good
A downloadable playbook and daily rituals you come back to long after Day 8, with 30-day access to revisit anytime.
Day 1
“I know I should think bigger, but I don't know where to start.”
“Uncertainty makes me freeze. I wait until I feel ready.”
“I react to the future instead of shaping it.”
Day 8
“I run small experiments daily. I don't wait for permission to create.”
“Uncertainty is where I do my best work now.”
“I have a practice. Six dimensions I work with every day.”
This is for you, if
- You believe the future is something you create, not something that happens to you.
- You are done collecting information and ready to start experimenting.
- You want the practice I built at Google and teach at Stanford. In your morning. From within.

Your Journey
Day By Day
Day 0: Try this now
Replace every “but” with “and”
In your next conversation, swap every “but” for “and.” “I like this idea, but...” becomes “I like this idea, and...” Notice how the energy of the conversation shifts when you stop closing doors and start opening them.
This is Day 2 of the course. There are seven more shifts like this.
Eight days, self-paced
Start tomorrow morning.
Begin Day 1 the moment you join. About twenty minutes a morning, one dimension at a time.
