This weekend, I started putting the finishing touches on our upcoming Udemy course's trailer - which is turning out to be some of the best production work I've ever done. The majority of the trailer consists of CGI and motion-based graphics, and I'm super excited to share the final product with all of you.

In the meantime, however, check out a screenshot from the trailer's introduction - which features scenes with space exploration, cellular reproduction, and atoms. The whole thing has turned into a really cool collection of science-based imagery; all of you are going to absolutely love it :)!!!

Once this video is wrapped up, all I need to do is finish up some other marketing work. Then, the course will be ready for Udemy's internal review process and FINAL RELEASE!

What does that mean? It means that you'll be able to enroll in the class VERY soon. So, keep an eye out on our pages for more information and a finalized RELEASE DATE!

Also, we continue to grow at an unprecedented rate, and I'm beyond grateful for all of your support. Seriously, the love that all of you have been showing us means the world to me, and I'm honored to have an opportunity to share my experiences with all of you.

Thus, to show my appreciation, I'll be offering an exclusive, limited discount to our members for the course. It's going to be 20% off the original price and will be available at launch. So, if you want to take advantage of these savings, make sure you check back often for updates and release information!

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and charge full-speed ahead in forging the best version of yourself possible!

Udemy Course Image

4/1/2017

Over the past few weeks, I've been working with a few graphic designers, trying to develop our upcoming Udemy course's thumbnail. After going through a ton of different options and iterations, I think we'll be using the thumbnail attached to this post. So, check it out, and let us know what you think :)!

Unfortunately, Udemy enforces a ton of course image restrictions, which prevent me from realizing my full vision. However, I like what we've developed here. Of those restrictions, there is to be absolutely no text in the image, and it's supposed to convey its message through artistic means only.

In this course, my central goal is to encourage students to explore the universe's underlying laws/framework, experience the beauty inherent in it, and then use their discoveries to develop real-world applications. That's why the thumbnail features an astronaut drifting through space (ie the unknown) and reveling in the beauty around him/her.

However, the astronaut isn't content with simply observing the universe's mysteries. Instead, he chooses to peer beneath the surface of reality and understand what drives these mysterious phenomena to act as they do. That's what the notepad/pen/calculator symbolize; they capture his exploration of the underlying math/physics and innate curiosity.

Finally, the last component of the course involves employing knowledge to make a difference. Most people assert that knowledge is power, but, in actuality, ACTIONABLE knowledge is the true source of power.

To convey this principle, the astronaut is developing MATLAB simulations to capture his observations. In the course, we'll be developing the same simulations powering physics engines in your favorite video games and animated movies (super cool stuff!). While the course's content can be utilized in a ton of applications, MATLAB simulations will be the main focus here. My hope is that this alone will inspire students to reach out and use their skills to make a difference.

So, this is the course image we'll most likely be using; check it out, and let us know what you think :)! Also, keep your eyes peeled for the launch of our course, which should be coming very soon!

Thanks so much for all of your continued support; it seriously means the world to me. On a daily basis, our YouTube subscriber list continues to grow, and our most popular video has now reached 10,700 views! It's absolutely amazing that we're also getting ~20,500+ minutes watched every month! I'm so glad that our efforts have been helping so many students and curious individuals reach their goals and make a difference!

"When you were a little kid, you loved to play; that's your natural state!"

Remember when you were a little kid? Do you recall what it felt like to be a blank, unhindered slate - an empty book waiting to be written? Well, back in those days, you were the sole director of your life; your inner voice drowned out your fears and followed your personal values:

***Every aspect of the world was intriguing and worth exploring***

***Each day was an adventure filled with endless laughter and inspiration***

***Insecurities and inhibitions were foreign concepts***

***Appreciating the present moment came naturally without any effort; you were the definition of perpetual engagement***

Well, over the past few months while developing a NEW PHYSICS COURSE for all of you, I've been rediscovering what it means to be a kid - a being whose entire existence flows naturally into the external world:

***Revisiting old material awakened my inner curiosity and inquisitive nature. It reminded me of this world's endless beauty and rekindled the same excitement this material once evoked***

***The process encouraged exploration and allowed me to dig deeper into the universe's most puzzling questions***

***It became an expression of love and an opportunity to play both with these concepts and my own knowledge - a chance to have unrestricted fun!****

As I begin to shoot some final footage for the course, I'm beginning to realize how EXCITED I am to share this work with all of you :)!!! Like most of my YouTube videos, the course is not only informative but filled with unparalleled exuberance and excitement; it's no different than watching a kid play in his/her natural state.

If you love exploring the universe and searching for truth, then this is a course made specifically for you, and all of you are going to have a ton of fun digesting it!!! Science and math are both intrinsically captivating, and this course is really going to help make that reality come alive. I hope that it'll be a lifelong asset for all of you, as you satiate your hunger for truth and knowledge.

Here are just a few features that are currently implemented:
-15+ hours of video content overflowing with excitement and inspiration
- ~5 walkthroughs on how to develop and utilize real-world simulations
-Intriguing problem sets at the end of each course section

I can't wait to get this out to all of you and share my love with the world. Again, thanks SO MUCH for the support you've been showing us over the past few months (seriously, it's INCREDIBLE!). Having the opportunity to help all of you learn seriously means the world to me, and I'm honored to be able to touch so many peoples' lives.

So, stay tuned for more information on the course; more details are sure to follow within the coming months! I hope you all have a great weekend; take care, and continue to chase your dreams as if your life depends on it!!! Why, you ask? Because it literally does; its the journey that bears the greatest fruits in life :)!

Motivation - What is Your Purpose?

9/2/2016

1 Comment

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?

Well, regardless of what you're told to believe, "the true purpose of life is that there is no purpose"; you were meant to find or define it as life progresses. Furthermore, the purpose you craft for yourself ultimately becomes your life's main focus - that path we all personally pave and must walk. In essence, we are the sole creators of our realities and, hence, hold full responsibility for every outcome.

That's why I always emphasize the importance of crafting your own reality - the reality that YOU want to live. Remember, our external realities are nothing more than a reflection of our inner words, thoughts, and yearnings. So, you must always strive to act in alignment with your values, purpose, and what you truly want; that decision alone impacts how all actions pan out in your life.

Recently, I've been developing a full-blown physics course which I'm super excited to share with all of you. This course is going to include 10+ hours of video content (still recording :)!!!!), simulations of reality, practice problems, quizzes, and the opportunity to interact 1-on-1 with me. That's partially why I've been somewhat absent from The Kaizen Effect, but I've actually never been more active; things have just been going on behind the scenes.

Ever since I was a child, I knew that my purpose was to discover the limits of this universe and disseminate that knowledge throughout the world. That's why I started The Kaizen Effect - to help everyone become the best version of themselves they could possibly be. Nothing is quite as gratifying as both the attainment and utilization of knowledge, and I can't wait to share that enthusiasm, love, and energy with all of you in this course :). So, stay tuned; a lot of awesome stuff will be coming soon!

Also, I'd like to THANK ALL OF YOU for the love I've been seeing on my YouTube physics videos. It seems as though these videos have helped so many people learn a ton of awesome concepts, and nothing makes me happier than that!!! So, again, thanks soooo much for the love, and I'm ALWAYS available for any questions / help you guys need. Take care, and have an awesome, productive weekend :D!!!!

If you've been following our videos, you've probably heard us consistently assert that our external worlds are a reflection of our internal realities. So, if you want to improve your external circumstances, you must first work to rectify your inner framework - the internal system that supports everything you do.

Depending on the thoughts banging around your head, your mind will be magnetized to attract certain situations into your life, and this will ultimately affect that inner framework which supports your endeavors. So, it's important to ensure that your thoughts attract the influences you actually desire - that you magnetize your mind properly. This is accomplished by drenching your entirety in the beliefs you personally desire and influences which make a difference. Remember, life doesn't give you what you want; it gives you what you ARE. And what you are is a reflection of what you fill your mind with. If you want to improve your internal reality, you must conscientiously feed your mind the key ingredients essential for growth and success.

So, to help you all take advantage of this principle and skyrocket your results, I've started a new Facebook group, which you can find at the link below. Also, the Community link in the navigation bar above will now lead you to the group. In this group, I'm going to be sharing a lot more content, and I hope that everyone can share their own personal journey towards greatness - in hopes of encouraging mutual growth. When it comes down to it, our minds are like sponges; they'll soak up whatever they're surrounded by. So, let's soak them up with positivity, great information, wisdom, and the motivation to make our dreams a reality.

If you are serious about making long-lasting and meaningful change, I invite you all to take part in our community. Join in at the link below, introduce yourself, and take advantage of this principle :D!! I look forward to working with you all and paving a track record of excellence as a team!
