congrats on the 100k subs! well deserved 🎉
Love you man.❤
Sir I'm a CA student along with a full time job.
How can I use the VUCA ideology to take a decision under the following circumstances :
1.How to decide on the amount of subjects to study?
2.Whether I should quit the job and study full time? (Family needs financial support from me; and my ability to generate monthly income greatly depends on progress in CA qualification)
Sir you are shaping lives of many in a positive way; may the almighty Allah bless you.
Rian, your overall pace, visuals and presentation of ideas is exquisite. You are adding so much value to Steven and the Flow concept. I have useful quote: “Be regular and orderly in your life (low vuca) so that you may be violent and original in your work (high vuka)”.
it kind of annoys me how you move only one hand around the screen, it gives the uncomfortable feeling that you have only one arm. I saw the other pictures where i see both arms, but still I get a sense of uneasiness watching you moving only your right hand around
This man drops gem after gem
Yeah but it’s the same gem every time
I appreciate that!
Yup 🎉
Yes, 💯💯🙌🙌
Thanks Rian 🙏❣️
It’s like those moments in life when everything starts going wrong and you get this simmering motivation coming out of no where, to change that dreadful situation
Your videos have changed my life. I have always had high laser-like focus at night between the hours of 5-11pm, but never really understood why, until I found your channel. Keep the videos coming! Thank you! You will hit 1 million subscribers soon! 🎉🎉🎉
1. Set the VUCA in my personal life as low as how big my professional goals are
2. VUCA is not bad, it is the same as external Flow triggers
3. VUCA only overwhelms you only when you have VUCA in all of your life's aspects
It’s hard to think when you’re overwhelmed and Don’t know where to start. Thank you for oversimplifying it so that you can excel in all the confusion.
This is so timely. I am currently overwhelmed because I think everything is important that at the end of the day, I didn't do anything. Just stuck and paralyzed. I need to reorganize and rethink of what I should remove and prioritize.
I got this channel in recommendations on yesterday and can't stop watching! I am strugling with ADHD and helped myself gain more focus and structure due scientific based podcast on youtube to practice in my daily routine and built a stable life. You are explaining these topics i watched so far so clair that everyone can cromprehend these and turn them into a daily practice. Thank you for charing these knowledge and video's 🙏
I love downhill biking because I do get in flow...I have ADHD, anxiety and OCD...but riding my bike through really risky terrain....wow....I feel so in control but I've also been doing it for awhile and know I'm pretty good at it but I can still get hurt and I know that. Challenge, skills balance is what drives me most likely. One of the best feelings is getting to the bottom of the mountain and thinking...phew...I made it and didn't wipe out...I'm awesome! It's a high!
I kinda have discovered the V.U.C.A concept some time ago while realizing how less I wanted to have a stable romantic relationship while my V.U.C.A in my professional life was low (you need to get what I thought was adrenaline from somewhere in your life).
A nice routine makes you feel grounded or might feel like a chore or be overwhelming based on the type of challenges you're facing. That's why I believe knowing how to adapt and react accordingly is important.
Very nice video! I've discovered this channel recently but I am already hooked. Thanks for sharing
I started a business 3 years ago. I realized that focusing on establishing myself i stopped caring about fashion as much as i used to. I started wearing staples that were comfortable for me. I went out this weekend with my cousin and she told me to wear something different and “try”. I started to feel as if i need to start wearing other clothing to be in “style” but after watching this I’m more worried and focused on my business that impressing others.
Unbelievable video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽
Thanks Rian - your videos are helping a lot 💚
This guy can single handily make us all more productive. Best source of information have found int this subject. Grateful 🙏
Your video is so useful and life changing, I recommend this channel to my community which I am part of. Your work is truly detailed. When I make notes of your video, it literally takes me more than hours. I applied your concept to my life and its works. Thanks a lot.
Love from India.
You're a gift from the productivity God's ✴️
In school you have plenty of Chaos and it’s good to learn how to take advantage of all this “Chaos”. Great video 🙂
Thank you!
This is an incredibly interesting video, packed with information and well presented. Kudos to the editing team behind this too. Deserves more recognition
This guys content is WAYYYY underrated.
Every topic you talk about is just incredible 🙌🏽🔥
I’d love to see a video on polyvagal theory and how regulating your nervous system helps with focus/lowering arousal
These videos are so high level, you literally have to be in flow state to understand and retain the information
i was fortunate to have Dr. C as my faculty while doing my Masters . Since then I am into flow 😊
As a fellow Irish man, this is the best content delivered with an Irish accent.
Glad this content is free.
Thank you man 🙏
My pleasure!
Very grateful. Andrew Huberman, you and some other people like you, are the main reason I didn't get depleted of my professional life yet.
Blessed by the flow 🙏
Thank you for watching!
Rian, this is awesome! Thank you. I want to add something here. Many people struggle because of an untreated adhd. Really... This is the kind of issue that can totally break you in half if you do not do anything about it. So if anyone is having a big struggle despite of trying reallly hard, it would be good to check if you have an adhd.
Most welcome,appreciate the support.
I really think majority of adhd is failing this challenge/skills balance. In other videos Rian suggests challenge should be roughly 4% higher than skills for flow.
Too much deviance causes negative symptoms which can manifest in adhd in some people. Worse, if you don't realise this is the case you will keep yoyoing between too much and too little challenge.
1. Lower your VUCA in personal life. (Make systems that are reliable and sustainable)
2. External Triggers/ VUCA are needed in your focused AREAS (Church and Work)
3. If VUCA in all of my areas are high, that leads to burnout.
Your videos are very helpful for me to understand the different states I'm in while trying to increase my own productivity!
Perfect!
Your video on caffeine was incredible. Really helped me on the days I felt unnatural struggle. I didn't take any today and still worked hard, because the struggle was high but I was able to lower it naturally by using the time variable. I will be using caffeine again. I was in the camp that caffeine is bad as that's what I was taught by a natural health book author. The only problem I encountered was forgetting the recovery phase, which I am well aware of now. Did way too much work with zero recovery. You are bringing cutting edge knowledge, while holding nothing back. The sky is the limit for you.
Very glad you found the video useful!
yeah, that's also my favorite video. can't believe it has some of the lowest views of the channel. worse for them i guess!
Fan of your work.... Literally ! I am a great.fan of mr Steven kotler's and your discoveries on flow.... Suffered all my life with ADHD thanks for reviving my hopes of getting better focus....😢
Thank you, Rian.
Hello Rian, i have seen quite a few of your videos and honestly i am very impressed. first of all thank you! your videos have bought a positive change in my life, second of all i would like to share my situation. I am a JEE aspirant and cracking it requires months of consistent effort, along with the IQ you possess ofcourse. I actually am here to request a video or niche advice for my case and around half a billion people who face things such as: Low motivation, attraction to the other gender, procastination, burn out, lack of mental strength, sometimes even mastrubation. there are a lot of issues we face but only have one reason to go ahead............you have said bits and pieces of everything above in all of your videos spread out but trust me i would be absolutely thrilled to have your advice as an expert. i have made countless plans only to relapse to my old ways.......so i know i am doing something wrong......but what exactly is i cant figure that out........
🎉 .... Chaos ... elevate.... ❤..... Impressed 👍🏼
Great material. I have one suggestion as a 41 year OLD OLD woman, watched a few of your videos and while I enjoy and learn from your messages, the visuals are sometimes too simulating and distracting.. just for me maybe but I wanted to share feedback if it matters.
Legend
Another banger! 🤯 🤩
what an absolutely fantastic video and concept
Hi Rian. Great work. Thank you very much. Just one thing about your style. If you stop for a small while between your sentences, you give your listeners some miliseconds to grasp the meanings of your words. It is not your talking fast, but it is your sentences coming on by on.
I've heard about VUCA before, but I didn't think of it as an useful concept. Yeah, we're living in times of great uncertainty now, ok I get it. But I love how you linked Flow tiggers to the concept of VUCA and the whole concept seems very practical to me now.
Your videos are so fast paced that I feel anxious seeing it. I only listen to it and don't look at it
The part about spreading chips too thin gave me an aha moment 🎉 thanks for the wisdom
My man Ryan always sharing those jewels!!! Big Up!!
Thank you!
There is chaos everywhere. As a musician both personal and professional life is on high volitility and pressure.
This video made me realise that I am putting a lot of my vouca chips into less important areas of my life because I subconsciously know that my professional life is lacking them. a compensation i was not aware of.
🔥
Advice-whenever you explain the concept please give more examples related to it,,to understand the concept easily..
Thank you,your content is very effective
Thank you.
Bro Can you a guide on how to be obsessed with your work !!
At the end the speaker suggest I "click here". I don't see a button to click. Android phone, I paid TH-cam to remove the ads and enable downloads, playing a downloaded video.
Again, we see that great sacrifice is required for great rewards.
However, with effortless action, nothing is lost.
i see that you've already reached 100k subs. you were below that just a few weeks ago. well, it's to be expected that a channel that dishes out high quality video such as these would get an increase in subs so quickly!
Thanks for watching!
Hi @Rian ,
I can t thank you enough to create and share this quality content! As it s said it s gem after gem.
You speak very fast! The number of information and keys concept delivered in 15 min is at least twice more than most of video.
Is it done on purpose to naturally selected viewers able too assimilate as much data? Like ADHD ? If yes it would smart as it auto select potential clients for your online courses. :)
Please let me know.
Thx and Congrats for your work!
Thank you for sharing your gems 💎
You are so welcome
I love simplifying my personal life, I basically only do the stuff that helps me be healthy and recharge
This reminds me of Taleb’s book Antifragile. Biological systems flourish when presented with just enough volatility from their environment
HEY BUDDY RIAN, MAN I LOVE YOUR CONTENT❤❤
I BELEIVE THAT I HAVE POOR TIME MANAGEMENT AND I SOMETIMES JUST CAN'T PUT IN EFFORT EVEN IF I WANT TO.
CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON THAT?
Its not called chaos, its called balancing high intensity focus and high intensity rest
This is great advice. Glad to have subscribed. I seriously don't think you can reach the heights of your work goals if your personal VUCA is too high e.g relationships drama, addictions, poor mental and physical health.
Very glad I found your channel 😊❤
Welcome!!
Grats on 100k 🎉 TH-cam will ship you a Silver Creator award.
Wow, thanks!
Awesome content. Thanks mate.
My pleasure!
I been saying !!!
Could you explain more about 'release' part of flow cycle?
I didn't get it properly in your videos
Very helpful for a dude who is in fight club
Yes man. I work for a bank in the AML department and there are constant changes.
1. My main job changes per case worked
2. Updates and changes to policies and procedures change daily/weekly/monthly
I am also constantly bombarded by emails, pings on teams, and requests for updates as our cases are time sensitive. I have found that many of these little distractions affect me and there have been days when I've been unable to be in flow and I get behind.
I am limited to keeping myself on do not disturb, but are there any other tips/techniques I could use to reserve my energy for my main tasks? I feel that I'm constantly pulled in every direction and I just want to work on a task until completion, then move to the next one but the interruptions cause for immediate attention
Somehwat offtopic bu in the same area of epertise: I would be interested to hear what you think about listening to music while working out? and not just casual working out but on lifting heavy where every set people tend to switch from song to song to encourage them for the next set.

Who is this guy??? Crazy knowledge
I am married with kids... I feel my Vuca is so spent on that...

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧠 *Embrace chaos, stress, and overwhelm as tools for maximizing productivity by managing arousal levels.*
01:49 🌊 *Flow state can be triggered by external factors like high consequences, risk, novelty, complexity, and unpredictability.*
03:55 🔄 *VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) can be both overwhelming and a driver of peak performance, depending on arousal management.*
05:32 🤯 *Mismanaged arousal is the key factor in whether VUCA overwhelms or propels an individual into flow.*
06:56 🎯 *The Challenge-Skills Balance is crucial for experiencing flow, where the challenge of a task aligns with an individual's skill level.*
09:15 💡 *Strategic allocation of "VUCA chips" by managing constants and variables in life helps optimize arousal levels for peak performance.*
11:34 🔄 *Compartmentalize personal and professional VUCA to match the scale of ambition, keeping personal VUCA small for big professional goals.*
13:53 ⬆ *Dial up VUCA if you're under-aroused to prevent boredom or apathy, embedding external flow triggers in the environment to enhance performance.*
Nice
Thanks
Waiting for you to get million subs
One sentence summary: "Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing" - Ron Swanson 😌
great video. but 1 question, how do i know when to transition from struggle to flow?
After doing 4 years of diploma in a different sub , ihve decided that i want to be a cybersecurity professional. ihv realized my curiosity towards this field drives me like its my passion.
After realizing everything i decided to quit my job and decided to levrage my skills. But its costing me some financial problem's as im older of my family. its also not possible to do both at the same time, i hv a long-term vision but my present situation is not in my favor.
WHAT SHOULD I DO ???? should i sacrifce my Pashion
Mr. Doris, how can i start work as soon as i wake up if i have to use my phone to start my work, for example if i want to learn a language but the primary way i learn is from using my phone how can i start as soon as i wake up but without using my phone?
Holy shit your subscribers count is skyrocketing.
plzz talk about adhd
Sir what if I need to get in flow for a certain moment and not to think of flow which according to me effects your flow satte
Can u access flow while u Watch videos at your break
I'm curious-Is there a way to increase your VUCA chips? Or at least increase your tolerance towards it? I mean with Elon, clearly, he has more chips than most and it looks like he has a really high tolerance too. Is this a character trait or is this something we can practice?
Veruka
I have a question, can you increase a number of VUCA chips?
so..put yourself in a situationwhere you are between the spade and the wall, that way you fight like a demon to get out of the situation
Yeah but I have so many things, and I can't legally drop some of them

Answer: My Bipolar Disorder
I've watched several of these videos and think I've either found some missing nuance or I'm unable to see how to apply it to my own issues.
early to bed early to rise 7 days a week with your phone on dnd
I was trying to read DnD as 'Dungeons and Dragons' instead of 'Do Not Disturb!'😅
I was like 'How does that help with flow?!’😂
Shouldn't you also take into account that socialization/time with friends helps most people to relax/destress?
As an introvert, being around people drain me and causes me more anxiety, so probably not true for all.
Dude repost your long form consulting vid haha.. that shit was 🔥
My bad it's still on the main website 😅
@@har.19 Can't Understand What You're Saying Can You Please Explain Me 😊
Jeez how many times did you change the thumbnail of the video, every time I open TH-cam is always different😨
It's a 'TH-cam thing', everyone is doing it, it's called AB testing
Thank you Rian 🙏❣️
Most welcome!
good video but could be much shorter honestly :)
Great content but ultimately this is a funnel; the paid program costs 6900 USD, and the claim that he teaches us to unlock flow state "on command" is to be taken with a grain of salt, they basically teach us to follow a schedule suited to one of half-dozen profiles so "on command" is equivalent to at "7:30 everyday for Alex" (iff following their copy-pasta protocol to the L)
Apologies in advance for the unsolicited feedback.
I'm excited about following you and finding out more about your research, etc.
However I listen to TH-cam videos like podcasts during my morning routine. So it's very distracting and thus not possible for me to listen to videos with dramatic music, or any music for that matter. Imagine if all of your podcasts had music the whole time. It would be awful.
So I humbly yet strongly recommend releasing videos without background music. I'm ready to dive in to your stuff today for the first time but I can't listen to any of your videos because they all seem to have dramatic music throughout.
I just want to hear you talk man. Thank you.
Can you use easy phrases 😢...my eng is crap
Use a dictionary online.
We don't want to get ahead of people. We want people around us to get better.. 😂😂😂
