Chaos feels hard and upsetting and seems to be all around us, but what if chaos isn't the problem but the opportunity?  How do we survive it, and thrive?

Fashion designer turned hypnotist, Angel Millar, discusses his book 'Transcend the Chaos' and shares a surprising framework for navigating our unpredictable world: the six C's—connection, creativity, craft, culture, character, and consciousness.

We talk about why American creativity has been declining since the 1990s and what that means for our future. Millar shares stories from studying fashion at London's most prestigious design school, practicing martial arts, and using hypnosis techniques that everyone from Salvador Dalí to modern CEOs have employed to access deeper states of thinking.

The conversation wanders through fascinating territory: why immigrants and risk-takers develop advantages others don't, what happens when communities break down, how AI is forcing us to rethink what makes us human, and why rational thinking alone won't cut it anymore.

As practical tasks get automated and chaos becomes constant, Millar believes we will be freed up to redevelop the whole person—body, mind, and consciousness.  It's a thought-provoking look at where we're headed and how to prepare for a future that's already arriving.

Our lives follow our thoughts
Doubts, fears, and uncertainty can get in the way.
Criticism and compliments can mold our decisions.
Good or bad, we conform to what's expected of us.
And we forget who we are, deep down.

Take back control
Now's the time to dig deep into yourself.
Prepare your mind for the success you really want.
Affect real and lasting change.
