“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Ken Adams, Director of Student Success and Head Coach at UPGRD, to explore how our perception shapes the reality we live in.

Ken breaks down the link between mindset and reality, revealing how much of what we experience in life is driven by subconscious programming—beliefs, stories, and habits that often run on autopilot. He shares how reprogramming your perception can unlock new levels of clarity, confidence, and success—both personally and professionally.

This conversation blends psychology, neuroscience, and practical coaching insight to show that reality isn’t fixed—it’s something you can shape with awareness and intention. Ken guides listeners through what it means to challenge old mental frameworks, rewrite limiting narratives, and consciously create a version of life that truly aligns with your purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns or questioned what’s really holding you back, this episode will open your eyes to the truth about perception—and how to reprogram your mind to change your reality.
