While economic pressures and hiring slowdowns have contributed, experts estimate that 30–50% of the drop is directly linked to AI and automation reshaping entry-level roles — especially in sectors like finance, law, consulting, tech, and media.

Dr. Jon Finn - creator of Human-AI Performance Psychology - tackles this challenging question head-on, revealing statistical evidence that even gold-standard talk therapies like CBT only help one in five people—with benefits typically fading within a year.Drawing from three performance psychology degrees and extensive field experience with elite performers, Dr. Finn shares the four fundamental flaws in traditional coaching approaches that led him to develop the Habit Mechanic AI Edge system. This revolutionary framework has helped clients secure tangible results like circa $90,000 salary increases, and equity positions by becoming leaders in human-AI performance.The breakthrough lies in understanding Brain States first, creating both long-term and daily strategic plans, and implementing a comprehensive behavioral automation system. Unlike conventional approaches that offer disconnected tips and tricks, this system treats personal performance with the same strategic seriousness businesses apply to their planning processes. The result is a four-step AI-Edge Success Cycle that addresses the growing complexity and overwhelm of our AI-enhanced world.Most remarkably, Dr. Finn's and his team's approach doesn't require abandoning everything you've tried before—it provides a better container that amplifies existing tools and adds "super boosters" to make them stick. As he eloquently puts it, "You're only ever one Brain State habit away" from transformation.Ready to experience what's possible when performance psychology is rebuilt from first principles for the AI-Era (i.e., Human-AI Performance Psychology)?

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Jon Finn reveals the first critical step of the Success Cycle—measuring your brain states—and explains why this skill will become humanity's most valuable asset.Your brain operates like a solar-powered lighthouse, cycling through three distinct states: Recharge (recovery mode), Medium Charge (routine task mode), and High Charge (premium performance mode). Most professionals achieve only 1-2 hours of high-impact work daily, with the rest consumed by routine tasks. But by understanding your brain's natural rhythms and optimizing them, you can consistently achieve 5-6+ hours of high-impact work while actually working less overall.Dr. Finn introduces the Human AI Readiness Brain State Assessment, a proven tool measuring fifteen key dimensions of your cognitive performance. Your score reveals your current profile: Cross-to-Bear (losing 4-5 hours of premium thinking daily), Jagged Jewel (losing 2-4 hours), or Arrowhead (losing 1-3 hours). This measurement forms the foundation upon which the entire Success Cycle builds.Traditional approaches to improving performance fall dramatically short in the AI era. A comprehensive study of over 52,000 people showed that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—considered the gold standard—fails to produce meaningful improvement for 58% of participants. The fundamental problem? These approaches focus on providing knowledge rather than building habits, when research shows 98-100% of human behavior comes from habits, not from knowing what we should do.The Success Cycle offers something fundamentally different—a systematic approach based on a proprietary nine-factor habit mechanic system. Just as sports science revolutionized athletics by revealing the science behind peak physical performance, understanding brain states will transform how we work with AI. Ready to measure your brain states and begin optimizing your performance? This episode gives you everything you need to take that crucial first step.
