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.

[@ignaciomontero3493]

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)”.

[@AtticusDenzil]

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

[@aaravonkeys8584]

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

[@personaldevelopmentmotivat4381]

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! 🎉🎉🎉

[@maciecret]

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.

[@blu_emoon]

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 🙏

[@buttibuli9677]

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.

[@julielevesque2668]

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!

[@caleboreilly7601]

In school you have plenty of Chaos and it’s good to learn how to take advantage of all this “Chaos”. Great video 🙂

[@riandoris]

Thank you!

[@Hiepphandang0702]

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

[@Whatnowmaria]

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.

[@jackneals5585]

[@acquadamare7012]

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

[@rehnumakarim3857]

i was fortunate to have Dr. C as my faculty while doing my Masters . Since then I am into flow 😊

[@acea5683]

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.

[@riandoris]

Very glad you found the video useful!

[@maxdrvn]

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!

[@LKleppy]

These videos are so high level, you literally have to be in flow state to understand and retain the information

[@LRR9251]

I’d love to see a video on polyvagal theory and how regulating your nervous system helps with focus/lowering arousal

As a fellow Irish man, this is the best content delivered with an Irish accent.

[@azariahlaoh]

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.

[@Cameron-LeeRoberts]

This is an incredibly interesting video, packed with information and well presented. Kudos to the editing team behind this too. Deserves more recognition

[@thrandulfthegreen]

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.

[@marko_z_bogdanca]

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.

[@riandoris]

Most welcome,appreciate the support.

[@cooledcannon]

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.

[@Jackqueline-xn9sl]

🎉 .... Chaos ... elevate.... ❤..... Impressed 👍🏼

[@preetishere297]

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....😢

[@KotaBozo-lt6gv]

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........

[@use944r]

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.

[@kutluhakan4190]

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.

Thank you, Rian.

There is chaos everywhere. As a musician both personal and professional life is on high volitility and pressure.

[@__40su]

Its not called chaos, its called balancing high intensity focus and high intensity rest

[@afkhoso]

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.

[@TheLegendA51]

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!

[@riandoris]

Thanks for watching!

[@parthapal333]

Your videos are so fast paced that I feel anxious seeing it. I only listen to it and don't look at it

[@Pumpklown]

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.

[@DiMAN23]

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.

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!

great video. but 1 question, how do i know when to transition from struggle to flow?

[@seanaguayo]

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

[@thenightmare2899]

Waiting for you to get million subs

[@jakemkultra]

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 KZbin 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.

[@jankarl5269]

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?

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

[@rockyji8813]

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)

[@pikakz3063]

Yeah but I have so many things, and I can't legally drop some of them

[@Human-san]

Shouldn't you also take into account that socialization/time with friends helps most people to relax/destress?

[@edjrenaline]

As an introvert, being around people drain me and causes me more anxiety, so probably not true for all.

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.
