In this short, the speaker explains how the brain’s reticular activation system (RAS) acts as a filter that highlights opportunities once they become a focus. He illustrates this with an anecdote about Tommy, who while driving noticed multiple “for sale” signs for businesses, indicating his RAS was primed to spot such deals. The speaker then suggests the quickest way to train this ability is to gamify it, recommending the Cashflow board game as a tool to practice recognizing and acting on financial opportunities.

The muscles, and one of them is the reticular activation system. Because for instance, like what Tommy just said yesterday, he was out, um, handling, uh, the septic tank on one of the jobs. And while he was driving, uh, his brain picked up that's for sale, that's for sale, that's for sale. So his reticular activation system in his brain starts seeing these businesses are for sale. And so the fastest way that I can do that for— in training your brain is to gamify it. And we do that through the game Cashflow.
