In this episode, Dr. Jon Finn continues the How to Motivate Yourself for 2026 series by tackling a critical question: how do you turn a future vision into clear, meaningful action in an increasingly complex, AI-driven world?

As organisations prepare to scale AI and reduce headcount, many of the tasks humans have traditionally been paid to do are changing or disappearing. Dr. Finn explains why the key to thriving in this environment isn’t working harder or setting more goals — it’s learning how to manage your Brain States and align them with what truly matters to you.

Building on Parts 1 and 2, this episode focuses on creating and breaking down your Future Ambitious Meaningful (FAM) Story — a practical planning system that connects your long-term vision (health, happiness, contribution) to what you need to focus on this year, this month, this week, and today.

You’ll be guided through Chapter 16 of Train Your Brain for the AI Revolution: Breaking Down Your FAM Journey, where Dr. Finn walks you step by step through translating aspirations into a flexible, actionable plan that supports motivation, clarity, and sustainable performance.

This episode is designed to be practical, reflective, and non-overwhelming — helping you create direction in uncertainty and make working on your brain states feel meaningful right now.

Part 4 will continue the series by exploring the daily habits that turn your FAM Story into consistent action.
