In this episode, Dr. Jon Finn takes you behind the scenes of one of the most important breakthroughs in Train Your Brain for the AI Revolution: Brain States — the hidden driver of everything you think, feel, and do.

Jon shares the origin story of Brain States for the very first time, tracing the idea back nearly a decade to formative experiences teaching activation levels to schoolchildren, collaborating with Professor Jim McKenna, and realising that different tasks in life require completely different neurological settings.

You’ll discover:

• Why Brain States are the foundation of all human performance
• How understanding them transforms everything — from reducing overwhelm to achieving deep focus
• The surprising link between Brain States and the behaviour of modern AI systems
• The journey from early neuroscience insights to the clear, practical three-Brain-State model used in the Habit Mechanic® and AI-Era Performance systems
• Why knowledge alone isn’t enough — and why Brain State habits are the key to lasting change
• How helping others with their habits dramatically accelerates your own growth (and why this is built into the Certified Habit Mechanic Coach® programme)

Jon explains how the six Brain State Habits were created, why this time of year is pivotal for getting your Brain States right, and how one small Brain State breakthrough can meaningfully change the course of your health, happiness, and performance in 2026.

Whether you’re already familiar with Brain State Intelligence® or hearing this story for the first time, this episode will deepen your understanding of how your brain really works — and why you’re only ever one Brain State habit away from being who you want to become.
