About this episode

You've heard the myths - swinging watches, losing control, clucking like a chicken on stage. In this episode, I talk about the real story of how a session I booked purely to lose weight accidentally became the start of my entire career. I break down what hypnosis actually is, walk through the thousands of years history behind it and explain why, after seven years in this work, I've decided it's time to start training other people to do it too.

In this episode, I talk about:

  1. The accidental beginning - the weight-loss session, the Princess Rebecca hypnosis track, and the moment at the Christmas table that changed everything
  2. The biggest myths about hypnosis - swinging watches, stage shows, losing control, and why none of it is true
  3. So what actually is hypnosis - the real definition.
  4. Why your clients aren't the problem - Milton Erickson's rapport insight and what it means for anyone who feels stuck on repeat
  5. Why NLP and hypnosis have never been separate for me and what each one gives you that the other doesn't
  6. Why I'm training practitioners in both and why this feels like the natural next step, not a new direction

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
