• Simplifying to Black and White: Here, we get practical with Sean's method of using a blank sheet of paper to sketch out a clear, uncolored vision for 2025. What does it mean to go 'black and white' in your life planning? What simple steps can be taken tonight or tomorrow to move towards a more satisfying life?

• Visualizing the Future: Sean shares his experiences with AI-generated imagery, from a stressed woman in her 30s to a metaphorical abyss of opportunity, illustrating the power of visualization in goal setting.
