Entrepreneurs Over 40 Episode 15 with John Moyer

Episode Fifteen features John Moyer talking about how Hypnosis has transformed his life!  This is part one of a two part interview.

My Key Takeaways:

• John used to be in comedy for most of his adult life until he discovered Hypnosis.  He said the more dysfunctional his life was the more material he would have for his shows so it was sort of a vicious cycle.
• After he discovered Hypnosis at a Fair he began to use self hypnosis and he began to notice how his mindset and thinking were changing.
• Because he already had a relationship with the comedy club agents and bookers he was able to quickly sell them on his new Stage Hypnosis act.
• He then began to put his Hypnosis content on YouTube and it sort of exploded in popularity.  
• He and His wife, Rachelle both are involved in Hypnosis as he inspired her to get certified as well.
• When he does live shows, one of the ways that he gets volunteers to come up on stage is to offer them a post-hypnotic suggestion.  John derives a lot of satisfaction from that as he knows he is helping that person to make a lasting meaningful change in their life.
• John gave an interesting perspective on FEAR flashing back to his first comedy gig and later his first stage hypnosis show.  FEAR is false evidence appearing real.  John said that the mind can amplify things and have us see things through a prism that is a false reality.  the mind can't tell the difference between what's real and what's not under hypnosis. So you go through a similar situation when you experience hypnosis. If the mind is believing that something is real, then the mind is going to pick up and run with that idea and act upon that idea as if it is something that's real. 
• the critical faculty is like a firewall that guards the subconscious mind.  Once you get into that subconscious mind, you can tell the subconscious mind, whatever the situation is or whatever the case is.  
  And then the subconscious mind is going to start to just act upon that.
• John pointed out that people are often hypnotized several times a day but just don't realize it for what it is.  This includes when your driving and arrive  home and don't remember any of the trip or when you are engrossed in a book. He also said that almost anyone with an average to above average IQ can experience hypnosis.
• In John's stage hypnosis act he often has people volunteer that think they cannot be hypnotized that later cannot remember a thing. He said that he never tries to prejudge whether a volunteer will be any good or not as there isn't a proven method to tell.
