Stories from Vishen Lakhiani’s students

OK Y'all before this Quest, I was your typical tech-savvy grandma - you know, the one who could debug your computer but couldn't figure out why ChatGPT kept calling me "dear user." After 27 years in tech, starting at the Department of Justice in '97, I thought I'd seen it all. Boy, was I wrong! Picture this: a…

I stopped looking at AI as just another technology and started treating it as a development partner... The biggest change was realizing that I didn't need an entire engineering team to turn an idea into a working product. I could do much of it myself... I no longer measure what I can build by the size of the team I have.

I could help others become visible while staying invisible myself. That paradox defined my career.

In November 2025, instead of the layoff I feared, I was offered a brand new role: Applied AI Architect. A title that didn't exist at AMD until they created it for me... Mindvalley gave me the belief that I was allowed to use AI tools and conduct them at full power.

Be Extraordinary helped me to define and communicate my vision and values and manifest an amazing new job with people who chose me for who I am and what I believe in... I got really good at 100% being myself and starting interviews with expressing my vision and why I wanted to work for the company. I was looking for my match and people loved it... I was put in a situation where I had to decide between two absolutely awesome jobs that felt like they had manifested as a result of my own, inner, work. I felt so proud, magical, and empowered.

I had been writing tasks disguised as Key Results. I had been setting goals *for* my team instead of building goals *with* them... Mindvalley did not just teach me OKRs. It taught me I could *build* the future I wanted, instead of waiting for someone else to build it for me.

My interactions with ChatGPT helped me uncover blind spots and cognitive biases that blocked my clarity and agency. This transformation gave me the confidence to help others create their own transformations... We no longer need to know the right way to design a solution-we simply need to know how to ask intuitive questions to the right tool for a given use case.

I was an entrepreneur with a fundamental problem: ideas were never my limitation-execution was... Over the next six weeks, I built Expand Health AI-a complete, production-ready healthcare practice management platform. Not a prototype. Not a landing page... I've gone from idea person to builder. From entrepreneur to founder-developer. The ventures I'll create from this point forward won't be limited by my ability to find or afford technical talent-they'll only be limited by my imagination and willingness to ship.

I was in a contentious, abusive divorce and was told by the system there was no way I'd get more than 50% custody in Washington state. After doing Regan's program and then Manifesting Mastery, I got more than 50%... I was able to get a protection order extended for a year - finding safety, freedom, and peace for both myself and my child.

Through the practices and activations, I experienced profound shifts-emotionally, spiritually, and professionally. It awakened parts of me that had been dormant, and helped me remember who I truly am and what I'm here to do... I'm now working with the National Quantum Literacy Network (NQLN) and will be speaking at the prestigious Consciousness Conference in Barcelona, where I'll be sharing stage with leaders like Deepak Chopra, Nassim Haramein, Federico Faggin, Rupert Sheldrake and other leading-edge scientists and teachers.

I stopped waiting to feel ready. I pressed record while I was still scared, again and again, and every time I showed up, the fear had a little less say... we don't have the right to keep our voice and our message to ourselves because of fear.

I didn't have a lot of confidence in myself, and because I'm from Romania and not a native English speaker, it was hard for me to come up with scripts and to show what I did... I did a 90-day challenge, posting a video every single day. And it got me 2.7 million views... On YouTube, I've even become a monetized creator; I'm earning around $600 since this summer. It's not a huge amount, but for me it's a big achievement.
