How To Begin Your Human Optimization Journey With Wei Houng

"Just be the best human being you can be." In this episode, Nick speaks with Wei Houng about the importance of human connection, self-discovery, and the innovative technology behind human optimization. Wei shares his journey from a technical background to exploring the spiritual and esoteric realms, leading to the development of a patented assessment technology that helps individuals understand their unique nature. What to listen for: Human connection is essential for self-discovery and purpose Exploring both the scientific and spiritual aspects of life can lead to deeper understanding Objectivity is crucial in understanding oneself without bias Communication styles vary, and recognizing them can enhance relationships Real-life stories illustrate the impact of understanding one's unique nature Personal growth creates a ripple effect in the community Life's complexities are often human-made constructs Embracing one's uniqueness is vital for personal fulfillment The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and transformative “For a human being to perpetually live in survival mode is perpetually living a life through judgment and subjectivity.” Survival mode filters life through fear instead of truth Judgment becomes protection, not understanding Safety is the gateway to peace and clarity Subjectivity traps us in old stories and wounds Awareness breaks the cycle and restores freedom “Most of us haven't been given the opportunity to graduate from that subjective foundational understanding of self to define who we are.” Our first identity is shaped by others, not ourselves True growth means consciously redefining who we are Few are taught how to move beyond conditioning Awareness is the bridge from survival to authenticity Defining yourself is the ultimate act of empowerment About Wei Houng Wei is one of the co-founders of HumanOp Technologies, a company dedicated to disrupting the matrix that forces sameness and rewards burnout. After seeing countless high-performers operating out of rhythm with who they truly are, he's part of the team that is using the world's first physics-based technology to reveal a person's authentic nature. His mission is to help people stop 'efforting' their way through life and start flowing with it, so they can be filled with the energy, joy, and purpose they were designed for.

I'm your host, Nick McGowan. Today on the show we have Wei Houng. Wei, how you doing today? Wei Houng (00:12.321)really good especially after our pre-show warm-up. Nick McGowan (00:16.712)Absolutely. And there, I say this, I don't know, every so often on episodes and people will hear it, but you guys don't hear the stuff that happens before we hit record or anything. But legitimately, there are beautiful conversations that I've had where I go, we need to hit record, like all of this needs to be on here. And this was one of those like we've literally been talking for like 40 minutes at this point. Wei Houng (00:33.345)Why? Yeah. Yeah. Nick McGowan (00:40.992)So there's a lot of stuff that we're gonna be able to cover and a lot of stuff we're gonna get into. And one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to have you on is to be able to talk about the human connection within ourselves and how we relate to ourselves, how we figure out ourselves and how that ties into our purpose. We're gonna get into technology and all the other things that are in there, but why don't you kick us off? Why don't you tell us what you do for a living and what's one thing most people don't know about you that's maybe a little odd or bizarre? Wei Houng (01:05.985)Yeah, great question. I you know, I've been in this human optimization game we were just talking about now. I'm, you know, I used to say the same number year after year until somebody called me out on it and said, you've been saying that number for the last five years I've known you as like, do you never increase that number? I was like, Oh, you're right. And so I last when I checked last, I've been I've been at this human optimization game now for what 30, I think, over 31 years now. Nick McGowan (01:23.952)Wei Houng (01:33.929)And a lot of it was driven by what I dealt with, you know, as a kid in junior high feeling like a lot of kids, I think I was being bullied. didn't feel like I fit in. And so they got to a point where I thought there was something wrong with me. Right. The name I'm one of the co-founders of our company called human op technologies. Human op is short for human optimization. And we have a patented human assessment technology that is only patented because it's not based on psychology. Right. It's it's based on physics and math and science and that's how we were able to kind of get away with patenting. Well, not get away with, we did do it, patenting assessment technology. But before we get into that, there's one thing that really kind of helped facilitate this that a lot of people, well, some people know, but a lot of people don't know is that I spent a lot of years in the spiritual community to kind of truly explore. the esoteric side because I spent my background in computer science engineering. So I had a lifetime of just being on the technical left brain side of things, science and grounded methodologies and all this jazz. And so when I was trying to see all that was, all that is available in this world, I got deep into the, what people will say, the woo community, right? And there was one point where I, Nick McGowan (02:50.552)Mm-hmm. Wei Houng (02:55.553)you know, and there's nothing wrong with these teachers because they have a lot more faith and trust than I do. But it's not like I didn't, I was skeptical about things. I just have that kind of mind. I want to understand it. So in the case one day, if I want to teach this to somebody, I can have the confidence to understand the both the left, the right brain, every possible facet of how to help people embrace what I'm talking about. Right. And when it came to energy work and energy healing and hypnotherapy and all those different things, I would get to a point with every teacher and I've had many where I was asked so many questions about why does this work? How does this work? Why does this work? Until finally the last stage I said she was frustrated like my parents were and said, wait, it just is. Okay. It just is. And I say, then it just took me back to my traumas as a youth. It's like telling me to shut up. It just is. Okay. Why? Why? It just is. Okay. Fine. So at this point, Nick McGowan (03:44.024)Yeah. Wei Houng (03:51.371)done with college and everything. I have my UCLA alumni card. said, you know what, I'm going to go figure this out myself. And so I finally, I never knew how to use alumni card until then. was like, you mean I can go back to the UCLA engineering library and just hang out there. And it's like, well, yeah, you're alumni. was like, great. So I go in there and I think if you add up all the hours I was going back and forth, just looking into reopening the books on quantum physics, thermodynamics, the meaning of the universe instead for a school project, it was for my own personal understanding of why something that is so seemingly anti-science is really isn't anti-science. It's just another language to explain what science is also trying to explain, right? If you add up all the hours, I think it was like almost like a week. It's like I was there for like a straight week. If I went there 24 hours for a whole Nick McGowan (04:41.624)Nice. Wei Houng (04:43.969)what seven times 24, whatever that is, right? What does that does 168 hours or something like that. So and what I came out with was a deeper understanding, just simply on how to explain things like pranic prana, how does how does how does the directing of the energy work? And how does energy behave? You know, what happens when a human being dies? You know, what does What are we talking about when we say like, you know, a soul or whatever the case may be, you know, it's not like I don't believe in it. I just like to have multiple ways of explaining it to help serve a larger segment of humanity. And that's really what drives me to do is not to debunk anything, but to help more people understand the miracle of what happens every single day. and not deny us just because it's not part of our reality, deny us the potential of being able to embrace and accept more that can potentially augment our own personal lives. And so that's kind of a long way to say that. And that might be something like a lot of people don't know, just kind of how I hated school. And then I went back to school to use the school, but use it in the way I wanted to use it to help explain something in my life that nobody else was able to explain for me. And now when I go out and I… connect with people who are in the esoteric world. And I get asked to be on their podcast because they say, can you come on my podcast of Reiki healing and energy and explain what you just explained to me? Because I've never been able to do that. And this is exactly what the world needs to hear. was like, So yeah.
