This episode features a conversation originally recorded on Scott Barker’s Wake Up Call podcast. It explores Chris Walker’s personal journey, the origins of ENCODED, and the frameworks behind frequency training, transformation, and the six-tier model of human development.

The discussion begins with Chris breaking down his life into three distinct chapters. In 2015, he was living an average life while following society’s expectations — work schedules, office rules, alcohol norms, and a definition of success that didn’t feel meaningful. In 2019, after being fired from a startup job, he launched a consulting business with $3,000 to his name. The company later scaled to $21M ARR, but the success came with burnout, anxiety, and a persistent feeling that something was off. Today, he lives and works in a completely different way, prioritizing how he feels, limiting meetings, choosing aligned relationships, and designing life around intentional energy rather than external pressure.

From this lived experience came ENCODED — a system built on frequency training, the process of upgrading identity, beliefs, emotions, and intentions instead of relying on motivation or willpower. Chris explains how societal programming creates “default” beliefs that shape our lives until we consciously examine them.

Chris also walks through the five stages of transformation — awareness, belief and identity upgrades, interruption, integration, and embodiment — and explains why most people get stuck by skipping the identity stage and going straight to behavior change. He outlines how ENCODED uses frequency chains to help people rewire identity and belief patterns, which then naturally shift emotions, intentions, actions, and results over a 30–90 day period.

The conversation extends into how these frameworks can transform leadership, parenting, relationships, decision-making, and daily emotional patterns. Chris and Scott explore how education could evolve beyond memorization toward intuition, presence, self-trust, and emotional regulation — capacities that become increasingly valuable in a world shaped by AI.

This episode offers a clear, grounded look at the principles underlying ENCODED and how they formed through Chris’s own transformation. It’s an honest, practical discussion about upgrading internal architecture rather than relying on force, pressure, or suffering to change your life.

This episode introduces the Human Arc of Transformation, a five-stage process that explains how real, sustainable change happens. It coincides with the official launch of the ENCODED Frequency Training System, now available at encoded.ai.

Transformation isn’t random—it follows a predictable structure that can be applied to any area of life. Most people try to change through motivation, discipline, or willpower alone, but lasting transformation follows a universal five-stage process:

1. Awareness – Seeing what isn’t working and defining what you want instead.

2. Belief and Identity Upgrades – Shifting internal stories about who you are and what’s possible.

3. Interruption – Breaking old patterns and taking different actions.

4. Integration – Repeating new behaviors until they become familiar and consistent.

5. Embodiment – When the new behaviors become automatic—simply who you are.

The episode uses clear, real-world examples—from fitness and leadership to lifestyle change—to show how this process plays out in daily life. It explains why most transformation efforts fail when identity and belief shifts are skipped and why upgrading those elements first makes new actions feel natural and effortless.

Listeners learn how to recognize this arc in their own past successes—like learning to drive, changing careers, or developing new habits—and how to consciously apply it to future goals.

What You’ll Learn:

• The five stages every sustainable transformation follows.

• Why relying on willpower and discipline alone doesn’t work long term.

• How internal identity and belief shifts create effortless behavior change.

• Real-world examples of the process in health, leadership, and lifestyle.

• How to recognize where you are in the arc and move to the next stage.

• The difference between temporary motivation and lasting embodiment.

• How to apply this framework to any goal—from personal growth to business leadership.

This episode introduces frequency training, the structured, repeatable process at the core of the ENCODED system. It explains how lasting transformation happens by upgrading identity, beliefs, emotions, and intentions—the internal architecture that shapes every result in life.

The episode outlines how frequency training provides a measurable and sustainable alternative to surface-level change. Instead of focusing on action or motivation alone, it focuses on the invisible patterns that create consistent behavior and results.

Listeners learn the five phases of frequency training:

1. Mapping – gaining awareness of current patterns and defining desired outcomes.

2. Imprinting – rewriting limiting beliefs and strengthening new ones through an intentional process.

3. Anchoring – aligning daily actions with the new frequency.

4. Stabilization – maintaining alignment through challenges and stress.

5. Expansion – allowing growth and opportunity to unfold naturally.

The episode highlights how this process produces both internal and external benefits—greater calm, clarity, confidence, improved relationships, and more aligned opportunities. Frequency training turns personal growth into a measurable skill rather than a one-time realization, helping individuals build a stable foundation for lasting transformation.

What You’ll Learn:

• The purpose and design of the ENCODED frequency training system.

• Why transformation through action alone is short-lived.

• The five phases of frequency training and how each one builds on the next.

• How mapping and imprinting reveal and rewrite deep identity and belief patterns.

• Why stabilization is key to preventing burnout and sustaining momentum.

• How expansion happens naturally once alignment is established.

• The measurable benefits of consistent frequency training across all areas of life.

This episode explains resonance, the bridge between your internal state and the external world. It’s the point where frequency and coherence—your identity, beliefs, emotions, and intentions—interact with your environment to shape real-world results.

Resonance isn’t about agreeing with ideas or preferences. It’s a measurable principle describing how internal patterns create matching external experiences. We don’t attract what we want—we attract what we are. When our internal state aligns with our goals, life moves smoothly. When it’s out of sync, progress feels like pushing against resistance.

Using clear examples across relationships, work, and leadership, the episode shows how resonance explains repeating patterns and recurring challenges. Someone who believes vulnerability isn’t safe will attract emotionally unavailable partners. A business leader who identifies as “the firefighter” will continually attract crises. Shifting these underlying identities and beliefs changes what life reflects back.

The episode also connects coherence (inner alignment) and resonance (external alignment) to show how they work together: low frequency and low coherence create friction; low frequency with high coherence creates stability without growth; high frequency with high coherence creates flow. Understanding this relationship turns everyday results into feedback, offering a roadmap for alignment and sustainable progress.

What You’ll Learn:

• What resonance is and how it connects your inner state to external outcomes.

• Why we attract what we are, not what we want.

• The difference between being in resonance (flow) and out of resonance (friction).

• Real-world examples in relationships, work, and leadership.

• How coherence and resonance work together to shape timing and opportunity.

• How to use outcomes as mirrors for growth and alignment.

• Why understanding resonance leads to greater ease, cooperation, and momentum.

This episode explores coherence—the state where identity, beliefs, emotions, intentions, and actions align in a single direction. Coherence builds on the foundation of frequency, translating energy into steady progress, clear decisions, and a sense of flow.

When coherence is high, life feels calm and directed. When it’s low, effort creates resistance—leading to burnout, confusion, and inconsistent results. Using the metaphor of an orchestra, coherence is when every instrument plays the same piece; incoherence is when they play different ones, creating noise.

The episode introduces a four-quadrant model that combines frequency and coherence to explain different life states:

• Low frequency + low coherence: chaos and exhaustion.

• Low frequency + high coherence: stability without growth.

• High frequency + low coherence: bursts followed by crashes.

• High frequency + high coherence: flow and sustained expansion.

Through practical examples in health, leadership, and everyday decisions, the episode shows why coherence—not more effort—is what stabilizes growth and makes results last. It explains how raising frequency opens new possibilities while coherence makes those possibilities sustainable.

What You’ll Learn:

• The definition of coherence and how it builds on frequency.

• Why alignment across identity, beliefs, emotions, intentions, and actions drives real transformation.

• Common signs of incoherence, including burnout, repeating patterns, and post-achievement emptiness.

• The four-quadrant framework combining frequency and coherence.

• Real-world examples of coherence in health, leadership, and creativity.

• Why high coherence creates clarity, stability, and flow.

• How coherence turns elevated frequency into sustainable results.

This episode breaks down the core concept of frequency as defined inside the ENCODED system and explains why it’s the foundation for how we think, create, and live. It also outlines ENCODED’s broader mission—to raise the collective frequency of the World by helping individuals upgrade their own internal operating systems.

Frequency is presented as a practical, measurable architecture made up of four parts: identity, beliefs, emotions, and intentions. Together, these elements form the invisible structure that shapes behavior, results, and overall experience. The episode uses a radio-tower analogy—identity as the structure, beliefs as the tuning knobs, emotions as the current, and intentions as the signal direction—to show how frequency determines what we broadcast and attract.

The conversation clears up common misunderstandings: frequency isn’t mood, personality, or spirituality—it’s a skill that can be intentionally trained. Listeners also learn how research in neuroscience and physics supports the idea that our perceptions and environments align with our internal state.

By understanding and upgrading frequency, we can reshape how life feels and functions—unlocking new levels of clarity, creativity, and alignment across every part of life.

What You’ll Learn:

• How ENCODED’s mission connects personal and collective frequency.

• The four elements that make up frequency: identity, beliefs, emotions, and intentions.

• The radio-tower framework for understanding how frequency operates.

• Why frequency differs from mood, vibe, or personality.

• How neuroscience and system synchronization explain frequency alignment.

• Examples showing how people interpret and experience the same event differently based on frequency.

• How to begin observing and refining your own frequency patterns.

In this episode, Chris Walker reveals how frequency spreads between people, teams, and entire organizations, shaping how we think, feel, and perform.

Frequency isn’t just personal; it’s shared. We unconsciously absorb and mirror the energy of the people and environments around us. This energetic synchronization happens across three levels:

• Biological: our bodies literally tune to others’ nervous systems.

• Behavioral: we take on others’ beliefs, emotions, and intentions.

• Cultural: groups form collective energetic signatures that define how they operate.

Chris breaks down how this dynamic shows up everywhere, from relationships to boardrooms, and how urgency, scarcity, and fear can spread just as easily as calm, clarity, and trust. You’ll learn how to become aware of these transfers and consciously choose environments that elevate your state rather than drain it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How energy moves through people, teams, and cultures.

• The three levels of energetic influence: biological, behavioral, and cultural.

• Why your environment quietly shapes your identity, beliefs, and emotions.

• How frequency chains transfer between individuals.

• The ripple effect of investor urgency and extractive systems on company culture.

• How to recognize when you’re absorbing low-frequency states.

• Simple ways to protect and strengthen your field.

This episode introduces an entirely new framework: Frequency Chains, the invisible sequences that determine every visible outcome in your life.

Chris Walker breaks down how our internal state becomes external reality through a simple, powerful model: IBEIBR — Identity, Beliefs, Emotions, Intentions, Behavior patterns, and Results. This framework reveals how the energy underneath your actions creates your results.

From your “I am” statements to the beliefs that filter your experiences, emotions that reveal your vibrational state, intentions that steer your energy, and behaviors that express it all, this episode offers a clear map for shifting your frequency at the source.

If you’ve ever wondered why repeating new habits, goals, or affirmations only work temporarily, this episode explains why—and how to create lasting change by upgrading your inner operating system.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The IBEIBR Frequency Chain: how identity, beliefs, emotions, intentions, behaviors, and results connect.

• Why most attempts to change fail when they start at the behavior level.

• How to distinguish between beliefs and facts and why most “facts” are actually interpretations.

• Why emotions are vibrational readouts of belief, not problems to fix.

• The difference between low-frequency intentions (proving, protecting, performing) and high-frequency intentions (creating, connecting, contributing).

• How to use results as mirrors, not measures of worth.

• Real-life examples of low vs. high-frequency chains in work, health, and purpose.

• A practical exercise for identifying and rewriting your current frequency chain.
