Ninety minutes · Silicon Valley or on video

Ninety minutes on the thing that will not move.

You bring the one thing you cannot get past. Ninety minutes on it, with Wei Houng, who has spent over thirty years on why people get stuck. You leave with the Session Recording, and a plan you can tap to replay any moment of it.

$1,500 Session Recording and Integration Action Plan included

If it wasn't worth it, you get it back. Thirty days, no reason needed.

You pick a time, answer the three questions, and pay on that screen. Thirty days from the day your plan arrives to ask for it back.

This is for one specific thing

Something you have been circling for months. Or years.

You’ve already tried the obvious moves and some of the clever ones. The people around you can’t quite see it, and it hasn’t shifted no matter how you come at it.

“I’ve been stuck on the same thing for months and I’ve tried everything.”

If that sentence is close to the one in your head, this is the page for you.

It might be a hire you keep postponing, a conversation you’ve rehearsed for a year and never had, or a part of the business you keep rebuilding every eighteen months. If you can name it in one sentence and it still hasn’t moved, it belongs here.

This is mostly for founders and people running something, and the thing you’re stuck on doesn’t have to be a work thing.

Often the thing you can name is the surface of it. Underneath sits a set of reasons that have been running that decision for years, and most of them were installed by somebody else.

Plenty of the people who book this are doing well by every measure the outside world keeps. Revenue, headcount, the house, the title. And they aren’t enjoying much of any of it. Money rich, happiness poor. They built the thing they were told to want, with their own hands, and somewhere in the building it stopped being theirs.

“I built exactly what I thought I wanted, and now I don’t want it.”

So the ninety minutes goes after the reasons. Why the call keeps not getting made, what overrides it every time, and which of the things you’re working toward you actually chose.

A hard decision is a different problem and it takes a different kind of help. A decision responds to better thinking. A block doesn’t, which is why yours is still there after everything you’ve thrown at it.

If you already know what the right answer is and still haven’t done it, that’s a block. If you can’t tell what the right answer is, that’s a decision, and better thinking will move it.

Months is enough. If it’s been years, that is not a mark against you and it is not a sign you were slow about it. Either way, a thing that outlasts everything you’ve thrown at it is the second kind, and that is what the ninety minutes is built for.

What actually happens

The session opens on your problem

You send three answers before you come. Wei reads them beforehand, so the ninety minutes starts where it should.

Then ninety minutes on the one thing. No curriculum and no slides. Wei has spent decades on why people get stuck. Most of the time goes to the story you’ve been telling yourself about this problem, because that story is usually where the block is sitting.

Most of the session is you talking. Wei asks about the places your account of it stops holding together. He arrives having read your answers and with no agenda built from them.

One of the things people bring most often is a hire they haven’t made. They’ve known for a year that the job needs to leave their desk. Every time it comes up, the sentence is a version of the same one: this person does eighty percent of what I can do, and I can do a hundred.

The move is not to argue with the sentence. It’s to notice that it never varies, and that it always arrives attached to the same next clause, which is some form of but I hate doing it. Both halves have been sitting in one sentence the whole time. Hearing them next to each other is usually where it ends.

What you leave with

The audio, plus a plan you can tap to replay it

Ninety minutes of this doesn’t leave a tidy memory. By the end of the week the exact words are gone.

So you get the audio, and you get an Integration Action Plan: a short page you open on your phone or laptop. It marks the moments that mattered, in your own words. Each one is a button. Tap it and the recording plays from that second.

Example plan · your own words go hereSession audio

The sentence you kept coming back to. 00:34:12
The thing you said you had already ruled out. 01:02:47
What you said when you were asked why it still mattered. 01:19:10

Your plan carries what you actually said, and each marker plays that part of the recording.

So in six weeks you open the plan, tap the moment you need, and hear that part of the session again.

Who you would be sitting with

Wei Houng, seated, hands steepled, listening.

Over thirty years of this, and almost none of it learned the usual way

You’d be sitting with someone who’s spent over thirty years on this, with everyone from some of the largest companies in the world down to people bootstrapping out of a spare room. He puts the number of people he’s sat with in the thousands. He started coaching twenty-five years ago.

What he studies is how a person assembles the account of their own life, and where that account stops holding together. That’s the entire mechanic of the ninety minutes.

Mostly founders and people running companies. Also professional athletes, first responders, veterans, and executives inside very large organizations. It behaves the same way in all of those rooms.

He studied computer science engineering at UCLA and then never worked a day as an engineer. What he kept was the habit: find the one thing actually causing the failure, change that, and watch what moves. Pointed at a person instead of a system, that’s most of what happens in the ninety minutes. It’s also why the difference between a block and a decision matters so much to him. Those are different faults and they don’t answer to the same thing.

What he did instead was a long run of jobs that were all, underneath, about people: IT, mortgages, digital marketing, sales and marketing, personal training, and general manager of several restaurants, where he built the training programs. Four of those happened inside a single decade, and one client followed him through all four. Until the pandemic he also ran a seminar company with two flagship events a year.

The formal training behind it is NLP and hypnosis, at master practitioner and trainer level, and Mental Emotional Release. Thousands of hours of one-to-one work, all of it blended rather than one method at a time.

His methods are written down rather than kept proprietary. He’d rather people could eventually do this without him.

“What I actually love is this: someone brings me what they’re stuck on and we break it open.”

Past clients

What they said, and what changed for them

Swipe for the other three.

The quotes are shortened. Nothing inside them has been added or reworded. Names are abbreviated at our clients' request, and some of the people we work with cannot be quoted at all. Every one of these was volunteered. We have never paid for a testimonial.

The price

$1,500 - including the Session Recording and your Integration Action Plan

There is nothing else to buy and no package this leads into.

What happens next

You pick one of the open times, answer the three questions on that screen, and pay there. Wei reads your answers before you arrive.

If you would rather not wait for us, the calendar is here, and it is the same link we would send you.

What we promise

  • Wei reads your three answers before you arrive, so the ninety minutes starts on the problem.
  • The full ninety minutes is yours. Nothing is sold to you inside it.
  • Your Session Recording and Integration Action Plan arrive within three business days of the session.

If any of those three things does not happen, tell us and we refund the full $1,500.

And what you say stays between you and Wei. Only Wei ever hears the recording, and it is transcribed and written up entirely on our own equipment, so nothing you say is sent to any outside service. If your situation needs an NDA, say so and we will send a mutual one before you book.

And if it simply was not worth it

Your Session Recording and Integration Action Plan arrive within three business days of the session, and the thirty days starts then, rather than on the day you pay.

Tell us within thirty days of the day we send them and we return it in full. You do not need to give a reason and we will not ask for one. One email to [email protected] is the whole process.

We reply by the end of the next business day and start the refund to your original card at the same time. It usually appears on your statement within five to ten business days.

What you keep either way: the Session Recording, the transcript and the Integration Action Plan are yours. If you would rather we deleted our copies, say so in the same email and we will confirm within seven days.

What this is not

Three things it would be easy to assume

It is not therapy and it is not crisis support. If you are in acute distress, or carrying something that needs clinical care, this is not the right kind of help. Tell us and we will say so plainly and refund you, on the day if it comes to that.

Who this does not work for

This does not work if you have not tried yet

One filter, because it saves us both the ninety minutes. If you haven’t tried anything yet, you’re undecided, and that is a different and much easier problem. Come back when you’ve thrown real effort at this and it has held.

Before you come

Three questions you answer when you book

  1. What is the thing you are stuck on?
  2. How long has it been true?
  3. What have you already tried?

Wei reads all three before you meet, so the ninety minutes starts where it should.

Where it happens

On video, or in person if that matters to you

Most sessions are on video, and nothing about the ninety minutes changes when they are. Same length, same three questions, same recording, same plan, same price.

If being in the same physical space matters to you, write to [email protected] and we will arrange it. Wei is in the Bay Area. We can book somewhere private, or he can come to you.

One requirement, wherever it happens

A door that closes, and nobody who reports to you on the other side of it. Ninety minutes of this only works if you can say the thing you haven’t said out loud yet, and you can’t do that with your team walking past the glass. If your own office can’t give you that, tell us and we’ll find somewhere that can.

Four sessions a week, and nothing is bookable inside 48 hours, because Wei reads your answers first.

Questions

The things people ask

The session itself

What if I can’t tell what the one thing is?

Write down all of them. Which one is underneath is often the first thing we find.

Do I need to have taken the Nature Map?

No. It’s a free fifteen-minute questionnaire about how you work. It helps, and it’s not required. Take it here.

Can I bring my co-founder or partner?

Yes. Same session, same price.

What if I need more than one?

Book another. There’s no package and no commitment either way. If what you brought turns out to need a season rather than ninety minutes, that is ninety days, and it is a separate decision at a separate price.

Privacy and the recording

Is it recorded, and who hears it?

Yes, audio, and Wei asks you at the start so your consent is on tape. Only Wei ever hears the recording.

Nothing you say is sent to anybody. The recording is transcribed on our own equipment, and the plan is written with the help of an open source AI model running on that same machine. No third party service touches the audio or the transcript, so there is no vendor holding a copy of it.

You can decline the recording and still have the session.

Do you sign NDAs?

If your situation needs one, say so and we will send a mutual NDA before you book. Most people don’t ask, and nothing about the session changes either way. We treat it as confidential either way, wherever the session happens.

Paying and scheduling

How and when do I pay?

On the booking page. You pick your time, answer the three questions, and pay on that same screen.

What if I need to move it, or cancel?

Tell us any time before your slot and we’ll move you to the next one that works. No fee, no penalty, no cut-off. You have already paid, so it is only a change of date.

If you would rather cancel altogether, say so and we return it in full. If we ever have to cancel on you, the same applies and you get first pick of the next open slot.

Can I pay through my company, and do you invoice?

Yes. Say so when you reply and we will send an invoice and a receipt with whatever billing details you need.

I am not in Pacific time. Does that work?

Wei is on Pacific time and the open slots follow it. If none of them work, write to [email protected] and we will find one that does. It has been made to work across most time zones so far.

How soon can I come?

Usually the following week. There are four slots a week and nothing is bookable inside 48 hours, so the honest answer is that it depends on which of the four is still open.

What if it is not useful?

Email [email protected] within thirty days of the day we send your Session Recording and Integration Action Plan, and we return it in full without asking you to justify it.

You already know which thing this is about.

Ninety minutes on that one

Pick one of the open times. The three questions are on the booking page, and Wei reads your answers before you arrive.

If somebody sent you here, tell us who so we can thank them.
