I was walking through San Francisco one day on an audio tour and heard this story about the Old Ship Saloon... and I knew at that moment, if I ever started a business, I wanted to call it "Steam Engine Solution". This video explains why.

Humanity is sitting on a vast supply of resources and capital in the form of human creativity and genius, which is abundant naturally, but because of our social structure and social heritage, has been bottlenecked by fear and doubt. Imagine what the world might look like if we made mindfulness, creativity and a healthy self-image the ground of our common sense.

Brocton Rye discovered a fasincation with human potential early in life when he read "How to be Twice As Smart" by Scott Witt.
Doing the exercises in that book doubled his reading speed, showed him how to remember long strings of numbers backwards and forwards with perfect recall, how to write letters that made an impact and inspired people to take action, and many other useful skills that somehow the K-12 compulsory school system never did.
So, it was really only a matter of time before he discovered authors like Dominic O'Brien, 8x world memory champion, or Edward deBono, champion of lateral thinking, or Ellen Langer, mother of mindfulness. Or Opher Brayer, who had a completely new and amazingly powerful way of thinking of talent, and of developing it too.
The most life-changing mental technology he ever discovered though, far and away, was Vedic Mathematics, as taught and developd by Kenneth Williams.
Mathematics is the language nature is written in, and discovering this system of mental math, that made the operations and the intuitions so natural they could be done mentally, no calculator needed, was absolutely transformative.
In December of 2024, Brocton was certified to teach this system by Kenneth Williams and in January of 2025 decided to make Steam Engine Solution - sharing the mental technologies that unlock the abilities we are all born with - but few are taught to develop - so that we can live better lives and create a better world together - his professional mission in life.
The most meaningful certification I ever finished.
