Episode Description

You are not afraid of public speaking. You’re afraid of being judged, rejected, embarrassed, or getting it wrong. In this episode, John Assaraf, entrepreneur, brain performance researcher, and founder of MyNeuroGym, breaks down what’s happening inside your brain when fear, anxiety, procrastination, or self-doubt kick in, why 95% of what we think, feel, and do is automatic, and how to interrupt those patterns without relying on willpower. We talk about rewiring habits, strengthening your “neuromuscles,” why stress chemicals only last 90 seconds if you don’t feed them, and how to rewire your “Frankenstein brain” into your “Einstein brain.” Get ready to rewire the patterns that have been running your life on autopilot.
