90s nostalgia is everywhere. It feels like this time we're never going to have again—no cell phones, no one able to track us or reach us, no AI, just this simplicity of our days and lives. And I think there's a reason we're all feeling this way right now that goes way deeper than fashion trends and Blockbuster memories—and it's something that almost nobody is talking about. And when we identify what we REALLY need, what that ache is really telling us, there are some key action steps we can take, without inventing time travel. So that's what we're going to get into today.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• How to get the best parts of '90s life

• The surprising psychology behind nostalgia

• How to opt out of our always-on, always-performing culture

• Concrete steps to slow down your nervous system in a world that won't stop speeding up

What if I told you that your brain is being hijacked constantly (and not just in the ways that you might think). There are 4 forces in modern life that are rewiring your brain RIGHT NOW. In fact, your brain is continuously rewiring itself. BUT we CAN have control over how it rewires and improve our thoughts, happiness, and overall life.

So today I sit down with Dr. David Eagleman, a Stanford neuroscientist (whose work actually inspired my famous “The Novelty Rule”) to share the latest neuroscience research and translate it into practical tools you can use immediately to help you take control of your brain health and feel so much better about your technology addiction, your anxiety or depression, your concerns around AI changing our thinking, and so much more. You’ll leave feeling surprisingly optimistic with the data he shares, so get excited.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• One tiny change you can make today to wake your brain up

• The surprising link between routine and cognitive decline

• How to "microdose novelty" to slow down time, sharpen your brain, and build resilience

• The "Ulysses Contract" trick to outsmart your phone 

• A new breakthrough one-day treatment to stop past trauma from running your mind

• Why AI might actually make our thinking smarter if we use it in the right way
