Improve strategy, influence, and decision-making by understanding your brain | Evan LaPointe (founder of CORE Sciences)

The brain is like a college campus that has different departments in it. Most people rely on their history department way too much. If you instead send things to the kind of the more experimental, open minded science department, the more creative art department, you get dramatically better answers. I know you have a bunch of awesome advice on becoming more influential. It's almost like you're playing like Elden Ring or some video game. The starting point is. To choose your character. Hey, I'm the devil's advocate approach, or I'm the break it and see if it still stands after I hit it really hard with a sledgehammer kind of guy. Your personality kind of has a natural fit. How do we create better relationships within our teams? It's critical to ask what kind of experience am I? Not how good am I at my job, how much do I know, how critical am I to this process, but Am I a miserable experience? And if the answer is yes, don't worry too much about the other pieces yet. You gotta fix that first. I am really excited for this episode. I think it's gonna be unlike any other conversation I've had on this podcast. And then here's the surprise ending. Today my guest is Evan LePointe.

Evan is the founder of Core Sciences. Which teaches companies and individuals How our brains actually work? And through that lens. How to more effectively work with other people on teams, how to build better products, how to grow your business.
