How to Improve Performance with Gamification and Feedback Shep interviews Jimmy Chebat, founder and CEO of ZIZO Technologies. He talks about how employee engagement and retention can be intentionally designed and improved through positive feedback, gamification, and purposeful organizational design. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How does employee experience directly impact customer experience? How can leaders intentionally design a workplace for higher retention? What is the difference between corrective feedback and recognition-based feedback? How does gamification improve employee engagement and workplace productivity? How do you build feedback and recognition into workplace infrastructure? Top Takeaways: Employee experience directly influences how customers perceive and interact with a company. If employees feel valued, engaged, and recognized, that positive environment shows up in customer interactions. High attrition is a design problem, not a people problem. It is a symptom of an organization that fails to support and motivate its employees. Because of technology, the friction that made it difficult for employees to switch companies, like location limits and time-consuming application processes, have largely disappeared. Organizations must not only work harder but also be more intentional about designing a work experience that retains top talent. Feedback and recognition are not just perks. They should be built into the workplace experience, so employees know their contributions matter and feel motivated to keep excelling. Employees thrive when they receive regular, positive feedback for good performance, not just corrective feedback for mistakes. Human behavior is universal, therefore, can be predictable. Successful companies leverage the science behind that, along with gamification, to make work more interactive, rewarding, and effective. Leaders can intentionally design work environments that create the right behaviors, motivation, and employee satisfaction, creating an employee experience where people want to stay and do their best. Purpose makes the job meaningful. While a paycheck matters, today's employees want a sense of purpose and belonging. When leaders ignore these needs, employees feel unmotivated and disconnected. Plus, Shep and Jimmy share more insights from his new book, The Engagement Architecture, on why teams underperform and how leaders can design an environment that changes that. Tune in! Quote: "Workplaces that are mundane, repetitive, and have high attrition need to architect a system that is engaging, rewarding, and provides recognition. This is what drives performance, productivity, and retention." About: Jimmy Chebat is the founder and CEO of ZIZO Technologies. With over twenty years in frontline operations, his book The Engagement Architecture guides leaders on designing environments that improve team performance.

Gamification is often reduced to points, badges, leaderboards, or a PowerPoint version of Jeopardy. The activity may be entertaining, but entertainment alone does not prepare people to perform differently when they return to work.In this episode of Lessons from Learning Leaders, I talk with Moe Ash about what meaningful gamification looks like when it is grounded in instructional design, behavioral science, and real performance needs.Moe's path into learning and development was anything but planned. Growing up in Cairo, Egypt, he struggled with public speaking and originally imagined a career with the United Nations. An unexpected experience at Model United Nations pushed him to speak in front of a room, and his later work with UNESCO gave him more opportunities to develop that ability.A chance invitation eventually brought him into training, although he quickly discovered that his real interest was behind the scenes. Moe wanted to research, create content, build systems, and design the experience rather than spend all his time delivering it. That interest eventually led him to found The Catalyst, an instructional design company specializing in gamified learning experiences, simulations, business board games, and train-the-trainer programs.Much of our conversation focuses on what gamification actually means. Moe describes it as using elements from games to encourage a learner toward a particular action, behavior, or outcome. The goal is not to make training look playful. The goal is to create a structured environment in which learners make decisions, experience consequences, solve problems, and practice something they will need to do later.We also discuss why so many learning games miss the mark. A trivia game may help participants recall information, but it rarely shows whether they can apply a process or make a sound decision. When a game rewards speed, memorization, or collecting points instead of the behavior the organization needs, the design may be working against the learning objective.Moe explains his PENTA framework for helping learning professionals move from an objective to a workable game concept. It guides designers through five areas:* Why: What should the experience help learners accomplish?* How: What mechanics, interactions, and structures will shape the game?* Story: What setting, characters, or conflict will give the experience meaning?* Experience: What will learners see, feel, and interact with?* Nudge: What will sustain participation and guide learners toward the intended behavior?We also talk about systems thinking, the role of behavioral science, and why the most important part of a learning game may be what happens after it ends. A good design gives participants a way to take the reasoning, decisions, and behaviors they practiced during the game and use them in the workplace.This conversation is a useful reminder that gamification should never begin with the question, “How can we make this more fun?” It should begin with what learners need to do differently and what kind of experience will help them get there.Connect with Moe AshVisit The Catalyst to learn more about its gamified learning experiences, board game simulations, e-learning solutions, and public programs.Connect with Moe on LinkedIn, where he regularly shares ideas about gamification, instructional design, behavioral science, and learning experience design.Read The Eureka Experience, Moe and The Catalyst's newsletter on learning design, gamification, and the realities of building learning that improves performance.Visit Moe's personal page for additional information about his work and projects.Email: info@thecatalystexperience.comShare this episode with a trainer, instructional designer, or facilitator who wants to move beyond trivia and build learning games that support real performance.

What if training your employees and leaders together was the fastest path to better performance and results? In this episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, Nicole Greer sits down with manufacturing leader and executive coach Luca Romano to discuss how training with Nicole and using the TILT assessment and SHINE Methodology gave him a structure for developing his team without making it personal or emotional.This conversation dives into key topics such as work culture, leadership, business strategy, team communication, and effective management practices, including how SHINE and TILT worked alongside EOS and Traction to help Luca's team increase on-time delivery from 51 percent to 91 percent in under two years.In this episode, you'll learn:How to train employees and leaders to improve performance and resultsHow the TILT assessment gives teams a shared language for behavior changeHow the SHINE methodology builds self-assessment into everyday leadershipWhat most leaders get wrong about training time and team developmentThis episode is for leaders, managers, business owners, and professionals who want to improve communication, strengthen organizational culture, and grow in their careers.Learn more about Vibrant Culture & how Nicole Greer can help your team succeed (like she did with Luca)
Most of us have sat through an inclusion training program that didn't change much—maybe a workshop, a follow-up email, and then it's back to normal. But what happens when an organization moves past the standard checkboxes and actually puts Cultural Intelligence (CQ) to work? In this special LinkedIn Live episode of Truth, Lies & Work, we dive deep into the framework of CQ—an evidence-based, academically validated skill that measures your ability to relate to and work effectively alongside people from different cultural backgrounds. We look at a remarkable real-world case study at Barts Health NHS Trust. By training thousands of staff members across their workforce, they achieved measurable improvements in staff engagement, team dynamics, and patient care in one of the most pressurized environments imaginable. Following the structural approach seen in our Show notes example, this episode breaks down how leaders of any size organization can use CQ to reduce toxic conflict, improve retention, and build a workplace where everyone belongs.
Opportunistic Grazing is a term used to maximize forage grazed on marginal land for heifer development. Research work completed in Wisconsin nearly a decade ago and recently published defined the differences between heifers reared on pasture for 6 months annually vs those housed in confinement year-round. Heifer development is the second most expensive portion of the dairy enterprise, and feed going into your replacements is the easiest metric to change. Simply by rotating the females between pastures every 2-4 days during optimum grazing conditions, this data suggests a return of nearly 2700 lbs milk during her first lactation when compared to the ‘couch potato' counterpart on TMR. Listen in today to learn about what observations to expect, how to be responsive and nimble to weather while decreasing cost of production. Additionally, researchers Ken Kalscheur and Carlos Camisa Nova provides a sneak peek at future research being conducted to better understand what is changing in the heifer to improve first lactation performance.

Microdosing is everywhere right now, but most people are doing it completely wrong. In this conversation with Paul Austin, founder of Third Wave and author of Mastering Microdosing, we dive deep into why the sub-perceptual model everyone talks about misses the mark, how microdosing differs fundamentally from meditation (and why that matters), and what the latest clinical research actually shows. We explore the overlooked power of intention, the neuroscience of the 5-HT2A receptor, and why Albert Hoffman may have been onto something for those final 30 years of his life. If you're curious about psychedelics but don't know where to start, or if you're already exploring this space, this episode cuts through the noise. 00:00 Microdosing: Most People Are Doing It Wrong03:51 What Is Microdosing?

The voice in our head can be an asset at times - but also kind of a jerk at the worst possible moments. And like that one person in the “quiet car” of the train that doesn't seem to understand the rules, it never seems to be quiet when we need it to.A 2014 study identified a self-talk strategy that led to improved performances, and less post-performance shame and rumination.And it doesn't require us to shush the inner critic entirely (whew, because that's really difficult!).

Real leaders. In the rain. Still celebrating. In this behind-the-scenes joy experiment, I take you to Disneyland with three of my closest friends—including one who witnessed the birth of the Joyosity book idea… from a raft. We talk about why celebration matters, why leaders resist it, how play actually works in real adult life (hint: it's not all spontaneous whimsy), and the real fear we have of joy. Sprinkled throughout: a Star Wars ride, soaked clothes, a debate about cringe, deep laughter, and research-backed insights you can use tomorrow. Here's What's in the Episode: 5:52 Celebration isn't extra—it's a strategic reset. Intentional celebration helps your brain overcome negativity bias and reinforces evidence that you can do hard things. Leaders need this more than they think. 8:27 Play is a productivity tool, not a luxury. Whether it's crafting, hiking, or joking with coworkers, play restores innovation, problem-solving, and emotional resilience. When leaders don't play, they get stuck. Literally. 17:11 Childlike ≠ childish. Childish behavior derails workplaces (tantrums, gossip, baby-talk politics). Childlike behavior brings curiosity, wonder, creativity, and openness to “what if?” — the soil where innovation grows. Key Takeaway Play, rest, and celebration aren't indulgences; they're performance tools that keep leaders (and teams) from getting stuck. About the Guests: A Quorum of the March Girls These women are real-life leaders throughout the country. Camille leads an area for a global nonprofit, Jen is a PhD science educator and program consultant, and Sarah is a pediatric occupational therapist with a neonatal specialty. The four of us, plus Lindsay a trainer to professional athletes, have been friends for more than 30 years. So this is the behind the scenes of real-life leaders celebrating at Disneyland. About the Host: Jenn Whitmer Jenn is an international keynote speaker, leadership consultant, and the founder of Joyosity™, helping leaders create positive, profitable cultures through connection, curiosity, and joy.

We got way too invested in dog food models before this amazing episode! The main topic was a new study on passive heat training (like the hot tub or sauna) that acts as a missing link between theory and real-world proof. The study found that 5 weeks of hot tub training increases hemoglobin mass and VO2 max, which coincides with improved running economy. WOW! We break it all down.And this one was full of incredible topics! Topics: a date night game that should have stayed in date night, Hans Troyer and Jade Belzberg's wins at the JFK 50 Mile, hard hill strides to break through neuromuscular lulls, questions on heat training, unexpected events and prosocial behavior (including a study involving Batman), a 47-year study on athletic aging, persistence hunting science (and how that relates to human responses to heat), influencers, traveling with gels, stacking training plans, pre-wedding advice, and lots more!If there's one takeaway from the science in this episode, it's this: BATMAN. It will make sense soon.We love you all!

Andrew Mawson, Founder and Managing Director of Advanced Workplace Associates, explores how organizations can enhance performance, especially by helping employees better manage their brain capacity. Andrew shares six evidence-based factors most impacting knowledge worker productivity. He discusses the neuroscience-researched factors affecting brain function and performance. Andrew offers actionable leadership guidance to reduce mental load, enhance employee well-being and resilience, and achieve sustainable results. TAKEAWAYS Chapter 1: Andrew's Early Career [01:18] Andrew studies applied statistics finding it useful, later describing reality through numbers. [01:59] Working in tech and defence, Andrew then joins Fujitsu and leads a program on intelligent buildings. [02:47] Intelligent building initiatives aim to increase computing adoption and data integration. [04:54] Advanced Workplace Associates is founded to bring a business- and people-focused lens to workplace strategy. Chapter 2: Six Key Factors of Knowledge Worker Productivity [07:31] Analysis of past research identifies top factors impacting knowledge worker productivity. [09:28] Factor 1: Social cohesion emerges as the top factor boosting collaboration and innovation. [10:43] Factor 2: perceived supervisory support with leaders tailoring their approach for each person. [11:41] Factor 3: Information sharing enables a culture of openness, countering knowledge-hoarding. [11:59] Factor 4: vision clarity helps employees connect their work to the team and corporate purpose. [12:45] Factor 5: external communication makes teams challenge their ideas and be open to others' views. [13:29] Factor 6: Trust underpins all factors, fostering belief that leaders and colleagues do the right thing. [15:10] Leaders must create a level of certainty to reduce employee anxiety despite external turmoil. [16:21] Social cohesion usefully creates a buffer during uncertain times, enhancing resilience. Chapter 3: Research into Brain Performance [17:16] Humans are individual brains – research identifies 14 key factors to optimise performance. [18:42] Sleep (7.5 hours) is key for brain performance, with quality and preparation critical enablers. [19:50] Hydration, exercise, and a good diet—with breakfast—are also essential for cognitive health. [21:39] Leaders must recognize that lifestyle habits affect their team's productivity and wellbeing. [23:00] AWA is running a cohort trial to educate leaders on brain health and track performance. [23:57] After baselining, coaching how to integrate new habits and track performance. Chapter 4: Cognitive Capacity & Managing Load [24:56] Recognising finite brain capacity, environments can be designed to reduce mental loads. [25:55] Everyone can better manage their well-being and outcomes using workspace that increases capacity. [28:10] A story of making tea illustrates how cognitive load varies by individual and context. [29:37] Brains are managing humans' entire systems unconsciously, consuming much energy. [30:20] Personal stressors, such as family and finances, compound work demands and brain strain. [31:24] Leaders need to monitor workload and not exceed employees' brains' capacity limits. [32:34] When excessive load get to a point that it blocks capacity for planning and logic. [33:26] Managers and employees can manage load together to restore cognitive function quickly. [34:13] Organizations are communities of connected brains aiming to optimise knowledge flow. [35:05] All six factors are linked and applied together can improve productivity and wellbeing. Chapter 5: How Leaders can Improve Performance [36:26] Leaders need to better understand how the brain works to enable high-performing teams. [37:07] Most managers lack vital training; the six factors offer a useful playbook for leaders. [38:17] How many managers believe social cohesion is their responsibility? [38:58] Competitive pressures between teams create division and undermine collaboration. [39:54] Leaders must promote and model trust and social cohesion to cultivate environments that enable success. RESOURCES Andrew Mawson on LinkedIn Advanced Workplace Associates (AWA) website QUOTES "The name of the game is to get everybody as socially cohesive as possible to allow fluidity of movement, of knowledge and, and collision of knowledge." "[External communication is] the idea that you should expose your knowledge and your brain to other things…. going to other places and have other people challenge your understanding so that your understandings remain fresh." "Humans have got a finite capacity and how that capacity is loaded and eaten into is also another important part of the jigsaw." "Organizations really are communities of connected brains…I think the first thing the leaders need to do is understand more about the brain." "Brains are the unit of production going forward in the world of knowledge work." "We are all actually different…We should be trying to create an environment and giving people knowledge about the status of different spaces and things in the places in the building so they can go and choose." "The duty of a leader is to try to create a level of certainty, create a vision, and create a direction of travel that is almost independent of the turmoil that's going on."

The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Hollywood and the media often paint a glamorous, high-speed picture of police work. But as Len Herstein, a Reserve Deputy in Colorado, reveals, the truth is far more complex, and far more human. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's far more boring, far more dangerous, and far more impactful on your mental and physical health than most people realize,” Len says during a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, now available on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. This is The Truth About Being a Cop, a story about service, sacrifice, and the lessons policing can teach us all about vigilance, leadership, and life. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Late Calling to Serve At age 45, Len Herstein traded business meetings for patrol briefings. After decades in marketing and entrepreneurship, he joined the Douglas County Sheriff's Office as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff, a volunteer position that requires up to 850 hours of service per year. The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast “I do police work for free,” Len explains. “People think I'm crazy when they hear that, but for me, it's about giving back. It's about being part of the solution.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Douglas County, Colorado is located between Denver and Colorado Springs, it is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state. For Len, it's also a classroom for learning lessons that reach far beyond the badge. “Complacency Kills” — The Lesson That Changed Everything Early in his training, Len learned one of the most important principles in law enforcement: “Complacency kills.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “When you stop paying attention, when you assume things are safe, that's when the danger strikes,” he says. “That lesson hit me hard, and it applies to every part of life and business.” This revelation became the inspiration behind his book, Be Vigilant! Strategies to Stop Complacency, Improve Performance, and Safeguard Success, where Len connects lessons from policing to the world of leadership and marketing. The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Lessons for Business, Marketing, and Leadership Before becoming a Deputy, Len spent more than 30 years in the corporate world, building brands for Coca-Cola, Campbell Soup Company, and Nabisco. He later founded ManageCamp Inc., where he produced 19 annual Brand ManageCamp marketing conferences, attracting leaders from companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. But his time in law enforcement taught him something no boardroom ever could. “Policing forces you to be aware, to anticipate threats before they appear,” Len says. “That's exactly what businesses need to survive in today's world. Complacency can be fatal, whether you're on the street or in the C-suite.” His blend of law enforcement experience and marketing expertise has made him a sought-after speaker and thought leader, teaching organizations how to build vigilance into their culture and operations. Why Complacency Is the Real Enemy “Success can be deadly,” Len explains. “When things are going well, you stop looking for threats. You stop improving.” The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. He warns that complacency doesn't just affect performance, it affects people. It can lower morale, waste money, and create the kind of blind spots that competitors exploit. “The same mindset that keeps a cop alive can keep a company thriving,” Len adds. “Vigilance isn't paranoia, it's preparation.” These lessons resonate across industries, especially in a digital landscape where Facebook, Instagram, and social media marketing can shift overnight. “Online, one wrong move can damage your brand,” he says. “Vigilance protects both reputations and relationships.” The Human Side of the Badge Herstein's experience as a Reserve Deputy in Colorado also sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll of the job. “You see the best and worst of humanity, sometimes in the same shift,” he shares. “It's not just about enforcing laws; it's about understanding people, de-escalating conflict, and protecting those who can't protect themselves.” He believes those same principles, humility, empathy, and awareness, are vital for leaders in every field. “If you lead a team, you're responsible for their safety and success,” he says. “That's what policing teaches you every single day.” The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado.

Season 25, Episode 84 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby Schindler, and Craig Brotman on Racket Personalization and Tennis Tech EvolutionIn this fascinating episode of the GoTennis Podcast, hosts Shaun Boyce and Bobby Schindler sit down with Craig Brotman, a renowned tennis racket stringing and customization expert based in Roswell, GA. Craig shares his journey from a ranked junior player in Maryland to a key figure on the pro tennis tour, where he customizes equipment for top players like Taylor Townsend, Donald Young, and Marin Cilic. Moving to Atlanta in 1993 for its vibrant tennis scene, Craig dives into the technical side of the sport, offering a unique perspective on how rackets and strings impact performance. From debunking myths about off-the-shelf pro rackets to explaining why polyester strings harm recreational players, this episode is packed with insights on equipment's role in preventing injuries and elevating play. Tune in to hear Craig's stories from the tour, his take on the evolution of tennis technology, and why personalized rackets are as crucial as fitted golf clubs.

Tensions range from 19 lbs (Mannarino) to mid-40s on average.Personalization is Key: Like fitted golf clubs, rackets must match a player's style and level. Craig watches players hit to adjust weight, balance, and strings, enhancing control and reducing strain.Injury Prevention: Mismatched equipment, not technique, often causes “tennis elbow.” Proper fitting can eliminate the need for medical interventions like cortisone shots.Club Player Focus: Recreational players benefit most from tailored gear, as lessons alone can't overcome equipment limitations, with Craig demoing pro setups (e.g., Cilic's US Open racket) to prove...

Send us a textTake the Health Type QuizSwearing might not just be an emotional release—it could actually boost athletic performance and increase pain tolerance. In this episode, we dive into fascinating research showing that strategically dropping swear words could make you stronger, push your endurance further, and even help you tolerate pain more effectively. But is it the words themselves or their taboo nature that makes the difference? We explore the science, the theories behind it, and how this connects to the mind-body relationship we discussed back in Episode #5.Dr. Bobby shares studies showing how grunting enhances performance in tennis and weightlifting, with grunting increasing ball speed by 5% and muscle force by 20% (study). But swearing takes things up a notch: in anaerobic performance tests, swearing every three seconds led to a 4.5% increase in power output, an 8% boost in grip strength, and a staggering 22% improvement in wall sit endurance (study). The research also links swearing to increased pain tolerance, with one study showing a 20% improvement in cold endurance when participants submerged their hands in ice water while swearing (study).So why does this work? We examine three key theories:Physiological response: Does swearing trigger a fight-or-flight response? The evidence says no—heart rate and blood pressure remain unchanged.Psychological arousal: Some researchers believe swearing might activate the brain's amygdala, increasing confidence and reducing self-imposed limits.Pain tolerance theory: Swearing may act as a mental distraction, shifting focus away from discomfort and allowing for greater exertion.Dr. Bobby even put this to the test in his own “N of 1” experiment during a run—grunting didn't help, fake swear words did nothing, but real swearing momentarily reduced his perception of fatigue.Takeaways:Swearing during high-intensity effort can significantly boost strength and endurance, but the effect is diminished if you swear regularly.The power of swearing may come from its taboo nature, making it an unexpected distraction that reduces pain perception.You might not want to try this loudly in a public gym, but experimenting with your own N of 1 study (perhaps at home) could be revealing.Want to push past perceived limits? Maybe it's time to embrace a well-placed expletive. Try it for yourself and let me know—just don't tell my grandson.Live long, well, and powerful—maybe even a little more powerful with a swear word or twoWant coaching from Dr. Bobby? Information here

But are we doomed to be this way? Or is it possible to create a world where cooperation and peace are the norm?Join Dave as he talks to NYU professor Jay van Bavel about the deeper mechanisms at work when it comes to group conflict (and how to avoid it), and with Zen Buddhism teacher Larry Ward about how the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village Tradition can help all of us to heal and foster a more equitable and caring world.Jay Van Bavel is co-author (with Dominic Packer) of The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony. Find out more about Jay's work on his website.Larry Ward is a co-founder of The Lotus Institute and host of the podcast Beyond the News, which explores current events through the lens of Buddhism and neuroscience. He is also the author of America's Racial Karma: An Invitation to Heal.The gathas heard in this episode are taken from Thich Nhat Hanh's book Peace Is Every Breath: A Practice for Our Busy Lives. Dave also makes reference to the 14 mindfulness trainings, which can be found in the book Interbeing, 4th Edition: The 14 Mindfulness Trainings of Engaged Buddhism.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Mike T. Nelson, a self-described research fanatic who has more than two decades of experience studying and obsessing over how the human body works. Dr. Mike has a Ph.D. in exercise physiology, a master's degree in mechanical engineering, and is an associate professor at the Carrick Institute and a university instructor at Rocky Mountain University. He's also the creator of the Flex Diet and Physiologic Flexibility Certifications, has published research in both physiology and engineering scientific journals, and has even been asked to share his techniques with top military agencies. Today, Dr. Mike and I go deep into the research and practical applications of heart rate variability. HRV has gained popularity as a performance metric, but after listening to our conversation, you'll have a much broader understanding of HRV, how to apply it to your life (whether you're athletic or not), and ways to improve your HRV score.

In this solo cast episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin shares deep insights on why group work is essential for practitioners in the psychedelic space. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-281/?ref=278 Drawing from Richard Rohr's essay on liminality and his own transformative experiences at Synthesis, Paul explores how collective psychedelic experiences create powerful containers for growth and transformation. He emphasizes three core aspects of effective group work—embodiment, nature connectedness, and community—while making a compelling case for why practitioners must "walk the walk" through their own guided group experiences before supporting others. Highlights: Liminality and its relationship to psychedelic experiences Personal story of group experience at Synthesis retreat The importance of "walking the walk" as practitioners Three core aspects of retreat work: embodiment, nature connectedness, and community The significance of choosing the right community for growth Guidance for practitioners considering group experiences Episode Links: Third Wave's Psychedelic Intensive in Costa Rica The Psychedelic Coaching Institute's Practitioner Certification Program ‘Between Two Worlds' by Richard Rohr Paul F. Austin is one of the most prominent voices in the world of psychedelics, and is the author of Mastering Microdosing: How to Use Sub-Perceptual Psychedelics to Heal Trauma, Improve Performance, and Transform Your Life. As the founder of Third Wave and Psychedelic Coaching Institute, he has educated millions on the importance of safe and effective psychedelic experiences. A pioneer at the intersection of microdosing, personal transformation, and professional success, he has been featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife. Paul helps others use microdosing as a tool for professional development and increased self-awareness by treating the use of psychedelics as a skill refined through mentorship and courageous exploration. Learning how to master this skill will be crucial in the story of humanity's present-future evolution.

Prepare to explore the groundbreaking realm of microdosing psychedelics with Paul Austin, a leading figure in the modern psychedelic movement, known for his mission to harness these substances to enhance mental health and personal growth. As the founder of The Third Wave, Paul is dedicated to educating others on the transformative potential of psychedelics, promoting their safe and intentional use to unlock creativity, boost performance, and improve well-being. In this episode, we delve into the possible effects of microdosing to inspire behavioral change, deepen spiritual awareness, and sharpen focus. Paul also shares his experiences with psychedelics and how they've contributed to his healing journey and expanded sense of consciousness. Join us for this eye-opening discussion as we explore how psychedelics might influence modern life and expand our understanding of human experience! “Microdosing is a very low dose of a psychedelic, and it's typically defined as a sub-perceptual or even sub-intoxicating dose level—about a tenth of a regular or therapeutic dose of psychedelics. And the key with microdosing is that it's done two or three times per week over a period of 30 to 45 to 60 days. We, as humans, we've been using psychedelics for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, but largely, they've been used in ceremonial, shamanic, very high-dose containers to connect with God or source or a greater power. And microdosing is much more nascent in its discovery. It's only been talked about for the last really 10 or 15 years. And so it's a totally new take on an ancient practice.” - Paul Austin What we discuss in this episode: - What psychedelics are, how they work, and what qualifies as a microdose. - The differences and commonalities between LSD, psilocybin, and ayahuasca. - Paul's first experience with LSD and how it shaped his perspective. - The role of psychedelics in spirituality. - Paul's advice for those considering microdosing. - Safety considerations when microdosing. - The impact of microdosing on creativity and focus. - Microdosing's relationship with serotonin and its potential effects on depression. - The influence of psychedelics on ego dissolution.

Why do we side with a political party? How do social identity and partisanship play in today's politics? Why do we view the other side as the problem? Author and researcher Dr. Jay Van Bavel explores the psychology and neuroscience behind why our brains think the way we do and how we can overcome the toxic polarization in this upcoming election. Dr. Jay Van Bavel is a co-author of “The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony” and a Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University, an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations, Director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab.From neurons to social networks, Jay's research examines how social identities and morality shape the mind, brain, and behavior. His work addresses issues of group dynamics, cooperation, intergroup bias, social media, and public health. He studies these issues using a combination of neuroimaging, social cognition, and computational social science. Dr. Van Bavel has published over 150 scientific publications and co-authored a mentoring column, called Letters to Young Scientists, for Science Magazine. He has written about his research for The New York Times, BBC, The Atlantic, Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal, Guardian, LA Times, and The Washington Post and his work has appeared in academic papers as well as in the U.S. Supreme Court and Senate.Thank you to Starts with Us for their collaboration on this series.
