Andrea Samadi revisits her 2019 conversation with neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius to explore practical neuroscience strategies for better productivity, well-being, and workplace happiness. On this episode, we'll learn: ✔ Why only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs, and what we can do to change that. ✔ How to use neuroscience to reach peak performance or flow with your work. Neuroscientist and neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius shows us how three simple ingredients—FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS—can help us find flow and peak performance at work. We'll also explore why men and women often respond differently to stress, how to identify your unique neurosignature, and practical ways to design a workplace (and a life) that helps your brain thrive ✔ Learn the three key ingredients for flow—fun, fear (challenge), and focus—how the stress–performance curve affects apathy and burnout. ✔ Why tailoring roles to individual neurosignatures (dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, estrogen) can unlock peak performance. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 373, we continue our journey into our mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. We moved onto EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, where we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Next we went deeper into our mind and brain with EP 371 and 72 where we with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel and his Mindsight concept, which is the same idea as Theory of Mind, or seeing the mind in another. All of these episodes are helping us to further sharpen of minds and brains, and connect better with others,  for improved productivity and success in our work and personal lives. For today's EP 373, we go back to EP 27[iv], recorded October 2019, with pioneer in neuroleadership, neuroscientist, Friederike Fabritius[v], from Germany. On this episode, we covered her book, The Leading Brain: Neuroscience Hacks to Work Smarter, Better and Happier. Friederike returned again to the podcast, for EP 258[vi] recorded in November 2022 advancing our conversation with her next book, The Brain Friendly Workplace. Both of these interviews covered important tips that I think we should all take into consideration to be happier, and therefore, more productive at work. Going along with our theme-that if we don't like what's going on outside of ourselves, let's dive deeper into understanding how our brain and minds work. Which brings us back to FRIEDERIKE FABRITIUS, MS, is a neuroscientist and pioneer in the field of neuroleadership. She trained at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and is an alumna of McKinsey & Company (helping organizations to create change).  Friederike delivers brain-based leadership programs to Fortune 500 executives and organizations around the globe to transform how they think, innovate, and navigate change. I'm always looking for productivity tips that we can all use, and it's clear that stress in our workplaces is at an all-time high, globally. We know that “2/3 of people report being stressed at work, to the point they can't sleep at night”[vii]  and in our first clip, Friederike reports that “only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs” and that “40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs.” I think there has to be another way to find balance here. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Let's listen to Friederike's clip on: Why FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS Matter for Flow & Peak Performance  “Only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs. That's insane. And 40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs. And (she thinks)  it can be that simple. That everyone can be happy at their jobs. All you need are three simple things. (Friederike calls them ) FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS. And it has to do with a certain mix of neurochemicals in our brain. When we are having fun at work (not the after work party kind of fun) where you have fun after the work is done. I'm thinking of having fun related to the task at hand. And when we are having fun, our brains release a neurochemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a real brain booster. It makes you think faster. It helps you to do everything a bit speedier and better, and makes us more creative.”

If you were given some of the worst news in the world, wouldn't you expect your doctors to use every tool available?What if one of those tools could save millions of lives—and the science is already here?The world's largest medical cannabis and cancer study—10,000 papers, ranked in the top 5% globally—shows overwhelming evidence that cannabis has medical benefits. If fully embraced, its impact on patients and medicine could be transformative. As science continues to unfold, sometimes it takes skeptics to dive deep and uncover what's truly there, even when powerful interests push back.This week we sit down with Ryan Castle, Research Director at Whole Health Oncology Institute, to discuss:Medical cannabis: efficacy, placebo, and why it matters less than you thinkHow this study is being used in rescheduling effortsHow vested interests fuel anti-cannabis researchChapters00:00 Introduction to Medical Cannabis Research03:06 Ryan Castle's Journey into Cannabis Research05:58 The Meta-Analysis Process Explained09:00 Understanding the Data and Its Implications11:54 Skepticism and the Shift in Perspective15:01 Consensus in Medical Cannabis Research18:04 Nuances in Cancer Treatment and Cannabis20:55 Biomarkers and Inflammatory Responses22:56 Exploring Cannabis and Cancer Outcomes29:37 Bridging the Gap: Patient-Reported Outcomes35:32 The Future of Medical Cannabis Research45:34 The Cancer Playbook: Empowering Patients SummaryIn this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney engage with Ryan Castle, Research Director at Whole Health Oncology Institute, to explore the evolving landscape of medical cannabis research. Ryan shares his journey from skepticism to advocacy, detailing the extensive meta-analysis he conducted on the efficacy of cannabis in treating various symptoms and conditions, particularly in oncology. The conversation delves into the challenges of measuring effectiveness, the importance of patient-reported outcomes, and the need for a shift in medical perspectives towards cannabis as a legitimate treatment option. Ryan emphasizes the potential impact of policy changes and the importance of transparency in research, while also discussing the Cancer Playbook initiative aimed at empowering patients with data-driven insights. TakeawaysRyan Castle initially set out to prove that cannabis doesn't work.His extensive research revealed that cannabis is effective for a wide range of conditions.The meta-analysis included over 10,000 studies and 800,000 data points.Cannabis showed efficacy not just for symptoms but also for cancer treatment.Patient-reported outcomes are crucial for understanding cannabis effectiveness.The study found that cannabis can help reduce opioid dependency.There is a significant need for a shift in medical perspectives on cannabis.Transparency in research is essential for building trust in findings.The health impact assessment could reveal the broader benefits of cannabis.The Cancer Playbook initiative aims to empower patients with data-driven insights.Guest Linkshttps://wholehealthoncologyinstitute.com/Our LinksBryan Fields on TwitterKellan Finney on TwitterThe Dime on TwitterExtraction Teams: Want to cut costs and get more out of every run?

In today's episode, I'm diving into something you probably don't hear about very often: how your professional success (or any kind of success) might actually be leading you to overeat.I know it sounds strange at first, but after working with hundreds of high-achieving women (and experiencing this myself), I've seen this pattern play out over and over again. Success brings pressure, long to-do lists, high expectations, and constant busyness. And when we're always “on,” food often becomes the one outlet we allow ourselves… whether as a reward, a quick escape, or simply because we're running on empty.Here's what I cover in this episode:Why success-driven overeating is sneakier than you thinkHow skipping meals all day leads to overeating at nightThe real reason we use food as a “reward” (and how to break that cycle)Why relying on coffee and forgetting to eat disconnects you from your hunger cuesHow perfectionism keeps you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycleThis episode is an eye-opener, and I promise it will help you create awareness around your own patterns so you can finally change them. You are not “addicted to food” or “lacking willpower” — your brain is simply seeking relief, and together we'll explore healthier ways to give it what it needs.If you've ever found yourself overeating after a long, stressful day or telling yourself “I deserve this” after a big win, this one is for you.Links & Resources:Apply for coaching: HEREFollow Angela on Instagram: HERE

But what if the biggest opportunity in your business is already on your books?This episode was sparked by a DM I got asking: “How do I market to my existing clients?” And honestly… what a bloody great question.Because the clients you've already got? They're the ones most likely to buy again, refer you, and sing your praises. (If you're doing it right, that is.)In this episode, I unpack why focusing on your current clients can be one of the most powerful (and underused) strategies in your marketing toolkit.Whether it's onboarding, offboarding or all those moments in between — there's gold in your client journey if you know where to look.Key Topics Covered:Why marketing to existing clients matters more than you thinkHow to map out your client journey and identify key touch pointsOnboarding strategies that build trust and loyaltyOffboarding tactics that lead to referrals and repeat businessHow to create memorable experiences with your unique brand touchWays to automate nurturing post-project or post-purchaseUsing testimonials, case studies and feedback as marketing toolsOne Key Takeaway: It's easier (and cheaper) to keep a client than win a new one.
