In this special episode, I share the AI Audio 17 minute synopsis by two completely digital voices as they have coffee chat about the book Pause: Harnessing the Life-Changing Power of Giving Yourself a Break - from Google’s new NotebookLM.

The results? Pretty surreal. Surprising. Spot-on. Pause-worthy!

Whether you're an AI enthusiast or just need a real reason to stop spinning in overdrive, this episode gives you:

• 🧘 The timeless leadership lessons from Pause, now filtered through Google’s AI

• ⚡️ How this book still hits, 7 years later, in the middle of our always-on tech culture

It was a lot of fun to upload the book and get this back in return in a matter of minutes - truly AMAZING and frankly, a lot of fun to listen to!

What if your next level of leadership isn’t about doing more—but rewiring how you respond under pressure? 🧠🔥

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by one of my all-time favorite thought leaders—Dr. Rick Hanson, psychologist and bestselling author of Buddha’s Brain, Resilient, and NeuroDharma—to explore how neuroscience can help you lead with strength, calm, and clarity.

💡 This is more than just a conversation—it’s a mini-masterclass in emotional intelligence and embodied leadership.

🔄 Here’s what you’ll experience:

• ✨ A 10-minute guided Pause Practice with Rick—reset your nervous system on the spot

• 🧠 Why pausing changes your brain chemistry—and how to make it a high-performance habit

• 🐍 How to work with your "reptile brain" (Hint: Feed the mouse, pet the monkey 🐭🐒)

• 🔑 The 3 essential psychological needs you must meet to feel resilient

• 🌱 How your mindset literally shifts your biology

• 💪 Rick’s recipe for building unshakable inner strength (and how many neurons you’re working with)

🎯 If you’re a leader, founder, or high performer who wants to stop reacting and start leading with calm authority—this episode is for you.
