The Science of Staying Rad (Forever)
What happens when humanity collides with artificial intelligence, and the real bottleneck isn’t technology, but the human brain itself?
In this fascinating conversation, neuroscientist, AI strategist, and Flow Research Collective Chief Science Officer Dr. Michael Mannino joins Gillian to explore one of the most exciting frontiers in performance science: interpersonal synchrony.
From classrooms and corporate boardrooms to elite esports teams and therapeutic relationships, Michael explains how our brains, bodies, and behaviors literally synchronize when we’re connected – and why those moments of alignment predict trust, cooperation, learning, creativity, and performance. Together they explore the neuroscience of team flow, embodied cognition, intuition, dopamine, decision-making, and the surprising role of the vagus nerve in helping us navigate an increasingly complex world.
