#172 Anne-Laure Le Cunff - Entrepreneur and Founder of Ness Labs, PhD Neuroscience student
Today we spoke with Anne-Laure Le Cunff - Entrepreneur and Founder of Ness Labs, PhD Neuroscience student - and ex-Googler.
Anne-Laure worked at Google, promoting digital health products, and is now back in school studying the brain; she is a PhD researcher at King's College London investigating how different brains learn differently, with a focus on supporting neurodiversity in online learning. She is the founder of Ness Labs, a little corner of the Internet where ambitious and curious minds come together to achieve their goals without sacrificing their mental health. It's packed with content, a thriving community, and coaching based on the science of learning, creativity, and productivity.
Her very popular newsletter has highly practical content at the intersection of neuroscience, entrepreneurship, and education; we both are subscribers! Some of the topics include cognitive biases, mental models, learning how to learn, mindful productivity, and mental health at work. Reminds us of Trever Ragan of The Learner Lab, episode #64.
Today we spoke about her journey from Google to Ness Labs and Kings, burnout - and what she does now for her own self care. Anne-Laure unpacked habits, routines and rituals, how they are different...and what her typical hybrid week looks like - of PhD work, and building her business, Ness Labs. Many things came up in this conversation, from Stephen Hawking and Salvador Dali, to a goat in a cabin in a forest. It was fun, and we learned loads!
