Frustration, fatigue, lack of focus…what you’re experiencing isn’t a character flaw. It’s a signal from your brain and body.

In this episode of Liberty Spenders™, Kurt sits down with Eric Collett, CEO of A Mind For All Seasons, for a powerful conversation on how brain health relates to faith, emotions, and performance.

Eric explains why emotions are often physiological symptoms (not personal identity) and how optimizing brain health can radically improve decision-making, leadership capacity, work performance, energy levels, and spiritual connection while also reducing long-term risk for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.

They unpack the idea of the brain as hardware, the role of fuel, hydration, and cellular exhaust, and why living by design instead of default changes everything.

This episode is especially meaningful for faith-driven leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and high-capacity professionals who feel stuck, burned out, foggy, or disconnected.

Key Takeaways:

Why emotions are signals, not labels (and how misreading them hurts performance)

How brain health affects leadership, decision-making, marriage, and parenting

The hardware vs. software analogy that explains burnout and diminishing returns

Why caring for your body strengthens focus, discipline, and spiritual clarity

How proactive brain health leads to greater energy, resilience, clarity, and joy

These frameworks speak directly to stewardship, sustainable performance, leadership effectiveness, and long-term cognitive health–especially in an increasingly AI-driven world where human clarity, judgment, and focus matter more than ever.
