The Michael Peres Podcast

A Conversation with Dr. Tere Linzey


Listen Later

Michael Peres is joined by Dr. Tere Linzey, licensed educational psychologist and founder of BrainMatterZ, a program that helps kids and teens strengthen auditory processing, executive functioning, attention, and memory. With 30+ years in education and research experience at places like Harvard and UC Berkeley, Dr. Linzey now runs a private practice in Carmel and Santa Barbara, focusing on practical, science-backed ways to optimize the brain so students can actually thrive in school and life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How playing and coaching college basketball laid the foundation for Dr. Linzey’s “brain coaching” approach today
• Why she sees muscles and brains as trained in almost the exact same way
• How BrainMatterZ helps kids improve attention, processing, and memory with fun, repeatable exercises instead of boring drills
• What parents get wrong (and right) about focus, “laziness,” and motivation in kids
• How executive functioning really works and why it’s the hidden engine behind school success
• Where AI and future tech might intersect with brain training, learning, and human potential
