One of the biggest questions we get here at the Flow Research Collective is some version of:

“I’m a parent and I’ve got big professional ambitions. Balancing both is tough. How do I maintain peak-performance, harness flow and crush my goals while building a family and handling everything that comes with that?”

Well, if you’re a Mum or Dad, I’ve got good news. 

We’re going to address the topic head-on. 

In this podcast episode, we’ll be joined by Gabby Reece to talk about how to maintain peak performance as a parent. 

If there’s anyone who has the art of flow and parenting down, it’s Gabby. 

Gabby is a volleyball legend, an inspirational leader, New York Times bestselling author (My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper: A Guide to the Less Than Perfect Life), wife, and mother. 

As a former professional beach volleyball player and Nike’s first female spokeswoman, she’s masterfully integrated athleticism, entrepreneurship and family life. 

As a businesswoman, she’s created HIGHX, co-founded XPT, and is an Executive Member of Laird Superfoods.

You may know Gabby’s husband, Laird Hamilton, the legendary big wave surfer.

Welcome to a new episode of the Flow Research Collective Radio with two seriously creative thinkers! 

Today, we have with us: Jason Silva and Will Kleidon.

Will Kleidon is an award-winning pioneer and futurist in the hemp and cannabis industry. Will is the founder of Ojai Energetics, a triple bottom line-driven cannabis technology company. 

Full disclosure: We are conducting research with Ojai and Steven serves on their advisory council. It is safe to say: We are fans.

Jason Silva is an Emmy-nominated and world renown TV personality, storyteller, filmmaker, and sought-after keynote speaker and futurist. 

He was the host of National Geographic documentaries: Brain Games and Origins.

You will know his talks and Shots of Awe videos on Youtube that made him widely popular in our community.

He is a long time friend of ours, here at the Flow Research Collective. 

We talk about trends about Cannabis, CBD, research. We also discuss creativity, flow, and the endocannabinoid system. 

It’s kind of a wild and choppy conversation in some respects—we went all over the place but it was fun.

This episode is part 2 of a discussion between Collective cofounder Conor Murphy, Rian Doris, and podcast host Andrew Skotzko.

The episode was originally published on the ENLIVEN podcast and that is why it is hosted by Andrew, not Rian or Steven.

In the previous episode, we have discussed the conceptual foundation for training flow states. Now, we are getting really actionable.

This episode is really a deep dive into the tools and practices that we teach.

We kick off the episode by talking about goals.

Why clear goals as a flow trigger are so crucial

How the emphasis on distraction elimination and focus for flow can be reconciled with an emphasis on group flow and collaboration

The difference between the flow cycle and the flow triggers

We are super excited about this week’s episode.

This episode is a discussion between our Chief Science Office here at Flow Research Collective, Conor Murphy, Rian Doris and Andrew Skotzko.

This one is a table turn—Andrew is actually interviewing myself and Conor for his podcast ENLIVEN—which you should check out by the way. 

Andrew is, as you’ll find out, an incredible interviewer. Due to his charm and interviewing, we ended up riffing for three hours straight on all things flow science and peak performance. 

It’s a great opportunity to get to know Rian and Conor a little better.

We talk about all sorts of things:

The programmable nature of the human condition and what knobs and levers you wanna use to program yourself for optimal functioning

Whether flow hacking is a probabilistic or mechanistic process

The role data plays in peak performance and more!

So it’s a good one. In case you are wondering… this episode is very much related to our flow training.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Adam Gazzaley, a world-renowned neuroscientist and advisor of the Flow Research Collective. 

In the first few minutes of the episode, Steven explains why he believes Dr. Gazzaley is at the forefront of understanding flow triggers as well as flow blockers.

His book ‘The Distracted Mind’ has shown why our brains aren't built for media multitasking, and how we can learn to live with technology in a more balanced way.

Lets quickly recap some flow 101 knowledge for context before we dive in.

Flow states have triggers or pre-conditions that lead to more flow. 

Essentially, flow can only arise when all of our attention is focused in the present moment, so that’s what these triggers do—they drive attention into the here and now.

On the podcast, we talk about distraction, notifications, technology - all the things that grab our attention and take us away from the present moment and flow.

We talk about the biggest challenges with having "ancient brains in a high-tech world".

You will also love to learn about gamification and why "gamification" is one of the most powerful high-performance strategies. 

In short: Dr. Gazzaley shares the most cutting-edge, science-backed techniques to fight distraction and recover from brain melt!

 

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Dr. Adam Gazzaley obtained an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, completed Neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania, and postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at University of California, Berkeley. He is now the David Dolby Distinguished Professor in Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco and the Founder / Executive Director of Neuroscape, a translational neuroscience center engaged in technology creation and scientific research.

He designs and develops novel brain assessment and optimization tools to impact education, wellness, and medicine practices. 

This novel approach involves the development of custom-designed, closed-loop video games integrated with the latest advancements in software (brain computer interfaces, GPU computing, cloud-based analytics) and hardware (virtual/augmented reality, motion capture, mobile physiological recording devices, transcranial electrical brain stimulation). 

These technologies are then advanced to rigorous research studies that evaluate their impact on multiple aspects of brain function and physiology. This utilizes a powerful combination of neurophysiological tools, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Zak. You may have heard Dr. Paul Zak’s name mentioned in the same sentence as the word “trust” before. He is the author of the “Trust Factor: The Science of Creating High-Performance Companies”.

He also wrote the “The Moral Molecule: The Source of Love and Prosperity”. In this book, he recounts his unlikely discovery of the neurochemical oxytocin as the key driver of trust, love and morality. 

In fact, Paul Zak’s research on oxytocin and relationships has actually earned him the nickname Dr. Love.

And I can tell you, Dr. Love suits Paul a ton. You're going to see why in this episode. 

He is just such a fun, great guy and Steven and I had an absolute blast kicking it with him when we were recording this episode. 

In today's episode with Paul, we draw on the ideas that underscore the work that he has done with everyone from the Pentagon to Fortune 50 companies to working with tribes in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea. 

We talk about everything - from how to dump more oxytocin into your brain, to tools needed to become a high trust leader as well as the difference between faith and trust from a neurobiological perspective. 

We go broad, and we go wide on the topic of trust, and how it relates to flow and peak performance. It’s a super fun one. 

And we really began to hit our stride about halfway through the episode. So make sure that you stay tuned until the end.

In this episode, you will learn about:

What happens to oxytocin in the era of physical and social distancing and increased remote work?  (4:00)

Background and details on oxytocin (8:10)
