Today, we’re diving into part one of a conversation that’s going to light your brain on fire—in the best way. I’m joined by Anne-Laure Le Cunff, a brilliant neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and one of the most refreshingly original thinkers I’ve come across when it comes to learning, growth, and creativity.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head, wished you could reignite your curiosity, or just wanted to fall in love with learning again—this episode is your invitation.

Anne-Laure’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. She walked away from a high-powered role at Google to study neuroscience, and now she’s researching how our brains learn at King’s College London. She is also the founder of Nest Labs, where she helps people think with more clarity and live with more intention. 

Her work is this beautiful blend of science-backed insight, creative thinking, and practical tools that challenge the way we’ve been taught to think. Her concept of “Tiny Experiments” completely changed the way I approach curiosity—and I knew I had to share it with you.

You’re going to walk away from this episode rethinking what’s possible. Let’s get into it.
