If you’ve ever found yourself pulling into your driveway only to realize you meant to stop at the grocery store on the way home, you know how easy it is for the brain to run on autopilot

And while forgetting you needed to pick-up a couple of ingredients for dinner is always a bummer, when leaders find themselves running on autopilot, there’s suddenly a lot more at stake… and for A LOT of other people as well. 

We talk plenty on this podcast about the less-admirable traits of leadership and how to go about changing them for the better. 

But my guest today, Dr. Eugene K. Choi, decided to take it a step further. 

Instead of simply asking, “how can I fix or improve these areas I clearly need to work on?”, he also asked, “where do these habits even come from in the first place?”

Dr. Choi is a clinical pharmacist, certified consultant for Neuro Change Solutions, and the founder of Destiny Hacks, a coaching program that focuses on the science of change. 

Now a transformational Mindset Coach on a mission to transform leaders, businesses, and communities, Dr. Choi has become a prolific writer and thought-leader whose articles have garnered over 8 million readers and his videos and short-films have amassed more than 23 million views. 

From learning that sometimes working towards an accomplishment is actually driven by our “Fight” response to understanding that being good at planning is widely different from executing said plan, we dive into the psychology and physiology of how habits can make or break leaders, and in turn, how leaders can break the habits. 

Enjoy the show!
