In this thought-provoking episode of Mindfulness in Real Time, host Clayton Platt is joined by renowned neuroscientist Dr. Michael Platt from the University of Pennsylvania. Together, they explore how the brain creates real-time connection through physiological synchrony—where heartbeats, breath, and attention align across individuals to create trust, cooperation, and empathy. From Lego-building demos to indigenous women weaving community over Zoom, this episode is packed with real-world applications and scientific insight. Whether you're a leader, teammate, or teacher, you’ll discover practical ways to foster presence and connection in your everyday life—from meetings and meditation to music and mindfulness.
