Episode description
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, sits down with Micah Shanser, a board certified therapist in Neurofeedback and principal at Amazing Brains Performance Centers. Amazing Brains' primary mission is to use brain training and modulation to help people connect with higher levels of performance and fulfillment.
During this wide ranging conversation, Sean and Micah explore flow state and how various activities from meditation to combat can trigger different brain activity and neurological states. These states affect how effectively we perform in different settings. Thanks to Micah's extensive knowledge in Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation, you get a front row seat as he discusses ways to hack the brain for relaxation or increased energy depending on what the situation requires.
