Ok what can I say about Andrew?  He has his PhD in Neuroscience. He’s a tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine.  He has his own lab at Stanford ..(Huberman Lab) where he has 2 main focuses. 1.  working to halt and reverse vision loss and 2. How Visual perception and ANS arousal states are integrated and impact behavior.

So obviously he is super smart and driven…but what really makes Andrew special is he cares deeply about people.  He is a big strong guy on the outside but on the inside has a huge heart and really goes out of his way to help others.

Many of you listening will have heard Andrew before because he has done almost every major podcast out there. He has a great Instagram channel where he shares all kinds of actionable knowledge about neuroscience so definitely check that out if you haven’t already.

In this episode we talk about all kinds of topics neuroscience and performance related but really emphasize and dive deep into creativity, and how the relationship between time and space and our sense perceptions shape our reality.
