How to Become the Captain of your Biology

In this solo episode, I explore the concept of dispersion versus distraction, emphasizing how dispersion can hinder our ability to focus on long-term goals. I discuss the neurological underpinnings of this phenomenon and introduce three archetypes of focus: the explorer, the exploiter, and the captain. The episode concludes with a call to action for people to become the captain of their biology, mastering their focus and overcoming cognitive biases to achieve sustained success.
