Podcast Overview

Welcome to the Expand Your Perception Podcast … This podcast is an ever expanding STORY of the neuroscience of uncertainty … a story of exploration and expansion … and at times of a personal story into uncertainty. My name is Beau Lotto and I’m a Neuroscientist and Founder of the Lab of Misfits. My hope is that you’ll walk away knowing less since nothing interesting begins with knowing. It begins with not knowing. My second hope is that going to the very place your brain evolved to avoid: Uncertainty, you’ll understand more about how and why you see what you do. Since it’s only by increasing your perceptual intelligence that you’ll be able to take agency in your own brain’s process of making sense of yourself, of others of the world around you . Otherwise everything you do will continue to be a reflex grounded in someone else’s biases.

EPISODE 19: WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN SOUND

Come with me! At least for a while. I’ve no idea where it will end, or how long it’ll take to get there … as is the want of a Vagabond.  We will be exploring the power of vibration ... and how and why your brain and body are literally impacted by it … and evolved to be so. But also how your vibrations affect the life and lives of those around you.  It will be an interactive journey … if you want it to be. This episode focuses on reliability and the importance of reliability in relationships as the foundation of trust, friendship and love.  To read the blog that accompanies this podcast, CLICK HERE.

EPISODE 18: ADVENTURE REQUIRES TRUST

Dr Beau Lotto explains how we’re wired to trust and how remarkable it is that most of us are unaware of how omnipresent it is in our lives.  Right now, while reading this, you are probably sitting in a chair of one form or another. Before sitting, did you check to make sure it’d take your weight? Why not? Because your brain trusted it would. If you’ve never considered this before, then pause and consider the hundreds … if not thousands of actions and situations that you experience every single day in which your physical and emotional well-being … indeed your life … is placed in the hands of others. In the hands of the person who built your chair, your gas heating system, your home, the grower of your food, the provider of your water. Your doctor. Your lover.  Trust fosters gratitude and optimism. When you trust another, and that trust is matched with action (and not just words), your brain receives an intrinsic reward. A brief moment of pleasure induced by the release of specific neurotransmitters that increases the bond between you and that person (or object). So we’re wired to trust.  Trust is not something that you gain. It’s something you lose. And when you lose it, you lose more than trust. You gain fear, anxiety and suspicion.

EPISODE 17: MAKE THE IMPLICIT EXPLICIT

Dr beau Lotto discusses how inspiring people not only express themselves in words, they manifest those words in action.  How we respond to a situation is our own making. When you find yourself in a challenging context … ask yourself these questions: “Do my actions increase or decrease the effort I have to make, or am I transferring my effort onto others?” “Do my actions increase or decrease my personal responsibility for the context that was created, or am I transferring my responsibility onto others?” “Do my actions take ownership of their result, or am I transferring the consequence (blame) of those results onto others?” (... and yet taking credit when all goes well?) Which is why great leaders look away from what is for their benefit if it is not serving all the people / institutions / structures they lead. We are often blind to ourselves. Which is why the best person to reveal you to you is usually not you. It’s someone else. Hence the importance of pursuing self-honesty, not simply on one’s own. It could even require questioning the identity that you define yourself by. Which is why true care, friendship, support, love is a risk.  So making the implicit explicit is generous. It’s a risk since honesty of self can create vulnerability. But it’s also how you create life. TO READ THE BLOG, CLICK HERE.
