Watch On YouTube

Impoverished countries have the lowest reported trust levels, and the wealthiest have the most... why? That was one of the leading questions in the episode, along with the science behind the neurotransmitter labeled as the 'Trust' molecule.

Dr. Paul Zak is professor at Claremont Graduate University and is ranked in the top 0.3% of most cited scientists with his work spanning the globe (from the Pentagon to Fortune 50 boardrooms and to the rainforest of Papua New Guinea).

In this episode, expect to learn about the trust molecule, how to create a culture of trust in your company, what immersion neuroscience is and how it affects you, and future of wearable technology and more. Including my personal favorite, the limitations of neuroscience in understanding the human condition.
