Chris Reynolds returns to the Maverick to discuss brain optimization techniques. He starts off talking about his presentation at the Bansko Nomad Fest and explains his conference networking strategy. Chris then talks about how he began organizing entrepreneur masterminds in the beginning of the pandemic to support fellow business owners, and then how he developed that into the M3 entrepreneur community. He also talks about hosting The Business Method Podcast, publishing over 500 episodes, and shares top lessons from his latest season interviewing billion-dollar business owners. Chris then debunks a number of misconceptions about the brain and does a deep dive into brain science. He gives specific optimization tips on how to strengthen the pre-frontal cortex, avoid dopamine floods, release more oxytocin, increase serotonin and endorphins, harness eustress, and achieve “flow states”. He also explains how to have better orgasms! Chris then gives tips on how to start optimizing your brain for peak performance and shares his brain scan results after a dark-room meditation retreat. He also reflects on a recent M3 Brain Optimization Retreat and explains how you can join the M3 community. FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
