About this listen

In a world increasingly shaped by AI, convenience, and automation, our greatest threat isn’t just technological displacement—it’s the erosion of our adaptive intelligence. We get into the 12 Approaches, a groundbreaking framework that reveals the hidden ways we respond to stress, challenge, and change. From Fawn to Flow, Freeze to Shapeshift, we uncover how each strategy can either sabotage or supercharge your ability to thrive.


We also explore the modern epidemic of cognitive offloading—outsourcing memory, decisions, and thinking to devices—and how it weakens the very skills we need to navigate uncertainty and complexity.


Through practical insights, behavioral science, and real-world application, this episode offers a roadmap for reclaiming your cognitive edge, building behavioral flexibility, and training your nervous system to meet any environment—not just with survival, but with strategic adaptability.


Whether you’re a leader, learner, or observer of human nature, this is your wake-up call to stop defaulting and start adapting—consciously.

In this solo episode, we unravel "Distract" one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tactics in the modern psychological toolkit.
