Rethinking success starts with a simple shift: experiment, stay curious, and let learning lead the way.   I’m sitting down with neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff to talk about neuroscience, creativity, and personal transformation. What happens when we stop chasing a predefined version of success and start treating life as a series of experiments? Anne-Laure shares how a health scare pushed her to leave corporate life, study neuroscience, and build Nest Labs, a community that helps people stay productive and creative without sacrificing mental health.   She introduces the “experimental mindset,” a way to embrace uncertainty, learn through action, and reframe failure as progress. She also shares a simple brain hack: “curiosity snacks,” small shifts that turn impulsive habits into moments of meaningful exploration.   This conversation is a reminder that personal growth doesn’t require a perfect plan. Instead, understanding the brain and leaning into creativity can open new doors, helping us build a life that evolves with us.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 02:40 Anne-Laure’s Career Journey 06:08 Managing Insecurity and Embracing Change 07:48 Personal Crisis and Realignment 09:21 Curiosity and Creativity Interconnection 10:17 Creative Processes and Community Feedback 12:37 Taking Risks and Community Support 14:03 Nest Labs Community Creation 16:40 Empowering Community Members 18:49 Fascination with Neuroscience 20:00 Stimulating the Brain: Curiosity Snacks 21:44 Book Introduction: Tiny Experiments 23:35 Experimental Mindset Concept 25:37 Intentional Imperfection Concept 29:13 Role Models and Personal Influence 31:07 Closing   Links Connect with Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neuranne NessLabs: https://nesslabs.com   Anne-Laure's Book Tiny Experiments: https://nesslabs.com/book Connect with Jane Bertch: Website: www.janebertch.com  Instagram @janebertch Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
