What if the key to higher performance wasn’t working harder — but understanding your brain?
In this episode of How To Ride A Roller Coaster, host David Ezell talks with Dr. Eugene Choi, a neuroscience-based executive coach and former LA County health system leader who managed operations for six major hospitals and over 250 clinics. After witnessing burnout and pressure derail even the most talented teams, Eugene set out to uncover why — and discovered how our brains can be retrained to operate in peak performance mode.
Together, David and Eugene explore:
🧠 The neuroscience behind leadership burnout (and how to fix it)
⚡ How to trigger “flow state” on demand — even under pressure
👥 How high-performing teams can unlock clarity, creativity, and engagement
🔄 Practical brain-based tools entrepreneurs can use to perform better without burning out
