05 - The Neuroscience of Trust, Emotional Fitness and Why Great Leaders Hug More with Dr. Paul Zak

Why do we trust complete strangers? How can leaders build emotionally resilient teams without micromanaging? And what role does oxytocin really play in the workplace?


In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Zak - a leading behavioural neuroscientist, four-time tech founder, and author of Immersion: The Science of Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness.


Together, we explore the science of trust, emotional fitness, and the simple, powerful behaviours that help leaders create connected, high-performing cultures.


Paul shares eye-opening insights from two decades of research (and some very memorable stories), including:

  • Why trust drives business outcomes - and how to measure it without drawing blood
  • What high-trust cultures actually look like, and why hierarchy often stands in the way
  • The surprising link between oxytocin, empathy, and everyday leadership behaviours
  • How emotional fitness fuels performance, and how Paul’s free app SIX can help you track it
  • Why being vulnerable at work isn’t just brave — it’s strategic


If you’re a leader navigating complexity, juggling competing demands, or looking for more meaning in your work, this episode offers a fresh, evidence-backed perspective on what really matters.
