In this episode of the Dunamis EQ Leadership Podcast, we have the privilege of hosting John Sanei, a renowned speaker and author. John starts off by sharing his initial excitement about curating drones and blockchain for the future, but he quickly noticed that despite engaging with his audience, no one was actually changing their behavior. John then delves into his journey of combining self-development and psychology to overcome victim thinking and engage more curiously with the future. However, he soon discovered that this approach was not enough. According to John, the future requires a shift towards neuroscience, as it rewires the brain, unlike psychology which only updates the software. Drawing an analogy, John compares relying solely on psychology and software to trying to put iOS 16 into an iPhone 1. He stresses the importance of evolving neuroscience to access new levels of creativity and increase our awareness in finding innovative solutions. Throughout the episode, John highlights the significance of unlearning and rewiring our brains quickly, as well as changing our awareness and thinking to become more adaptable and engaged with the future. He challenges traditional notions of critical thinking, suggesting that we explore emotional intelligence and other types of intelligence that may not be understood yet. Further, John explores the concept of intimacy and its relationship to the brain's response. He discusses a study that reveals how the brain's reaction to receiving a physical gift is similar to imagining receiving a gift. This raises questions about the definition of intimacy and how it resonates with individuals in different ways. The conversation takes a personal turn as John opens up about his own experiences, including a difficult breakup. He reflects on the importance of working on our memories, rearranging and recalibrating them towards love rather than bitterness. By softening our memories and breaking patterns, we can increase our emotional intelligence and make the future more accessible and enjoyable. John also shares a heartwarming story about his relationship with his mother, emphasizing the power of curiosity and open-mindedness in deepening connections. He highlights the crucial role of leadership in preparing for the future and implementing strategies, emphasizing the interconnection between leadership and culture. Throughout the episode, John offers invaluable insights and strategies to enhance personal growth, evolve rapidly, and adapt to the disruptions caused by the rapid advancements of technology and artificial intelligence. He emphasizes the importance of engaging with our emotions, changing our frequencies, and healing from diseases that are based on outdated patterns. Join us in this thought-provoking and enlightening conversation with John Sanei as we explore new ways of thinking and navigating the complex challenges of the future.
