AJ and Johnny sit down with neuroscientist Emily Falk to explore why our goals so often collapse after January, and what the brain is actually optimizing for when we make decisions.
Emily explains how the brain’s value system prioritizes the present self over future goals, why environment beats willpower, and how identity, social influence, and habit systems quietly shape what we do every day. From New Year’s resolutions to loneliness, leadership, and purpose, this episode reveals how to design choices that stick by working with the brain instead of against it.

When someone says something. Sometimes is not about what they are talking. Is an invitation to share a common experience
Seek the emotion. When they ask a question. Don't just say "yeah" State the positive, and ask what is it about the topic they enjoy. This way they will feel excited and talk about that emotional bits
3As to connect in conversations Attention, acceptance, approval
Johnny is 47?! It's time to become 'John'.
