Description

On this episode of The Agile for Agilists Podcast, Drew Podwal and Brad Nelson sit down with Dr. Alex Korb, PhD—neuroscientist, coach, and author of The Upward Spiral—to explore how your brain is wired, and how understanding that wiring can unlock better focus, performance, and well-being.

We dive into how autonomy, motivation, and neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) shape the way we work and lead. Dr. Korb explains why accepting how your brain naturally operates is essential to getting the most out of it—especially in high-stakes, fast-moving environments like Agile teams.

Whether you’re a coach, leader, or just a curious human, this conversation offers practical neuroscience insights that can help you work with your brain, not against it.
