Rusty George Podcast

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so it seemed fitting to have a brain expert join me on Leading Simple. Bryan Hixson leads an incredible research organization focused on understanding how the brain works. How our brain functions can dramatically affect the way we lead and the way we live. It influences how quickly we can bounce back from difficulties and how easily we can let things go. I sat down with Bryan to learn more about why that is and came out of our time with my mind blown. You won't want to miss our conversation. Special thanks to the Saga Center for Mental Health for sponsoring this episode.HighlightsAbout Bryan Hixson - 02:10A little about Bryan HixsonWhy do we call it Mental Health?What is a brain map?How does stress affect our brains? - 10:49The pandemic’s effect on our brain health.The value of in person connection.Thoughts around the current mental health epidemic.Healing our Brains - 23:12Bryan explains how our brains function.What are some helpful tools for us to help our brains?Resour
