Welcome to the Expand Your Perception Podcast … This podcast is an ever expanding STORY of the neuroscience of uncertainty … a story of exploration and expansion … and at times of a personal story into uncertainty. My name is Beau Lotto and I’m a Neuroscientist and Founder of the Lab of Misfits. My hope is that you’ll walk away knowing less since nothing interesting begins with knowing. It begins with not knowing. My second hope is that going to the very place your brain evolved to avoid: Uncertainty, you’ll understand more about how and why you see what you do. Since it’s only by increasing your perceptual intelligence that you’ll be able to take agency in your own brain’s process of making sense of yourself, of others of the world around you . Otherwise everything you do will continue to be a reflex grounded in someone else’s biases.

Dr beau Lotto discusses how inspiring people not only express themselves in words, they manifest those words in action.
How we respond to a situation is our own making.
When you find yourself in a challenging context … ask yourself these questions:
“Do my actions increase or decrease the effort I have to make, or am I transferring my effort onto others?”
“Do my actions increase or decrease my personal responsibility for the context that was created, or am I transferring my responsibility onto others?”
“Do my actions take ownership of their result, or am I transferring the consequence (blame) of those results onto others?” (... and yet taking credit when all goes well?)
Which is why great leaders look away from what is for their benefit if it is not serving all the people / institutions / structures they lead.
We are often blind to ourselves. Which is why the best person to reveal you to you is usually not you. It’s someone else. Hence the importance of pursuing self-honesty, not simply on one’s own.
It could even require questioning the identity that you define yourself by. Which is why true care, friendship, support, love is a risk.
So making the implicit explicit is generous. It’s a risk since honesty of self can create vulnerability. But it’s also how you create life.
