About this episode
What if the next level of your business is already within reach — and the only upgrade needed is in you? Dr. Fleet Maull, founder of HeartMind and creator of Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness, has spent more than 50 years mastering the science of human performance — and he brings an edge no traditional business advisor can match. From building an Inc. 5000 company to pioneering the world's first prison hospice program, Fleet discovered that the leaders who scale fastest aren't those with the best strategy — they're the ones with the most optimized nervous system.
In this powerful episode of The Brain Vault, Larry and Fleet unpack the neuroscience behind why your greatest leadership breakthroughs live on the other side of regulation — not hustle.
This is the episode for every founder, executive, and leader ready to scale not just their business — but their capacity to lead it.
