Welcome to the My Buddy Green podcast. I'm Jason Walkab, founder and co-ceeo of My Buddy Green and your host.

Dr. Judd Brewer is a neuroscientist, and worldwide known expert in mindfulness training

for habit change, treating addiction,

and unwanted behaviors.

So when we think about changing bad habits

or creating good habits, you're going to love this

podcast.

Judd, welcome.

Thanks for having me.

Great to have you here.

So when I first stumbled upon you on our dear friend Rich Roles podcast, I saw, wow, this guy's super interesting and he's got a really cool gig at the university level.

Because when I went to college, there was no university

I'm the Director of Research Innovation there.

So I focus on the research efforts,
