0:00.0	Your job when you're part of a team isn't to love everything. You might need to speak up when you
0:06.9	don't want to speak up, but your ideas might be critical and bring up a problem or a solution
0:13.5	that we need to discuss. When there's a sense of a common mission, common goal, that you're
0:19.5	heading in the same direction, it very much enforces goal, that you're heading in the same direction, it very much enforces
0:23.2	culture, that you're in it together. And human beings survived as a species and were rewarded
0:29.8	as a species for collaboration. Welcome to the Melanie Avalon biohacking podcast, where we meet the
0:36.9	world's top experts to explore the
0:39.1	secrets of health, mindset, longevity, and so much more. Are you ready to take charge of your
0:45.0	existence and biohack your life? This show is for you. Please keep in mind. We're not dispensing

1:12.2	thinking about today's episode and I think you guys are going to love it. It is with my dear
1:17.4	friend John Levy, who never fails to completely fascinate me. Not only is he a behavioral
1:23.1	scientist, he is also a multi-bestselling author and the founder of the influencers dinner. I've known
1:29.5	him for years, and he never fails to make me smile or blow my mind. I had the best time reading
1:35.3	his book, Team Intelligence, how brilliant leaders unlock collective genius, and asking John
1:40.9	all of my questions today. Get excited because we touch on so many topics.
1:45.6	You're going to learn what actually makes a brilliant leader. And yes, it's probably not what
1:50.2	you think. The role of women when it comes to success. Problems with too much talent on a team.
1:56.5	The myth of the alpha male. How many social connections you can actually have and how to maintain them,
2:02.4	how to deal with narcissists, how to find your super skills, and so much more.
