0:00.0	This is trend following radio where great thinking comes alive.
0:10.9	Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.
0:21.2	I am your host, Michael Covel, not filtered, raw, honest.
0:27.4	That's my passion.
0:33.4	My guest today, a little three-way phone call, a little three-way conversation,
0:39.6	Professor Jim Davies, Professor Kim Hellamins, two fine professors from up north of the border in Canada.
0:48.5	Their podcast, the podcast that they run that we are going to dive through their topics today called Minding the Brain.

2:18.3	it's based on fact. Jim, do you agree? Yeah, I want to say that we try to make it based on
2:24.1	science. That's, I think, a little bit different from saying it's based on fact because so many
2:28.9	things about the mind and brain are speculative and theoretical that might be overturned in the futures.
