I'm with Nicole Vignola. She is a neuroscientist. She's an author. She's a speaker, and she specializes in rewiring the brain for better

clear, stress less, and make better decisions.

It's amazing. And again, this is part one. Next week, we're going to have part two.

And now without further ado, here's part one with my new friend Nicole.

describe to us the difference in the breakdown between the brain's hardware and software.

Can we start there?

Well, firstly, thanks for having me.

Of course.
