Trying harder to focus is making it worse. And there’s a reason for that.

There is a very intimate relationship between your body and your mind. It's actually the health and harmony of your body that determines the state of your mind. Once you know this, you change the game on what focusing is and then how to actually get back to focusing on what matters.

So we brought in Janel Penaflor to help us understand these intricacies. Janel has spent thirty years investigating why trained, capable people stop seeing the thing right in front of them — inside oil and gas plants, nuclear facilities, aviation systems, and chemical operations. What she found changed how she understands focus entirely.

In this episode, Janel joins Jon and Will to break down The real science behind focus, the lies have been told about focus and practices you can use every day to remain focused.


IN THIS EPISODE, you will learn:
1. The focus lie: why trying harder to focus makes it worse
2. The prefrontal cortex as a battery — how it drains and what depletes it fastest
3. The polyvagal ladder: where most people are living and how to come back down
4. Why your body controls your brain more than your brain controls your body
5. The default mode network and why stillness is where the deepest work actually happens
