Human Performance Forum

Flow State & Consciousness

We spoke with human performance experts Cody Burkhart (Robotics, Neuroscience, NASA) and Brian Mackenzie (Founder, CEO SH//FT). We had an incredible amount of interest and feedback around the subject so we decided to take it one step further. Based on popular demand, this month’s discussion was around Performance of Consciousness, specifically around Flow, Shared Consciousness, and Psychedelics.

The Future of Pain

We discussed the history, science, and research of pain, acute v. chronic, new therapies, and emerging technologies in this space. We also had the opportunity to see clips from Laurie’s film, PAIN BRAIN. Our audience, including one of the film subjects, Greg Whisler, shared personal stories and their knowledge with our community. For anyone that has struggled with pain, injury, surgery this will change the way you think about pain, pain management, and healing.

Future of Entrepreneurship

Hosts Jean-Paul O'Brien (CEO/Managing Director of Black Lab Sports) and Cody Burkhart (Robotics/Human Performance/Neuroscience/NASA) lead an interactive conversation with authors of The New Builders, Seth Levine, and Elizabeth MacBride. Along with the Authors we had the opportunity to speak with two new builders who shared their insights and stories with our audience.

In their book, The New Builders, Levine and MacBride argue that the future of American entrepreneurship will rely on the success of women, black and brown entrepreneurs but we have yet to recognize the identities of these New Builders or develop strategies to support them.
