Beginning as an undergraduate at Columbia University, James Garrett has been studying and teaching the psychology of success, and unpacking the brain science behind what makes human beings thrive for over a decade.
As an entrepreneur, scientist, and coach, James is passionate about turning what scientists know about the brain into practical tools that anyone can use to change their lives, and that innovators can use to change the world. Having built a highly successful social startup—and having gone through a major burnout along the way—James feels deeply and personally that we need to change the way we live, work, and innovate.
All of his coaching products teach powerful, 100% evidence-based tools that help individuals, entrepreneurs, and startups maximize their productivity and creativity by designing their lives with the brain in mind.
We discuss with James his inspiring story and how his approach to a life, business and contribution makes a difference for those he works with.
