<p>“The best way to predict your future, is to create it!” Abraham Lincoln</p> <p></p> <p>Watch this inspiring interview on YouTube here <a href='https://youtu.be/aG_B3aLSLEc'>https://youtu.be/aG_B3aLSLEc</a></p> <p>Welcome back to <em>The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast</em> where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I’m Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. My vision is to bring the experts to you, share their research, books, ideas and resources to help you to implement their proven strategies, whether you are a teacher working in the classroom or in the corporate environment.</p> <p>For today’s EPISODE #254, we’ll be speaking with Ryan Brady<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a>, an avid public speaker who has put into practice many of the concepts that we’ve covered on this podcast.
