#628 What if everything you’ve been told about your brain’s limits is wrong? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we're diving deep into the science of neuroplasticity with cognitive expert Tara Bonner. For years, we've been told that our brains are fixed — that our capacity to learn and grow is limited by the time we reach adulthood. But science now tells a different story. Tara explains how neuroplasticity — our brain's ability to form new pathways — can transform not just how we learn but how we approach business and life. Whether you've struggled with ADHD, dyslexia, or simply believe you’re "not good" at certain things, Tara reveals how understanding your unique cognitive profile can unlock massive growth as an entrepreneur. Don't miss this fascinating conversation about the intersection of science, business, and human potential!
