## Resource

What if AI didn't replace you — it made you a better you? Dr. David Bach, Harvard-trained neuroscientist and founder of Optios, is using artificial intelligence to help people think faster, learn better, retain more, and perform at their peak. He's stepping into what is his most consequential work yet while others his age are out on the golf course. From walking on fire to unlocking the science of "the zone" this conversation offers something rare in the age of AI: genuine hope. Cal says: If you know someone who feels unsettled by artificial intelligence, send them this episode.
