Why do we trust total strangers? How does oxytocin actually shape our behavior? And what does it really mean to thrive?

In this episode, neuroscientist and entrepreneur Dr. Paul Zak — best known as the "father of neuroeconomics" and the pioneer behind the “moral molecule” — breaks down 20+ years of research into trust, storytelling, connection, and emotional fitness. We talk about everything from blood draws in Papua New Guinea to why your daily “key moments” can predict happiness… and how your brain might know more about your well-being than you do.

Dr. Zak also shares how his latest work, the Immersion platform and Six app, turns brain science into simple, actionable tools to help us live better, more connected lives.

You’ll learn:

• How oxytocin impacts trust, empathy, and morality
• What the science says about thriving in a high-stress world
• Why emotional fitness might be the missing link in your wellness journey
• The power of real connection (yes, even through FaceTime)
• Simple ways to create more joy, connection, and purpose in your day
