In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we speak with Marina Morgan, founder of Morgan Impact, a Silicon Valley-based organizational psychologist whose work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and business strategy.

She’s led transformations for companies ranging from startups to global enterprises with 300,000+ employees — and she’s here to explain why tech isn’t what’s blocking innovation. It’s the mental load, emotional friction, and cultural wiring we ignore.

🧠 Why entrepreneurs' brains are wired differently from their teams — and why it matters

⚠️ How lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and low oxygen silently sabotage innovation

🚫 Why “resistance to change” is often just a sign of exhausted nervous systems

🎮 How business games and safe-play environments accelerate mindset shifts

💬 The 3 groups you’ll always face in a transformation — and which one to focus on

This episode is a must-watch for founders, execs, and transformation leaders who want to unlock innovation by understanding the human operating system behind it.
