As an expert in mastermind groups, Jay Fairbrother deeply understands the components and complexities of peer learning.
In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.
“A mastermind is like putting pieces of a puzzle together…. you need to figure out what are the components that take advantage of your superpowers.” — Jay FairbrotherGuest Bio:
Jay Fairbrother is a serial entrepreneur, business coach, and mastermind guru with 30 years of experience starting, buying, and selling seven-figure businesses. Jay’s story includes losing EVERYTHING after the 2010 financial crisis and rising from the shame to shine as “The Mastermind Guy.”
His own participation in masterminds fueled his first business to $10 million in annual revenues before selling it in 2004. During his crash and burn after the Great Recession, where he went from a multi-millionaire living in a mansion to being bankrupt and living in a friend’s basement, his mastermind tribe literally gave him purpose and kept him alive.
Jay has owned nine businesses in six different industries, and his successes and massive failures are the fuel from which he imparts his wisdom around entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing and scaling businesses. His story is one of resiliency and reinvention.
Jay’s focus is on helping coaches, speakers, healers, and thought leaders create their own mastermind or hybrid programs to scale their business and deliver massive client transformations. His mission is to create more human connection on the planet... one mastermind at a time.

Dr. Irena is joined by Anke Herrmann to discuss the importance of downtime for reducing stress and improving productivity. Clients often feel guilty taking time off, but breaks lead to better sleep, health, and work output. Likewise, downtime is crucial for the insights that propel success.
In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.
“I've always followed the nudges of inspiration more than avoiding the push of fear.”— Anke HerrmannGuest Bio:
In 2004, Anke Herrmann quit her software developer career in London, moved to Spain, and turned her passion for sewing into a business, specializing in flamenco dance costumes. “Let's see what happens” was her business plan. It felt like riding a wild elephant until she realized that building a business is a CREATIVE PROCESS, the same as developing software or sewing a dress — a magical mix of vision, skill, and soul.
Now, she brings her background in tech and everything she's learned over the years about business, marketing, and psychology to help passion-driven coaches and educators build a “Boutique Business” that allows them to grow without burning out or scaling the joy out of it.
She's also a certified Clarity Coach, author of Taming the Tech Monster, and founder of Soul Touched by Dogs.

Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.

Is Willpower Like a Muscle? (Dov Gordon) Transcript.

Dr. Irena is joined by Jason Moss to discuss the widely touted technique of visualization. The two explore the line between what people think visualization is and what actually happens in the mind, while clarifying the roles of fantasy versus expectation and process versus outcome.
In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.
“That’s another way that I think visualization can be very powerful… to help someone tap into that sense of what’s really possible for them.”— Jason MossGuest Bio:
Jason Moss is a multi-six-figure business coach. He leads a community of 20,000+ coaches online, and has helped thousands of coaches grow their businesses and sign more clients.
His work has been featured in Entrepreneur, Online Business Owner, and other leading media outlets, and his unique approach to business growth integrates identity and strategy to help coaches build wildly profitable businesses from the inside out.
Jason’s been building businesses for nearly 20 years, and made his first sale online at 13. He’s a former Director of Sales who helped scale a multi-seven-figure coaching business, and his heart-centered view on marketing is a radical departure from the more typical overly aggressive marketing tactics taught today.
Jason lives in Boulder, Colorado with his partner Kimberly, dog Boomer, and cat Zola. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, travel, meditation, and pursuing personal growth.

Kay Adams and Deborah Ross reveal the magic of journaling, merging neuroscience and therapeutic writing. Through their profound insights, discover how reflective practices can foster self-awareness, harness neuroplasticity, and become powerful tools for manifesting a desired life.
In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.
“Another thing coaches may very well want to know about is that writing the journal can be an absolutely wonderful place for self-supervision.”— Kay Adams
“[Journaling] is an owner’s manual. We don’t get that when we come into this world.”— Deborah RossGuest Bio:
Kay Adams, LPC, is a best-selling author, speaker, psychotherapist, visionary and founder of the Center for Journal Therapy. Her first book, Journal to the Self (1990), is a classic best-seller that helped define the field of personal writing as a tool for healing, growth, and change. She has written 13 more books (and one card deck), and her innovative work has led to a movement in writing and healing.
In 2008 Kay founded the Therapeutic Writing Institute, a fully online professional development school to prepare and certify journal therapists and facilitators. Ten years later, she founded a second online school, Journalversity, offering evergreen and facilitated courses from leading experts in the expressive writing field.
Deborah Ross is a Certified Journal Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in the Washington DC area. She retired from private-practice psychotherapy to focus on teaching journaling in meditation programs and health care settings including those that serve cancer patients and brain injury patients. She is a core faculty member at the Therapeutic Writing Institute, supervises trainees, and offers private instruction and custom writing workshops. Co-author with Kathleen Adams of Your Brain on Ink, Deborah is fascinated by the intersection of the modern findings in neuroscience and the ancient arts of contemplative practice and writing.

Executive coach Sharon Richmond joins Dr. Irena O’Brien to explore the fascinating concept of team flow—a state of peak performance from all members of a team, characterized by effortless work and the activation of alpha waves in the brain. Discover how micromanaging can obstruct team flow and damage workplace dynamics, while fostering a shared goal can create a thriving environment.
“[Executives are often] challenged by that fine line between coaching someone for development on a skill and micromanaging them, getting a little too far into telling them what to do as opposed to helping them think through what to do.” — Sharon Richmond
In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.Guest Bio:
For more than 30 years, Sharon Richmond has partnered with C-level executives from mid-size and small, fast-growing companies who want to up-level their leadership and build companies they are proud of.

Sharon’s purpose as an executive coach is to help leaders 10X their impact by leveraging the power afforded by their roles to build organizations that are forces for good, both economically and socially. She also advises CEOs on shaping organization culture and leading change.
Sharon has taught leadership at Stanford GSB, where she now helps leaders increase influence, manage conflict, and prepare to build high performing teams.

Lenore Skenazy is the accidental pioneer of the “free-range kids movement” and literally wrote the book on the subject. Following that, she co-founded Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience.
“The real problem is that our culture has insisted that adults always be supervising kids.” — Lenore Skenazy
After her newspaper column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” created a media firestorm, Lenore Skenazy got the nickname “America’s Worst Mom.” (Google it!) She went on to write Free-Range Kids, the book-turned-movement that basically says OUR KIDS ARE SMARTER AND SAFER THAN OUR CULTURE GIVES THEM CREDIT FOR!Lenore has lectured everywhere from DreamWorks to Microsoft to Harvard Med School, Yale Child Study Center — and the Bulgarian Happiness Festival! (For real.) On TV, you may have seen her on The Today Show, The Daily Show, or her own reality show, World’s Worst Mom. Now Lenore is co-founder and president of Let Grow, the nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience. She lives in New York City with her husband and beloved computer. Her children are gainfully employed. (Phew!) And for the record, she used to write for Mad Magazine. Yep. MAD. But now she's so serious that here is her piece on "Independence as Therapy" in The New York Times.
Tom “Teacher Tom” Hobson is an early childhood educator, international speaker, education consultant, teacher of teachers, parent educator, and author. He is best known, however, for his namesake blog, Teacher Tom's Blog, where he has posted daily for over a decade, chronicling the life and times of his little preschool in the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest corner of the USA.For nearly two decades, Teacher Tom was the sole employee of the Woodland Park Cooperative School, a parent-owned and operated school knit together by Teacher Tom's democratic, progressive play-based pedagogy. Teacher Tom came into teaching through the backdoor, so to speak, having enrolled his own child in a cooperative preschool, where he began working daily in his daughter's classroom as an assistant teacher under the tutelage of veteran educators — although he'll be the first to tell you that most of what he learned came from the children themselves. When it was time for his daughter to move on, he “stayed behind.”
Today, Teacher Tom shares his play-based pedagogy through online e-courses for early childhood educators; produces online early childhood conferences; consults with organizations about his "Family Schools" program; and inspires early-years audiences around the world (Greece, UK, Iceland, Australia, China, Vietnam, New Zealand, Canada, and across the US) both virtually and in-person with his engaging views on early childhood education, play, and pedagogy.
He was pressured by his blog readers into authoring his first book, aptly named Teacher Tom’s First Book, and is thrilled about the 2023 release of Teacher Tom’s Second Book.
