In this episode of Coaches on Zoom Drinking Coffee, Coaching.com CEO Alex Pascal chats with Rebecca Heiss, evolutionary biologist, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and world-class thought leader. 

During this conversation, Rebecca explains how evolutionary hardwiring means our brains aren’t designed for our modern times of relative abundance. That’s why we have to actively train them to thrive in our current context. One way to achieve this is through breathing exercises, and Rebecca talks us through an example in this episode.

Using her scientific background, Rebecca also reflects on the impact of technology on our mental wellbeing. She talks with Alex about the risks and opportunities represented by the Metaverse and how our subconscious is being both reflected and shaped by our search results.

Gender and racial bias in artificial intelligence is another cutting-edge and controversial topic that Rebecca and Alex take on. Rebecca asks why assistants such as Siri and Alexa are gendered as women, and what that means when they frustrate us.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being simply targeted by online marketing strategies or if they’re successfully manipulating your behavior, then you won’t want to miss out on this discussion. It includes a lot of original insights—and a lot of laughs!

Rebecca Heiss is the bestselling author of Instinct, a revolutionary approach to unlocking your innate ability to achieve success in business and in life. She also has a tech company called Icueity with its own app designed to facilitate 360 assessments, 365 days a year.
