In this episode of Getting It Wrong To Get It Right, Joe Dalton welcomes a Dr. Srini Pillay whose journey spans psychiatry, neuroscience, executive coaching, biotech and musical theatre all driven by a passion for understanding how the brain shapes behaviour, creativity and leadership.

From Harvard brain imaging labs to Fortune 500 boardrooms, this conversation explores how being unfocused unlocks innovation, how subconscious intelligence scales strategy and why 'trying' isn’t always the answer sometimes, it’s about trusting.


💡 Topics include:

  • Why over focusing drains your brain and blocks creativity
  • The neuroscience of unfocusing and the default mode network
  • How subconscious intelligence drives strategy and performance
  • The metaphor of cognitive rhythm and the child vs. elephant mind
  • How to train your subconscious using self-talk and emotional awareness
  • The power of affect labeling and naming your emotions
  • The CIRCA method for managing anxiety and building confidence
  • Meditation, brainwave frequencies and the science of 'purring mode'
  • Why copying business models fails and trusting your own intelligence wins
  • This episode is a masterclass in mindset, emotional intelligence and the art of thinking beyond the grindstone.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
