Ever had a session where time disappeared and everything just clicked? That’s flow — and your brain is literally wired for it.

In this solo episode, I break down the neuroscience of flow, why skating triggers it like nothing else, and how it helps with mental health.

I reference experts in the field; Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steven Kotler, Jamie Wheal and the literature they have published.  

This episode is part science, part soul — and all skateboarding.
