#22 - Dr. Greg Wells on The Power of Focus

In today’s presentation clip Dr. Greg Wells explores how to protect your attention in a world that’s engineered to steal it. He tells the story of climbing Chimborazo in Ecuador—with no cell service—and how immersion in nature, altitude, and risk forced him to focus on the only thing that mattered: getting safely off the mountain. Greg connects that moment to the science of distraction, the “compulsion loop” of our devices, and the sympathetic overactivation that kills problem-solving and creativity. Then he lays out practical focus practices—nature exposure, tech boundaries, single-tasking—that leaders, athletes, and parents can use today.
