This Week's Drive-Time Podcast!    
   
This week's recommended podcast is from: 
   
A conversation with life's unseen patterns
Hidden Brain helps curious people understand the world - and themselves. Using science and storytelling, Hidden Brain reveals the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, and the biases that shape our choices.

Where is the line between what is real and what is imaginary? It seems like an easy question to answer: if you can see it, hear it, or touch it, then it's real, right? But what if this way of thinking is limiting one of the greatest gifts of the mind? This week, we meet people who experience the invisible as real, and learn how they hone their imaginations to see the world with new eyes.
   
Enjoy, learn, be amazed, and be inspired! Most of all--look for the characteristics that lead to success!
