Love Your Brain with Eric and Dave

We welcome our first guest, Nathan Griffiths. Nate is a very talented young musician on his way to music school. During our conversation we explore the creative process, the magic of live versus studio performance, and what it means to enter “the zone” where ego and time disappear. The conversation expands into themes of true self-expression, the challenges of screen addiction and social media, and the potential risks of artificial intelligence.
