It’s about depletion, which doesn’t appear on a balance sheet. We explore the neuroscience behind wealth that isn’t financial: time, connection, mental clarity, physical presence. You’ll hear why the brain craves “more,” how that chase keeps us stuck, and what absolute freedom looks like....

Episode 576: Executive Presence Redefined
The Dr CK Bray Show
What got you here… won’t get you there. In the boardrooms of the early 2000s, executive presence was a well-guarded formula: confidence, a polished suit, a commanding voice, and just the right amount of detachment. You knew it when you saw it—and if you didn’t look the part, you probably didn’t get it. But in 2024, everything has changed. The pandemic, social movements, hybrid work, generational shifts, and the rise of authenticity have completely rewritten the rules. And if you're still playing by the old ones, you will get left behind. In this episode, Dr. Bray takes you inside the...

Episode 575: Don't Be a Victim of Your Past
The Dr CK Bray Show
What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances, but the story you’ve been telling yourself about them? We all experience setbacks—failure, rejection, trauma, or just plain bad luck. But instead of seeing these moments as chapters in a bigger story, we often let them define us. We replay the past, reinforce limiting beliefs, and convince ourselves that nothing will ever change. The problem isn’t just what happened—it’s the meaning we attach to it. And sometimes, that meaning is completely wrong. In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the science of learned...
info_outlineIs telepathy real, or is it just a fantasy fueled by sci-fi movies and wishful thinking? In this episode, Dr. Bray goes to the edges of science and dives into the science, the skepticism, and the surprising research that suggests telepathic communication might not be as impossible as we once thought. From groundbreaking neuroscience studies using brain-to-brain communication technology to Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell’s fascinating work with autistic savants who seem to transmit thoughts without words, we’re uncovering the truth about telepathy—what's myth, what’s real, and what the future could hold.
Neuroscientists are beginning to explore the brain’s electromagnetic activity and the role of mirror neurons, which may provide a scientific basis for telepathic-like experiences. Meanwhile, technology is making what was once science fiction a reality, with researchers successfully transmitting thoughts between human brains using neural interfaces. Could telepathy simply be an untapped human ability? Could meditation, deep focus, or brain training enhance it? And if it’s real, how could it change the way we connect, communicate, and understand one another?
Join Dr. Bray as he breaks down the science, examines the skeptics' arguments, and explores the mind-blowing potential of thought-to-thought communication. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about the limits of the human mind. Tune in now and decide for yourself!
