Understanding Adversity and the Brain: In this episode, we delve into the concept of adversity and how our brains react to challenging situations. We discuss the brain's fight-or-flight response, the role of stress hormones, and the science behind our emotional reactions. Our expert guest, Dr. John Molidor, sheds light on the intricate interplay between brain functions and emotional processing.

ABOUT JOHN B. MOLIDOR
As a professor of psychiatry, Dr. John B. Molidor is most interested in understanding and modifying the behavior of others - both in a Crazy Good and Crazy Bad way.

Through his work at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine (and its affiliated teaching hospitals), he has assisted other organizations in designing comprehensive interviewing and selection processes to choose the top individuals for maximum fit, productivity, and mutual benefit.

As the CEO and President of Michigan State University's Flint Area Medical Education, he knows how to bring fierce competitors together to achieve something they couldn't do alone. As such, he also knows what it is like to be in the trenches in an industry (medicine) that is undergoing massive change and conflict.

John comes from a very large family where he says he learned first-hand about generational differences from sitting around the dining room table! It is also probably the place where he learned his interviewing skills. He has worked with all four of the different generations in the workplace and knows what makes them behave the way they do (or at least he thinks he does). From this knowledge, he has helped others to understand the different values of each generation and to create better work environments as well as sharper teaching and educational tools and systems.

He is also very interested in how the brain works and how one can produce brain-friendly presentations and work situations, using lessons from neuroscience and psychology.

He draws upon over 25 year's worth of experience from speaking from the platform as well as from academia.
