Most people heard a productivity tip. This episode is about what he was actually describing without knowing it. - [E15: You Didn’t Lose Your Creativity. You Trained Yourself Away From It.](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/you-didnt-lose-your-creativity-you-trained-yourself-away-from-it/): Most adults believe their creativity faded somewhere between childhood and now. The neuroscience says something different. You didn't lose it. You trained yourself away from it. And that distinction matters more than you might think, because one of those has a road back. - [E14: Rewiring for the AI Age](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/rewiring-for-the-ai-age/): This is the final episode of our AI and the Brain series. We've covered what AI does to your brain. This episode is about what YOU do. How do you actually thrive in this world? What makes human cognition uniquely valuable? And what's the practical game plan? - [E13: The Verification Tax & Attention Hijacking](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/the-verification-tax-attention-hijacking/): Your brain evolved to trust what it sees. For millions of years, that worked. Now? Deepfakes, synthetic media, AI-generated everything. That instinct gets you fooled. - [E12: Cognitive Offloading – The Tradeoffs](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/cognitive-offloading-the-tradeoffs/): Last month we explored agency - how AI doesn't take anything from you, you give it away. This episode goes deeper into the mechanism: what actually happens in your brain when you delegate cognitive tasks to AI? - [E11: AI Isn’t Coming For Anything – It’s Your Responsibility](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/ai-isnt-coming-for-anything-its-your-responsibility/): AI is about to become invisible - like electricity. And when that happens, we'll stop examining what it's doing to how we think, work, and develop skills. - [E10: Planning For Friction: How to Set Up Your Year When You Know It Won’t Be Smooth](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/planning-for-friction/): You know your year won't be smooth. So why plan like it will be? - [E9: The Comfort of the Known – Why We Stay Stuck](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/the-comfort-of-the-known-why-we-stay-stuck/): Why do we stay in patterns that hurt us? Why do we return to familiar anger, destructive relationships, or self-defeating habits even when we logically know better? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of why the brain mistakes familiarity for safety - and what it takes to actually change. - [E8: Nutrition and gut health effects on the brain](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/nutrition-and-gut-health-effects-on-the-brain/): Your gut is talking — and your brain is listening. Discover how diet, microbiota, and even fasting reshape your brain chemistry, mood, and cognition in this deep dive into the gut-brain connection. - [E7: Fear Extinction: How to Rewire Your Brain for Resilience](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/fear-extinction-how-to-rewire-your-brain-for-resilience/): Think you're stuck with an anxious, stressed brain? Think again. In this episode of The Cognitive Performer, Marco explores the neuroscience of fear extinction - your brain's natural ability to unlearn stress responses and build resilience instead. Discover why stress literally rewires your neural circuits, how fear conditioning keeps you stuck in anxiety loops, and the specific, science-backed techniques you can use to intentionally reshape your brain's stress response. - [E6: Dopamine: The Misunderstood Molecule](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/dopamine-the-misunderstood-molecule/): We’ve all heard it: dopamine is the “pleasure molecule.” Catchy, sure. But wrong. In this episode of The Cognitive Performer, Marco Rigazio unpacks the myths around dopamine and explores its real role in the brain. Far from being just about “feeling good,” dopamine is a regulator—shaping focus, working memory, and even intelligence. Along the way, you’ll discover what happens when dopamine falls out of balance (ADHD, addiction, burnout, anhedonia) and why motivation isn’t just about willpower, but about your brain’s state of readiness. - [E5: The Hidden Cost of Creative Decision Fatigue](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/the-hidden-cost-of-creative-decision-fatigue/): Ever record take after take and still feel unsure which one was right? - [E4: Exploring the Intricacies of Cognitive Processing: Your Questions Answered](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/exploring-the-intricacies-of-cognitive-processing-your-questions-answered/): In this special Q&A episode, Marco answers fascinating questions from fellow voice actors about the brain and performance. Discover why people think so differently (it's actual brain wiring, not just personality), what dreams really do for your brain, and the surprising science behind "manifestation." Plus: where creativity actually comes from, what happens in your brain during those amazing "aha moments," and why exercise might be the single best thing you can do for brain health. - [E3: Navigating Imposter Syndrome: Evidence-Based Strategies for Voice Actors](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/navigating-imposter-syndrome-evidence-based-strategies-for-voice-actors/): Imposter syndrome, a pervasive psychological phenomenon, is the focal point of our discourse today. We delve into the intricate interplay between the mind and body as we explore this condition that afflicts many, particularly within creative professions. By elucidating the underlying neuroscience, we aim to demystify the experiences associated with imposter syndrome, ultimately equipping our listeners with empirically supported strategies to manage its effects. Throughout this episode, we will examine how these feelings manifest, their neurological triggers, and the correlation with maladaptive perfectionism. As we navigate through this complex landscape, we shall also highlight effective interventions derived from contemporary research, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of this common yet often misunderstood experience. - [E2: The Science of Performance Anxiety](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/the-science-of-performance-anxiety/): In this episode of The Cognitive Performer, I dive into the fascinating neuroscience behind performance anxiety and discuss how it specifically affects voice actors. Learn why your body responds the way it does during high-pressure situations, how anxiety impacts your vocal performance, and why trying harder often makes things worse. - [E1: Neuroplasticity for Voice Actors](https://marcorigaziovo.com/podcast/neuroplasticity-for-voice-actors/): In this debut episode of The Cognitive Performer, we dive into the fascinating world of neuroplasticity and how voice actors can leverage this brain science to enhance their performances.
