• Anne-Laure Le Cunff: Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World

  [Excited to connect with you! If you'd like to schedule a personal 1-on-1 Zoom conversation with me, the host, simply email [email protected] (that's .co, not .com). Looking forward to our conversation!]Anne-Laure Le Cunff is an award-winning neuroscientist and entrepreneur. She is the founder of Ness Labs, where her weekly newsletter is read by more than 100,000 curious minds. Her research at King’s College London focuses on the psychology and neuroscience of lifelong learning, curiosity, and adaptability. Her book, Tiny Experiments, is a transformative guide for living a more experimental life, turning uncertainty into curiosity, and carving a path of self-discovery. Previously, she worked at Google as an executive on digital health projects. Her work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Forbes, Financial Times, and WIRED.Please paste any links that you'd like me to include: https://tinyexperiments.org/ https://nesslabs.com/ https://x.com/@neuranne https://instagram.com/neuranneSummaryIn this captivating episode, Anne-Laure Le Cunff takes listeners on her remarkable journey from Google executive to neuroscience PhD candidate, revealing how this unconventional path shaped her philosophy of "mindful productivity" and "systematic curiosity." Drawing from her book "Tiny Experiments," Anne-Laure challenges traditional notions of linear career progression and offers a refreshing alternative: an experimental approach to personal and professional growth.The conversation with Bogumil Baranowski explores profound themes that resonate with anyone feeling trapped by conventional definitions of success. Anne-Laure introduces transformative concepts including the distinction between Kronos (chronological) and Kairos (opportune moment) time, encouraging listeners to reconsider their relationship with productivity. She advocates for "intentional imperfection" as a pathway to growth and introduces "growth loops" as a practical framework for continuous learning.Particularly compelling is Anne-Laure's discussion of "dancing with chaos" – embracing uncertainty not as something to fear, but as a catalyst for creativity and unexpected opportunities. She thoughtfully reframes the concept of legacy, suggesting that "generativity" – making meaningful contributions in the present – matters more than posthumous recognition.The episode culminates in a powerful redefinition of success: not as the achievement of predetermined milestones, but as the freedom to experiment, explore diverse paths, and remain curious throughout life. Anne-Laure provides practical strategies for breaking free from limiting cognitive scripts and implementing tiny experiments that can lead to profound personal transformation.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm’s employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.
