The show for leaders who are done glitching in the rooms that decide their career.
Hosted by Pav Lertjitbanjong — Neural Architect of Authority. 23+ years Fortune 500. 27,000+ high-stakes meetings. MBA Kellogg. Each episode gives you one concrete tool to override your nervous system pattern — before your next high-stakes room.

Every episode gives Fortune 500 leaders one concrete, biology-grounded tool — not theory, not motivational content. Something you can use in your next high-stakes room.

Why you ramble
The nervous system cascade that makes you over-explain — and the pattern interrupt that stops it before you lose the room.
Why you shrink
The appeasement response — and how to hold your ground under challenge without aggression or collapse.
Salary negotiation biology
What your nervous system does when money is on the table — and how to stay regulated enough to get what you came for.
Decision science under pressure
How Pav's BBA in Decision Science and 27,000+ high-stakes meetings informed a biology-first approach to leadership presence.
