b'Do you ever find yourself just going along on autopilot, not stopping to think what you\\u2019re doing or why you\\u2019re doing it? Do you ever forget why you agreed to a meeting or project, or wonder how you got to where you are in life right now?\\xa0\\nOn today\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Antonio Neves, an internationally recognized leadership speaker, author, and award-winning journalist. He is the author of three books, and his latest book, Stop Living On Autopilot: Take Responsibility for Your Life and Rediscover a Bolder, Happier You, was just released.
