About the Guests:
By day, Dr. Sarah Sarkis is a licensed psychologist, a certified executive coach, and the senior Director of Performance Psychology at Exos. Occasionally, you’ll also find her moonlighting as a writer and keynote speaker.
Dr. Sarkis has spent 20-plus years in the trenches, exploring every corner of the human psyche. Her passion and focus these days is working with CEOs, athletes, professional coaches, and other executives striving to achieve moonshot dreams. In a nutshell, she considers herself a human performance hybrid: part shrink, part coach, part Jedi of the unconscious.
Dr. Sarkis has been a featured guest on many popular podcasts, including The Gabby Reece Podcast and LinkedIn Live. She is also a regularly featured SME in publications such as CNBC, Women’s Health, The Huffington Post, and the New York Times.
Rich Diviney, a bestselling author, leadership expert, and retired Navy SEAL commander, brings over two decades of exceptional experience to the stage. Over the course of a 20-year career, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments and served in multiple leadership positions, to include being the officer in charge of an extremely specialized SEAL selection process, curating the most elite performers through a specialized selection process.
Coby Karl is an Assistant Coach for the Philadelphia 76ers. Starting as a Seattle Sonics ballboy to becoming an NBA player, he's spent a lifetime learning the game and how to lead a team. His experiences helped him coach the Delaware Blue Coats to win their first NBA G League title in 2023. Coby learned to lead with compassion and thoughtfulness from his mentors, icons like Phil Jackson and his dad, George Karl.

In this episode of Flow Radio, hosts Steven Kotler and Dr. Michael Mannino sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Richard Huskey to ask a deceptively simple question: what is actually happening in the brain during flow? There's no flow neuron and no flow region. Drawing on their new NeuroImage paper and years of work in Huskey's lab, the three explore why flow isn't one part of the brain lighting up but the whole brain coordinating and breaking apart—the property neuroscientists call metastability—why frustration may be a faster route into flow than boredom, and a finding in their own data none of them can fully explain yet: in flow, the brain's global entropy goes down, not up. A conversation about how much of flow we can now measure, and how much is still a frontier.
In this episode of Flow Research, host Steven Kotler sits down with fellow neuroscientists Dr. Michael Mannino and Glenn Fox to unpack their viral opinion paper, "The Body Does Not Keep the Score." Taking direct aim at popular trauma psychology, the team exposes why Bessel van der Kolk’s belief that trauma is stored in the body gets neuroscience completely wrong. They unpack how the modern "cult of trauma" hijacks genuine recovery, offering instead a ground-breaking path through systems neuroscience. Discover how predictive coding, dynamic flexibility (metastability), and flow states re-wire the brain to override trauma and unlock peak performance.
High-performing teams are said to have chemistry. What's happening is synchrony—measurable patterns in brains, bodies, and behavior.
Why do the smartest people get stuck the fastest? Recorded live in New York at the closing panel of our Alliance mastermind, this conversation brings together three of the sharpest minds in human performance—Steven Kotler, Dr. Sarah Sarkis, and Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman—to dissect the moment when learning quietly becomes procrastination. They break down why high performers regress to old habits, how emotional load hijacks working memory, and why urgency feels like motivation but burns dirty on the backend. The result is a rare, inside-the-room masterclass on flow, intuition, and the subtle ways brilliant minds delay the work that matters most. Takeaways: Why learning often replaces doing—and how to break the cycle The neuroscience behind procrastination, urgency, and energy management How intuition, emotion, and identity shape performance Practical tools to stay consistent, start sooner, and protect momentum A rare, unscripted conversation straight from the Alliance—now yours.
When I think about the fastest, most creative teams I’ve ever seen, they all share the same blueprint: trust creates safety, safety fuels risk, risk sparks creativity, and flow binds it all together. That’s why I brought two of my favorite creative leaders into this conversation—Ivy Ross, VP of Design at Google, who has reshaped the look and feel of fifty-plus products and won hundreds of awards, and Jody Levy, serial entrepreneur and former CEO of Summit, the legendary community of creators and change agents. What I love about this episode is that Ivy and Jody don’t deal in abstractions. They talk about how they actually build cultures where people move faster, see further, and flow together.
