Thriving Minds with Alberto ZandiShow Notes
This week, Alberto sits with TJ Power, a world leading neuroscientist, best selling author, and the creator of the DOSE framework.
His work investigates how dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins influence mental and physical health, particularly in the context of our digitally driven lifestyles.
TJ’s framework is designed to unlock your best life, to live with purpose, intention, focus, and a positive mindset.
This episode also unpacks why phones, alcohol, porn, and sugar, severely erode attention, mood, and drive, and how to reset your baseline with simple habits you can start today.
You will learn: • How dopamine actually works • Why chasing dopamine peaks lowers motivation • How to run a 7 day reset • How things like sleep, morning light, protein, movement, nature, and real connections support healthy brain chemistry
This conversation is a clear path back to focus, energy, and calm.

Kaspar Basse founded Joe & The Juice in Copenhagen in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and an ambition that was anything but small: he wanted to build something that could compete with Starbucks. Two decades later, Joe & The Juice has grown into a global brand with over 500 locations and was valued at $1.8 billion in 2026. But Kaspar believes one of the biggest mistakes companies make happens precisely when they become successful. As businesses grow, they introduce managers, processes, controls and layers of approval to protect what they have built. And in doing so, they can gradually remove the very thing that made them successful in the first place: culture, and quality. Kaspar does not believe great company culture comes from music, office perks, parties or paying slightly more than your competitors. It comes from people feeling agency, challenged, trusted, capable of improving and proud of what they do.
