Hardwire Your Brain For Success w/ Dr. S...

COLIN BOYD
About this episode

What if the biggest thing holding you back in business isn’t your funnel, your offer, or even your strategy …but your brain?

In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Dr. Shannon Irvine - entrepreneur, neuroscientist, coach, and author of the brand-new book The 67 Day Year. Shannon has helped thousands of business owners rewire their thinking so success isn’t just possible - it’s inevitable.

We dive into:

  • Why your brain is wired for safety, not success - and how to flip the switch so growth feels natural instead of threatening.

  • How to identify and break subconscious “brake pedal” beliefs (like “I’m not enough” or “No one will buy this”) that stall your momentum.

  • The priming process elite athletes use to train their brains for performance—and how you can apply it to launches, sales calls, and big stages.

Shannon also unpacks her Mind Matrix tool and shares why rewiring your brain is the fastest way to unlock higher income, influence, and impact - without burning out or adding 27 new strategies to your plate.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not getting the results you want, this episode will show you what’s really going on under the hood - and how to change it.
