​❗Get comfortable being uncomfortable! Humans have evolved over millions of years, but our inner brains have remained surprisingly static —while external stimuli have shifted from threats like lions to fears like presentations, we still react with primal feelings of fight or flight. 💫

🎤 Improv is the best tool for directing the part of your brain that controls fight-or-flight responses. It allows you to navigate into a state of flow and a space of calm, creativity, confidence, and more. Computer coding, knitting, yoga, writing—whatever drives your inner happiness—when you're in that flow state, your brain doesn't question whether you're good enough to do what you're doing. You're just doing it and feeling fulfilled.

🌟 Don't miss this fascinating (and 100% improvised) conversation with Anthony Veneziale and Vivek Venugopal from the incredibly talented improv group Freestyle+, born of the Tony Award-winning Freestyle Love Supreme. Discover what happens to your brain when you practice improv and why it's considered a silver bullet for anyone preparing for a speech, a nerve-wracking conversation, or participation in a project with new people. Learn how improv encourages flexibility and adaptability, enhances communication skills, fosters creativity and spontaneity, builds confidence, reduces anxiety, and promotes playfulness and joy.

🎧 Listen now and learn more! Improv is a proven tool for shaking up your preferred pathways, becoming at ease with risk, and living a more fulfilled life.
