He scratches his own itch regularly by combining neuroscience, technology and peak performance in novel ways and assist those I work with to find their flow triggers. Inspired by FGP’s ‘Flow Dojo’ and the Navy SEALS ‘Brain Gym’ Rob created a “Brain Room” for himself and his clients in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia.
