Host Sharon Richmond introduces Neuroscience of Coaching, a new show on the Mirasee FM podcast network, hosted by Dr. Irena O’Brien. In this bonus episode, Ari Iny explores the “attention network” in our minds — where the secret to focus lies.

Ari Iny is the Director of Growth at Mirasee and co-host of the podcast Course Lab on Mirasee FM.

“Often we’ll get something across our desks that feels urgent, that you feel like, okay, I really need to respond to this as soon as possible… when maybe you don’t.”

— Ari Iny

Ari Iny started at Mirasee in 2014 as the company’s Facebook ad coordinator. Since then, he has grown through working numerous roles in the organization, including head of human resources, mastermind facilitator, partner liaison, and head of strategy for Mirasee’s ACES business acceleration program.
