The Habit Mechanic is a science-based podcast about brain performance in the AI era.

As AI reshapes the work humans get paid to do, focus, decision-making, and mental energy are becoming the real constraints on performance. This podcast explores how to optimise your brain’s natural energy patterns — what I call Brain States — so you can do high-value work, work effectively with AI, and sustain performance over time.

I’m Dr Jon Finn, a performance consultant with 25 years’ experience working with professionals, leaders, teams, and elite performers across business and sport. Drawing on applied neuroscience, behavioural science, and real-world practice, each episode offers clear thinking and practical tools you can use immediately.

If you’re interested in improving cognitive performance, avoiding burnout, and building the habits required to thrive alongside AI — without chasing tools or trends — this podcast is for you.
