Episode 30, featuring Ava Diamond Dreyer and Andrew Blatter; interview by Jordan Abshire. Ava and Andrew preview their upcoming Brain Care Basics session at the NALSC Conference in New Orleans. Take-aways: Recruiting is neurologically demanding because recruiters are always “on” and operate in a high-stakes, low-control environment. Resulting amygdala activation and stress chemistry can distort judgment.
