Finding the right set of peers, building the dream team to work towards a vision, setting the table for growth—all of these are interrelated from the perspective of strengthening teams. However, there’s a layer of science behind all of the best performing companies and the humans who’re a part of those teams. When the tools from the biological sciences meet the business world, there’s a ton of possibilities that open up—from understanding one’s personality and communicating better to even making right decisions at the workplace.

Evan LaPoint is the founder of Core Sciences, a platform that helps teams accelerate to a peak performance state. Evan has been an entrepreneur in the past as well, and he sold his company Satellite to Adobe, and before that merging his firm Marketing Alpha with Search Discovery.


pushed Evan along analytics, tech, and biological sciences, data silos that we end up with in and how to tackle, internal customer vs external customer narrative, how cognitive thinking separates people's performance, concept of "intuitives" and "semi-intuitives" traits of people, hiring for mindset > skillset, conscientiousness and working mindset, learning styles and personalities for a team, why ideas have a greater value than execution, vision vs fantasy, and how great thinkers obtain clarity.
