In this week’s episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, we’re celebrating a birthday — and having our minds blown at the same time.I sat down with Eric Collett, founder of A Mind for All Seasons, to talk about one of the most overlooked assets in entrepreneurship: your brain. Not your mindset. Not productivity hacks. We’re talking about the hardware — the biology, energy production, inflammation, and metabolic function behind every thought, decision, and action.Eric spent 16 years running assisted living and memory care communities, became obsessed with neurodegenerative diseases, and eventually built a science-backed system that helps people improve cognitive performance, stabilize mental health, and in some cases even reverse symptoms of dementia.This conversation goes deep. We’re unpacking everything from why your “brain fog” isn’t random… to how concussions, hormones, inflammation, and even cold sores can sabotage your mental clarity… to why Alzheimer’s may actually be optional for this generation.Yes — optional. Let that sit for a minute.If you’ve ever felt stuck, unfocused, emotionally drained, or like your hardware just isn’t keeping up with your software… this episode might be a turning point.Key TakeawaysWhy protecting your brain is the #1 success lever for entrepreneursThe real difference between “software” (skills) and “hardware” (your biology)Why brain fog has 15–30 measurable causes — and no one-size-fits-all supplementHow Eric went from executive director to quitting his job in three days to start his companyWhy Alzheimer’s is now considered preventable — and what that means for youThe surprising link between inflammation, concussions, mental health, and cognitive declineHow personalized brain evaluations uncover hidden “holes in the ship”Why many people self-sabotage by withholding information from doctorsHow Eric helped transform the mental health of a young suicidal student by uncovering a clue she didn’t think matteredWhat it means to “save a million brains” — and how you can take charge of your ownChapters00:00 Introduction and Birthday Celebration01:41 Early Entrepreneurial Spirit02:55 The Importance of Brain Health05:01 Transitioning to Brain Health Advocacy09:40 Understanding Brain Function and Misconceptions12:30 Personalized Approaches to Brain Health18:24 Success Stories in Brain Health22:32 Addressing Mental Health Across Ages26:49 Conclusion and Future Aspirations
