Multi.Life conversations

In this episode of our "Company That Supports" series, Dr. Ewa Hartman speaks with Dr. Wojciech Glac—a neurobiologist, lecturer at the University of Gdańsk, and popularizer of brain science—about why what we think we know about our own minds often misses the mark on how they actually function. We discuss: why the belief that "I am rational" is only true under certain circumstances, and what really drives our choices; how stress changes the way we think and at what point it stops helping us and starts sabotaging our actions; what the reward system actually is and why dopamine is not a "pleasure hormone," but rather a motor for motivation; whether multitasking is real or if we just like to believe it is; how neuroplasticity works throughout our entire lives and what that means for mature employees in the job market; and why sleep is the foundation—and how a lack of it strips us of exactly what we need most at work. The brain's potential is immense. The question is: do we know the user manual that allows us to make the most of it?

I want to talk about your work. The other person hears: "something went wrong." The conversation loses its meaning before it has even begun. In this episode of our "Company That Supports" series, Dr. Ewa Hartman speaks with Rafał Cupiał—a business trainer, consultant, and expert in collaboration and feedback—about why feedback so often backfires and how to change that. We discuss: - why every assessment is based on a fragment of reality and how that limits the effectiveness of development conversations, - what the social layer of feedback is and why it, rather than the content itself, often determines how feedback is received, - how a few sentences at the start of a conversation can turn an attack into a dialogue, - what psychological safety really is and why it has nothing to do with avoiding difficult topics. Feedback is not a technique. It is a daily decision: are you building an environment where people speak openly, or one where they learn to stay silent?

It is easy to snap a single match, but ten together create an unbreakable structure. This is exactly how resilience is built in the most demanding environments: not alone, but through the strength of a team and a supportive environment. In this episode of our "Company That Supports" series, Dr. Ewa Hartman speaks with Wojciech Wereszka—a former officer of the GROM and Formoza special forces units, and now a leadership expert and owner of True Leader—about what business can learn from special operations units.

Does the fear of making a mistake hold you back more than a lack of competence? There is a concrete solution for this. In this episode of our "Company That Supports" series, Dr. Ewa Hartman speaks with Bart Jurkowski—a business psychologist and creator of the I'MPRO IMPRO method—about how to build flexibility and psychological resilience in a dynamic work environment. We discuss how your internal dialogue influences decision-making, what psychological safety in a team looks like and how to recognize it, which questions strengthen adaptability and openness within an organization, and how improvisation as a method helps train mindfulness, confidence in communication, and collaboration. You will also find simple improvisation exercises in this episode.

For centuries, humanity has dreamed of a long—or better yet, eternal—life. Will technology help us get closer to this dream? What would such a life look like? Is the key biohacking, human-machine hybrids, or perhaps something else entirely? And finally, how can we take care of our health today by leveraging the latest medical advancements and AI technology? In the second part of this conversation, Artur Kurasiński’s guests—molecular biologist Dr. Łukasz Sobkowiak and science communicators Ola and Piotr Stanisławscy, creators of the Crazy Nauka blog—discuss how to live longer and better in the latest episode of 404: Well-being Not Found.

Should we look for the secret to longevity in a pharmacy, in apps, or perhaps… in an evening spent dancing with friends? What would longevity actually look like in practice? And is it truly within our reach? In the first part of Artur Kurasiński’s podcast 404: Well-being Not Found, guests Dr. Łukasz Sobkowiak, a molecular biologist, and Ola and Piotr Stanisławscy, science communicators and creators of the blog Crazy Nauka, answer these questions and many more.

Reading, writing, memorizing, and perhaps even… thinking—are we at risk of slowly "outsourcing" all these skills to increasingly advanced technologies? And if so, what comes next? How can we protect ourselves from losing fundamental competencies? Or perhaps we can let some of them go without regret, gaining new ones in their place? We are asking all these questions today, feeling that while change is inevitable, its direction is not necessarily clear. In the next episode of our series, The Supportive Company, I will discuss development in the age of AI, the risks of deskilling, and the technological revolution with Dr. hab. Bartosz Żukowski, professor at the University of Lodz, a philosopher, cognitive scientist, and researcher of the human mind.

Microlearning, blended learning, gamification techniques, AI tools, new technologies, and even pop culture observation—today, anyone looking to develop themselves or their team has a powerful arsenal of resources at their disposal. What exactly do these involve, and how do they work?
