  What Music Is Doing to Your Brain Right Now 20.10.2025 55хв

  What happens when a psychologist trades the boardroom for a drum circle? In this episode, Andrés and Eloiza sit down with Dr. Rahul Sharma, psychologist, musician, and founder of the award-winning intercultural music group Funkadesi, whose revolutionary approach to corporate problem-solving is turning traditional leadership training on its head. From using rhythm and drumming circles to unlock emotional intelligence and team cohesion to his belief that music transcends barriers in ways words never can, Rahul breaks down why the most innovative companies are ditching conventional methods for something more primal. He also explores the psychology behind group rhythm, how cultural diversity strengthens problem-solving, and why the future of workplace transformation might just sound like a beat.
