Ep 4 | Dr Julia Jones | Inside The Maverick Mind

In this episode of Inside the Maverick Mind, Emyr Afan sits down with Dr Julia “Rock” Jones - a neuroscience-led performance and habit specialist who’s spent years helping leaders rethink how they think.
Dr Julia’s work sits at the intersection of brain science, behaviour and high performance. But this isn’t about hacks or hustle. It’s about understanding how the brain actually works - and how small, consistent changes can shape resilience, energy and long-term success.
In this conversation, they explore:
• Why willpower is overrated
• How habits are really formed (and broken)
• The science behind stress, focus and performance
• Why high achievers burn out — and how to prevent it
• What it truly means to build sustainable success
This is a calm, intelligent and deeply practical discussion about performance in the real world - not perfection, but progress.
