Not Feeling Your Emotions Is Killing You - James Burnham

Everything can be quantified. Music, art, or literature can be measured. But what about emotions? In this episode, Jerome welcomes James Burnham to show us how he quantifies emotions. As an AI Emotional Intelligence Coach, James discusses his new project, an innovative app called Vibeonix that measures emotional intelligence by analyzing the frequency of one's vocal cords. The app allows users to understand their emotional palette and improve their emotional intelligence in 15 seconds a day.

They remain in us unless we allow ourselves to listen, touch, and feel them. You've got to get out of your head, so we remain in our heads. And we stay very logical, reigning in those emotions because we've been taught that." - James Burnham "It's a beautiful thing when you get out of your head and into your body." - James Burnham Connect with James!
