🧠 Built for bold minds and curious thinkers.

You don’t need more content.
You need a better system for your thinking.

This is about discovering patterns that click.
Systems that evolve as you do.
Ideas you didn’t know you needed —
until they land just right.
The Upgrade Loop is a weekly mental evolution.
Your way to move faster than the world does.
Fast insights, sound-driven sessions,
and frameworks that feel like you always knew them.
This isn’t about consuming more.
There’s no shortage of ideas.
What’s rare is structure.
Clarity that compounds.
Mental models that evolve.
Systems that sharpen the more you use them.
That’s what this is.

🧭 Who This Is For

You’re already sharp and successful.
You probably lead people, build systems, solve problems, or make calls under pressure.

But staying sharp today takes more than ambition.
It takes tools that update your cognitive architecture.
If you:
✅ Lead in volatile environments.
✅ Make high-stakes decisions.
✅ Solve hard problems.
✅ Think in systems.
✅ Hate fluff, love frameworks.
✅ Want smarter ways to adapt, not just react.
You’re in the right loop. This is designed for you.

It’s built by a neurostrategist and systems thinker with 15+ years in global consulting, neuroscience, and competitive systems design — someone who’s worked with top global founders, operators, and executive teams navigating high-stakes complexity.
This isn’t content.
It’s an evolving thinking system —
Built for clarity.
Delivered with rhythm.
Designed to evolve how bold minds operate.

👤 ABOUT THE CREATOR

Meet Dave Morris:
Neuroscientist, Strategist,
and Creator of The Upgrade Loop.

Strategy isn’t a plan — it’s how you think under pressure.
Let’s make that your advantage.
Dave Morris is a neuroscientist and business strategist whose research reframes cognition as the next frontier of strategic advantage.
With 15 years advising global corporations and government leaders in market analysis, executive upgrades, and competitive strategy design, Dave created the Upgrade Loop to answer one question:

How do we design systems that help people think better — under pressure, at scale, and in real time?


Dave leads B-Lab, a neurostrategy research lab exploring how attention, alignment, and cognitive performance can be measured, improved, and engineered into organisational systems to create sustainable competitive advantage.
Dave holds degrees in business and neuroscience, and his current PhD in organisational neuroscience (neurostrategy) investigates the intersection of decision science, cognitive performance, and neurotechnology.

Dave’s work blends deep research, mental model design, and decision architecture to help leaders and bold thinkers upgrade how they think.

This isn’t content. It’s a loop-based mental upgrade — backed by science, built for impact.
