How do you do these things? How do you learn faster? How do you read faster?

How do you remember more, right? And so our the goal is to be the best version of ourselves. And it starts with our mind, because our mind controls everything, our brain controls, our relationships, our career, our health, and everything, our habits, everything. So there are four keys to learning any subject or skill faster. What I want everyone to do right now is to think about a subject or skill. It could be making love, it could be mandering, it could be mus, it could be martial arts, it could be marketing, anything that you want to learn faster. There are four keys to learning any subject or skill faster.

And I want you to remember this, fast, F-A-S-T. I'm gonna go through this rapid fire. All right, so the F stands for forget. And you're like, Jim, you're a memory expert. Why are you telling me to forget something? One of the reasons people learn slowly is they feel like they know something already, right? And you know this, right?

This is coming back to a beginner's mind in order to learn something faster. You have to empty your cups, you can learn something new because it's cliche, but it's true. Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's opened, all right? So temporarily forget about what you know about a subject. And so, you know, if you're listening to a podcast

and it happens to be on one of your, you know, the subjects that you're talking about, then if someone knows about that subject, temporarily forget about what they know so you can learn something new. The second thing I would forget about are situational things. So the reason why I say this is like, remember we can't multitask. So if you're trying to listen to a podcast and do five other things at once, it only gives you about 20% of your resources to be present. People don't learn faster because their attention is split.

So you don't want to do that. The third thing I would say to forget, and something you could do is just, if something comes in your mind, just write it down. You know, you think about the dry cleaning, you think about the client stuff, just write it down, because you don't want to try not to think about it, because what you resist persists. I tell you, don't think of a big pink elephant or a polka dot giraffe, you're going to think about it more, right?

So don't try to fight it, and just write it down. So forget about situational things. And the third thing you wanna forget are forget about your limitations. And what I mean by that is all behavior is belief driven. And a lot of us have this negative self-talk. We say, oh, I'm getting too old, I have a horrible memory. But I was-

Never would have been able to in the past room, but I remember a name. Exactly. And so I'm horrible with names, but I always tell people, if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep always tell people, if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them. If you argue for your limits, they're yours.

And so you want to be very careful with yourself talk. I remember I was preparing for a marathon. So my last name really is quick. I didn't change it to you. I love it. KWIK. That's not his name. So I didn't change it.

It's my father's name, my grandfather's name. But my life was pretty much planned out. I had to be a runner back in school, which is a lot of pressure, when it says, quick, right on your shirt. I had to. Because what if you were the slowest dude? Exactly. And then so I have to be careful when I'm driving because the worst name to have in your

driver's license when you get pulled over for speeding is the name quick, because you're not going to talk your way out of ticket. And I get to do my, my, my, which teach people how to learn faster. But anyway, I was preparing for this marathon and part of, I was reading this book and one of the chapters was the psychology, the mental training part of it. And I remember reading this verbatim. It said this word for word. I'm a memory expert. It said, your brain is and your self-talk is a program that will run. So if you tell yourself you're not good at remembering names, you will not remember the name of the next person you meet because you program your supercomputer not to.

And that's why I think it's really important to get rid of your ants. Automatic negative thoughts. Kill those ants. Automatic negative thoughts. We all have that. And we do. We do, right? And so part of it is just like what you said, either just go on like a little fast, right?

You know, negativity fast or what are people called in terms of the complaining that we do. I think even a three letter word, very simple word like yet also changes the meaning for things. Like, I don't have a great memory yet, right? Right. Or something simple like that. I still say things like this, obviously, I don't think they great memory yet, right? Or something simple like that. I still say things like this. Obviously, I don't think they ever truly go away,

but I'm so much more conscious of it now. Like, I've been trying that in the office with saying, I'm sorry, I reflexively say I'm sorry. And it's like about everything. Chicks do this, I think more than men, often. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Like, and so then I started saying, I'm sorry, not sorry. So even when I'm public, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry.

So now at least I'm noticing it. I think I am saying I'm sorry a lot less because I've trained my brain. So whatever your negative thing is, it's okay if you say it as long as you don't have to publicly take it back because I'll be in weird places, like I'll be with the waiter.

I'm like, sorry, not sorry. And I'm like, what? I'm like, it doesn't matter. But I think that just recognizing, even if you pick one negative thought, usually there's an umbrella negative thought and there's a lot of other little ones beneath them. But I think that's how I've gotten rid of them

is by being very clear what they are now. I think all the beginning of all change is awareness. Awareness. Even when it comes down to food, if you're eating a very clean diet, all of a sudden you eat something that's unhealthy, it just stands out, just like our negative thinking. I would be just as concerned with you putting your body, as we are concerned with what we put in our body, what we put in our brain in our mind. And so keep it positive, right?

So get rid of the ants. And so get rid of the ants. Automatic negative thoughts. Automatic negative thoughts. And so you want to forget about these limitations because it's like, you know, it's like the, what they talk about with elephants, like you see an elephant at a circus and you wonder why it doesn't just pull its way off and you know, that rope and that stake in the ground. The reason why is since that elephant's been a baby, it's been tied to that same rope to

that same stake in the ground. And in the beginning, you would try to, you know, make its way free. You would pull and pull and pull and struggle. But after a few days, maybe a week or two, it learned that it's helpless. So even when it grew into this incredible, that could pull down the whole circus tent, it still doesn't because in its mind, it's still that weak. And so that's learned helplessness. Right.

And we learn that two a lot of times, negative things that we've heard from our parents. That's what we carry to our life. Negative self-body image. Yeah. Or even when it comes to any of these topics, whether it's sex or scholastics, it's all the same. We all have these negative beliefs about certain things and all behaviors belief driven. And so we set the thermostat that we talked about earlier, that is certain level and it just reaches that. And so you

want to forget about those things. The A and so F stands for forget. Forget about what you know about a subject. Forget about what's going on situationally and forget about your limitations. The A in fast stands for active. And this is huge, all right? If you wanna be a better learner, if you wanna better memory, if you want better focus, you need to be more active.

And what I mean by that is if you are overloaded with too much to learn too little time, it's because you and I and most of our listeners, we all grew up with the 20th century education You know 20th century education prepared us for a 20th century world Which at the turn of the century was working in working on farms working in factories And it really was like an assembly line It was like one size fits all

Squally by yourself don't talk to your neighbor, you know, and it just it was cookie cutter approach to learning and now We live in a world that's so different to learning, and now we live in a world that's so different right now, right? We live in an age of autonomous electric cars and spaceships that are going to Mars, but our vehicle of choice when it comes to learning and education is like a horse and buggy. And that's why we do this so slow.

It's true, it's so slow. I know, right? I don't know how. But one of the reasons why is 20th century education was so passive, it was like you're being lectured to and you're supposed to just consume information. But the human brain doesn't learn by consuming, it learns by creating.

And so the human mind, it doesn't wanna just consume and be lectured to, it wants to create because we are all creators. And so how can you be more active? So active would be, for example, taking notes, active would be asking questions, active would be sharing this information and teaching other people.

Because here's the thing, learning is not a spectator sport. Learning is not a spectator sport, any more than love making is, right? And so it's not a spectator sport. Well, it depends if you're into that kind of thing, but right. So you have to roll up your sleeves and you have to get involved to get the benefit.

So you want to be active. The S and FAS we already talked about, that's state. Right? And so if you want to learn faster, all learning is state dependent. I would never want to learn something in a dull, bored state because you're not going to retain any of it. So whatever you could do, the up the emotion, either physically or mentally. And one of the best ways is to monitor yourself talk, right, or change or put a smile on your face or get fascinated

There's a roomy quote that says sell your cleverness for bewilderment Like when's the last time we felt bewildered about something, you know playful about something like when you even play like who are the fastest learners? You know children right children can learn musically how fast can they learn a musical instrument? How fast can they learn a second or third language? And I think one of the reasons why, you know, is because they play all the time. But as we grow older, we stop playing. And I don't think it's because-

I think about that. I was like, what happened to recess? Like there was a reason why we could, I always tell them, I'm like, go walk around the block, Jamie. I say that throughout the time. Like just sitting at their desk. And the place-

Larps moving around a lot of the office, but you could walk too. But Jamie, it's just sitting like, right, but we had recesses kids who now we played and you come back in right any as a kid It's like you know you want to go outside and play and later is like oh Do you want to go out and hang out or whatever you change even the words and so as we grow older we stop playing But I don't think it's that way. I think it's the opposite. I think it's we grow older because we stop playing Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not like it's not like we stop playing because we grow older Maybe we grow older because we stop playing I think so I think so too. You know what I mean? It's not like we stop playing because we grow older, maybe we grow older because we stop

playing. I think so too. And so add play, that's a state of mind. And when you're playful about something, you're more active. And finally, the T and Fast stands for Teach. And this is a huge one. If you want to learn something faster, learn with the intent of teaching somebody else. We've all heard that phrase, those who can't do Teach.

I never thought it was a negative. Those who can't do business, teach business. I actually thought it was like, oh, if I can't do something, let me teach it. And then by teaching it, I'll learn how to do it. And so let's say we're going to go through all these brain hacks right now. But let's say you're listening to this

and you're thinking about somebody you wish was listening to this podcast right now with you. Think about it right now as you're listening to this, one person you think could really benefit from this, right? And so what I would say is, imagine yourself having to give a presentation in front of that person tomorrow. You know, would you pay attention differently? Would you concentrate differently?

Would you ask better questions? You know, would you take notes differently? Of course you would. Because here's the thing, when you teach something, you get to learn it twice. When you teach something, you get to learn it twice. So now, why not learn with the intent of teaching it? So that's fast. Forget what you know about a subject. A, B, active, S, monitor your state, T, learn with the intention of teaching somebody else. So what I'm going to share with you right now, seven keys for memory names and faces.

I'm going to teach you seven keys for memory names and faces. And then I'm gonna share with you right now, seven keys for memory names and faces. I'm gonna teach you seven keys for memory-nose faces. And then I'm gonna teach you the 10 things you need to do to unlock what I call your quick brain. Because really, this is not just about mental intelligence. Yes, you'll learn facts and figures and formulas and your friends name faster, but really what I want people to do is not just be more mentally intelligent,

I want them to have mental fitness. People don't know this, but one third of your memories predetermined by genetics and biology. One third of your memory. Two thirds is completely in your control. So we get to write it's not my family. Yeah, so let's say they had to activate.

Right, so it's genetics. And when I'm talking about, so independent of your age, your background, your career, your education, your financial situation, your gender, your IQ, let's go to names when face is real fast. Here's a quick brain hack. So when you're out there, because I see you, you're on stage, and afterwards you're mobbed with people,

and they introduce themselves. How do you remember all those names, right? So what I want you to do is I want you to be swav. Be swav. Be swav. So you're looking in the mirror, you're checking your makeup, people are checking their outfits and everything,

and you say to yourself, I'm gonna be swav. Next time you're out and about, you know, and you wanna remember names. The B is believe, because if you believe you can or believe you can't, either way, you're right. Okay. So you, I will believe that I can. Right, and so you need to be able to believe it,

to be able to achieve it. And that's really the thing. It's not, it's not, you'll believe it when you see it, it's you'll see it when you believe it. Right, because success is an inside-out process. So that's the B is believe, get rid of the negative self-talk. The E stands for exercise, right?

And because the bad news that takes effort, the good news that doesn't take as much as you think. So I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm saying it's gonna be worth it. Because remember the name is so important. So practice makes progress. Now the SWAV, yes, the first thing you do is you say the name. So you just literally repeat the name back to them.

So common sense, but it's not common practice. But the reason why you say it is because you want to make sure you observe it correctly. So if a person's name is Ted, you don't want to say it at the end. You don't want to say goodbye, Ed, you know, 30 minutes later. You want to get corrected up front. And because a lot of times there's ambient noise, and you're at an event, or whatever it is, you say in the name, the U is you use the name.

Now notice you use it, you don't abuse it, right? Emily is so good to see you. Emily, you wanna grab the love, Emily, I'm gonna top it, that'd be an abuse, right? They write, abuse events, slightly creepy, right? Right, you wanna use it three or four times in the context of the conversation, right? The A is you ask about a person's name, right?

And so this is really neat because, you know, you're mentioning, you know, people's names were pretty common, right? Mary Ted. Yeah, or like most men's names, one syllable. Yeah, and then they're just very, weirdly, correct. And so asking about a person's name,

you know, so when you meet the rare times, you meet somebody in their name is unusual, different, maybe 10, 20% of the time, Afsau, RidaGurr, you meet somebody with a different kind of name, then you ask about, what can you ask about a person's name? I feel like, oh, that's interesting. Is your fam for it? Exactly. Exactly. Let's see, what's the origin or your name after, how you spell it, what does it mean?

You can ask those questions. That's what I would do if somebody's name you haven't heard before. Because what's everyone's favorite subject themselves right exactly right and so the people are flatter so I was doing a training at exactly I was doing a training at the um the country's largest life insurance company about a hundred people in the audience and the Training director's name was Nan Kitah, Nan Kitah, and I was like wow, it's a beautiful name. How do you spell it? Where's it from? What does it mean? And she paused. I was like, what does it mean?

And she said it means graceful, following waters. And I was like, wow, it's kind of interesting. And then, you know, her co-workers kind of made a little noise. And I was like, how long have you worked here? She was like, you know, five, six years. I'm like, with everyone here, she's like, yeah, a lot of good friends in my wedding. I was like, raise your hand if you need to.

That's what Nankita's name meant. Out of a hundred people, how many people raised their hand? None. None, right? And remember, a name is the sweetest sound to person's ears. So you ask about a person's name, right? And then finally, the V and the E and Swav, the V is visualize the name, right? And so I bet you're better with face.

I bet most people are better with faces. I remember, I'd say, I'm a little better. You go to somebody and you say, I remember your face, but I forgot your name. You never go to someone to say the opposite. You never go to someone and say, hey, I remember your name, but I forgot your face. That would make any sense.

Because your visual cortex is larger than the other areas. And so we tend to remember what we see. There's a Chinese proverb that says, what I hear I forget, what I see I remember, what I do I understand, what I hear I forget, I heard the name, I forgot the name, what I see I remember, I saw the face, I remember the face, and going back to doing practice, exercise, I understand, right? And so if you tend to remember

what you see, then try seeing what you want to remember. So this is really easy to do with those single like those single syllable names that you mentioned, you know, you mentioned someone named Jim, you just imagine them literally just at the gym. And it sounds so silly and third grade, but again, children learn fast, right? They have imagination. So a person's name, for example, is Mary.

Imagine you meet someone Mary at Mary, right? And then all of a sudden, you imagine like two lambs underneath her arms, and just like, and you make two laps. But even if it's, right, so I'd be like, oh, Mary, two, and then the next time I saw her like in a month, I'd be like, that was Mary. So watch, watch, watch this. So long, there's a different,

there's a long term, a short term, right? You want to make sure you get the short term because my goal with you right now is to overcome what I call the six second syndrome. Six second syndrome is you learn something. Somebody gives you a pass code, right? They give you their phone number. They give you their name.

You have six seconds to do something with that name. Otherwise, what happens is like gone in the ether, right? And so you need something to be able to capture it. So if person's name is Mike, imagine them jumping on the on the tables and singing on a microphone. And you're like, well, that's very childish. Yes. And that's why children learn so quickly, right? How many people had their name made fun of growing up as a kid? Right, a lot of kids, yeah. Everybody does, or they make fun of your name. And now David is therapy because he was called David,

the David. He doesn't even know what a David is, and he's a therapy for like 10 years, because he doesn't know. Exactly, sticks with you, right? And that's how kids remember things. They make fun of, they use their imagination. And so what I would say is, it's memorable.

So meet someone named David, for example. I meet someone named David. Everyone's named David. And I imagine myself literally just taking a sling shot and just hitting them in the nose. Imagine every time you met a David, you would just put a sling, you know, now David, why would I use a sling shot?

David and what? Galife. So David and Galife. So that would remind me of that. And so every single time, you're like, yeah, now, but this isn't the- Do you ever go galife and we David to them. So you're true. No, then you would have to go through a totally different training, but here you need a different. But your true memory knows the difference though, right? You just need something to focus. So do you do that automatically? Is it automatically?

Automatically, but here's a thing you should do this. First of all, when I'm hitting it, I'm excited. I'm excited. David and you know, in the nose with a slingshot, I'm doing this in the privacy of my own mind. Where I'm not sharing this with David. And so when I'm at a party, right, you and I see each other a lot of gatherings and stuff like that, I see Mary holding the lamp, see David like that, I see Bob bobbing for apples,

I see all, I see Carol, Christmas caroling. So do you, for these names, you do a pop up map. What did you do for Matt? Cause every guy's name is Matt. Right, and so this is the thing. It's not like a door-mat. Yes, and so imagine being Matt and you're using their tie for a door-mat, right?

And so here's the thing, it's always one to one. Whenever you meet a mat, you always use door-mat. Whenever you meet someone named anything. You meet someone named David, I always use a slingshot. Whenever I meet someone named Mary, mic, microphone. Right, I always use the same thing, right? Okay, but you never want like so so person name is John you could picture one Bathroom

Okay, great. Yeah That works right now in your in your mind so anytime you meet John That's what you always associate and then here's a magic right once you know their name It's only a means to an end once you have the the end, which is knowing their name, the means disappears, the pictures disappears. It's just meant to get you to focus on the name and the person. It's good. And once you know it, you disappear.

And then when I would recommend people, like, well, how do I hack that and make it even better? What I would do is I would go, because I know you have listeners all around the world. I would go on your government, census bureau, find the most used names, like, you know, they list all the hundred and top that the most used names, like, you know, they list all the hundred and top most popular baby names and everything

for that year, whatever. And just come up with pictures for the top hundred. If you did that, again, as an example in the US, and you just look at all the top, you come up with a picture, like 10 names a day for 10 days, right? And for male names, if you come up with a picture for those names, like James is jam or whatever, then you have the pictures for 60% of the male population in the US.

I mean, that's just smart, right? For female names, top 100 is like 40%, because there's more creativity and such. But that's working smart. And then every time you meet somebody, you use those pictures. That's visualization. That's what you do on it.

That's very helpful. And then finally, the E and Swab stands for end, and meaning you end the conversation using their name, right? Because if you could walk into a room and meet 20 strangers and leave saying goodbye to every single one of them by name, who do they all remember? Right. You're the good guy that even know who you were. Right. Because that's a standout skill.

Because before you sell anything, what do you sell yourself? Yeah. No, I get it. That's, that is like, that could just save me. That is helping me a lot. I see that. I go to conferences, I do things like, what's their name? And we've all been out with our dates or friends.

We're like, you whisper, like introduce yourself, like hair over their name. How would you have done that? You got to tell your name, right? So, God, if we could solve this problem. Yeah, I'm saying to be better with names, remember mom.

Remember. How about facts that come in random? I have the obsession, but I got it right, everything now and then I forget where I wrote it, but'm saying to be better with names, remember mom. How about facts that come in randomly? I have the obsession, but I got it right, everything down, and then I forget where I wrote it, but like you're saying like in relationships, we're saying if someone says, okay, because one of my big things when it came out in a relationship, I'll give you an example, I was dating someone years ago, and I said I would get the cake for his birthday, and I was on an email with 20 of his friends. Yeah, I'll tell you.

And I email, I said, you guys, I got the cake, because he was my boyfriend. And I was like, great. And then I remember the day before we're going to the beach in San Francisco, we're going to Stinson Beach. If any of my friends are listening to this, you guys all know this incident. It was a very dark time. But we're going, and I'm like, oh, but I gotta get like a bikini wax for it, because we're going to the beach. I'm like, oh, but then I gotta do this. And it's not because I'm a selfish girlfriend. I thought I'd get the cake after the bikini wax. And then after Charlotte wanted to stop at Walgreens and then whatever. And then obviously, we're on the road to go to the beach.

I'm like, my mind's going, oh shit, I didn't get the cake. Even though it was on my mind for two days, the cake, the cake, the cake. And then we're driving there and there's no turning back. I'm like, okay, at dinner, I will run at the cake. So anyway, he's like, my therapist thinks you have ADD, how did you forget the cake? So how do you not forget that? And that's a really extreme example. I can't, I still feel bad now. I tell you I'm going to eat the cake. You probably do you not forget that, and that's a really extreme example I can't, I still feel bad now.

If I tell you I'm gonna get the cake, you probably need to back up, but yeah. And I loved him, I wasn't that I was trying to pass, I'm like I was, I love John. Yeah, I mean, just we weren't taught how to do this, right? And because nowadays we don't have to, because we have smart devices and everything. And when you're driving a lot of times,

you can't write things down because you're driving, or you know, you're in the shower, I don't know what people would call you in the shower. But it's the same kind of thing. You go to the grocery store to buy one thing, you come back with two bags of groceries. Yeah, that one you need it with. You forgot that one thing that you need to do, right? And so we all feel absentminded.

I'll give you actually, I'll give you a solution for this. I'll give you one tool, like one quick tip. Let's take a quick break to give a shout out to our amazing sponsor and we will be right back All right, so I'm gonna give you a tool a memory tool right now on how to memorize speeches and facts Like really fast, okay? So this is attributed to Simonides 2500 years ago in ancient Greece They didn't have teleprompters and smart devices and printing presses. They had to have a great memory.

And so he was giving a poetry reading. And when he was done, he left the building, something really tragic happened. The building collapsed and killed everyone that was there. And he was a lone survivor. And as being the lone survivor, he had the responsibility to help in the family members identify their loved ones.

But he was able to do so because he remembered where all of them were sitting. And aren't you like this also? Can't you remember like at dinner, like who was sitting to your left, who was changed your right? Because human memory, we remember things in locations. We remember things in time and space.

Because back in as a hunter and gatherer, you didn't need to memorize pass codes and numbers. You need to remember where things were. You need to remember where's the clean water, where is the fertile soil, where is the enemy tribe, where is the crops and everything, right? Because that was your survival. So we store information in space. So watch this. I'm going to take a place that, oh, okay. I could fix your list back when you're going back there in terms of getting a bikini wax and then also the cake and also Charlotte You remember all this right? I'm gonna show you how to be able to memorize the year to do list

I'm also gonna show you how to be able to memorize the speech without no it's because it's the same exact technique I need this so badly. So this is called the low-key memory. Okay, low-key low-key low-key meaning location Meaning we store information in spaces that we're familiar with so So what this technique is basically saying is take your home off of a place you're very familiar with, your home, your body, your office, and why not since you're so familiar within your mind store the information you want around those places. So take the first piece of information store in the first place, the second piece information in the second place, the third piece of information, the third place. By the way, have you ever got an argument and go, sorry, sorry, in the first place this and the second place that, that's where it came

from. That language came from that 2500 year old memory technique where people used to store information in imaginary places inside their mind. Now, the technique has disappeared. Wow. But that language, English, and linguistics is still there. Let's do this actually interactively, sorry. So everybody right now, we're going to go through an exercise.

It'll take a couple of minutes. So we're going to go through an exercise. It'll take a couple of minutes. So we're going to go through it a quick visualization exercise. So I train a lot of actors. A lot of the top TED talks, I train them on how to give a speech without notes. Right? Now, you don't want to know a speech verbatim, right? Because you want to, it's sound authentic, you want to sound natural, but you want to know the key points to your speech.

Because you know this, right? If you're going through points to your speech and then somebody asks a question, you go to know the key points to your speech because you know this right if you're going through Points to your speech and then somebody asked a question you go to answer them and you come back You're like just like you know like where was it right but here you know exactly where you are So we're gonna take 10 points to a speech and we'll put in 10 different places Okay, then I'll walk you through now remember I said in the beginning I said one third of your memories predetermined by genetics and biology but two thirds is your control Let me tell you the 10 genetics and biology, but two thirds is your control. Let me tell you the 10 things that are in that two thirds.

There are 10 things that activate what I call your quick brain. All right, so I'm going to go through them really fast. Okay. So, if you want a strong memory, without even using technique, do these 10 things. So, number one is a good brain diet. So, there's certain foods that are really good for your brain. Certain foods that make you spastic, you can't focus, it makes you, you know, have memory lapses, but there's certain foods that are really good for your brain. Avocados, blueberries,

broccoli, coconut oil, eggs, green leafy vegetable, salmon, our sardines, you know, tumeric, walnuts, dark chocolate, all good for your brain, right? So good brain diet, you are what you eat, right? Number two, killing ants, we talked about this. The second thing you want to be able to do is get rid of negative thoughts because it's not good for your brain. Because you're, you know, we talked about here. She's the thing. When you say, when, remember I was saying,

you fight for your limitation, you get to keep them when you're saying, oh, I'm too old, I don't get this, this is really my family, I'm so forgetful, whatever it is. I'll never do it, I always failed. Right, all of that. Your mind is always eavesdropping on yourself talk. Your mind is always eavesdropping on yourself talks.

You want to keep it positive. So number two, killing ants. The third key to activating your quick brain is exercise, right? Because anything good for your heart's going to be good for your head, blood flow, and everything oxygen to your brain. So people who move more physically will always,

research always shows this. They'll have better focus, mental acuity. They'll do better on memory. So it's true. When I don't work out before a show or any day, but if I don't work out every day, I truly feel that the level of eyes are on marathons. Like, I need the intensity of it.

I need to. Yeah. And that's what exercise is key. The fourth key to unlocking your quick brain are brain nutrients. And that's supplementation. So if you're not getting it from your diet, because if you could do everything in a technique might not work because you're just, you're short on DHAs, Omega 3s, or B vitamins, so supplement. On top of that, number five is a positive peer group, because who you

spend time with is who you become. So true, the five people you spend time with. Yeah, we are the average of the five people we spend time with going back to those marinara ones, because it's even our habits. They'll say not even like, like whether or not you smoke or not, has less to do with your biological networks and more to do with your social networks. So it's not just your neurological networks, but it's your social networks.

It's like there's your friends, friends smoke. That's more likely to influence you, right? Because who you spend time with is who you become. But you know this, you know, we even, you know, whether it's dating or it's our social circles, it's just some people have, they're encouraging, they're have, they're encouraging,

they're challenging, they're kind, they're cheerleading for us, and other people are like energy vampires. I want to tell people to really, this one I think is very important, because if you have a lot of friends or people around you and you're like, why is it so toxic or my work environment's toxic,

I'm not saying necessary to get rid of everybody, but it's important to look at, because you might be part of the problem too, if you're seeing a lot of things come up in your life, or if you're just people and you might outgrow people you might be keep people around because they're family But I think that that is something that's so important to really pay attention where you spend your time who you look up to That's just something because there are those marinarons again going to you know brain is we start Imitating them and we start adopting their habits and their beliefs and then their values and the ones what's possible.

So it helps to be able to come out of it. On a side tangent, there's a book called the structure of scientific revolution that basically says all innovation comes from somebody outside the industry. So it's Elon Musk looking at automotive or fashion or technology or something. Because if you grew up in an industry,

you also have the same limitations and limiting beliefs that come with it. You usually take somebody from the outside and be like, hey, why aren't we doing it this way? But a lot of it is who you spend time with is who you become. So a positive peer group. I think people are basically,

some people are batteries included, but there's some people, batteries not included, and they steal your batteries, and that's a challenge. So that's number five is a positive peer group. It's good for your brain. Number six is a clean environment.

That's huge, right? Your offices are amazing. Love it environment. That's huge, right? Your offices are amazing. Love it here. It's inspiring the great light here. Because you know, you clean, because your external world is a reflection of your internal world.

And you know this. Like when your desk is cluttered or your laptop is full and everything else, you have a cluttered mind also. But when you clear it out, you have clarity also. So the success is sometimes the outside in process also. That's number six. Number seven is sleep.

This is huge, right? Because there is a sleepless epidemic. And the reason why sleep is so important. Why is that? Was this sleepless epidemic, well, it's an epidemic now. I don't feel like people were always complaining about sleep. Yeah, and I think a lot of it has to do with our digital devices. How about caffeine, the fact that we never eat the drink as much caffeine?

Yeah, you're not supposed to have caffeine past 2pm. But like we used to have one cup in the morning, like 30 years ago, right? And there's Starbucks and now everyone took... Yeah, I know, I agree. And digital. Everything's digital. I think the world we live in right now, the amount of electromagnetic fields that are out there, it's just so much stuff that are vying for attention.

And so what I would say is sleep is so important because number one is where you clear out plaque out of your brain that leads to Alzheimer's and dementia. So that's important. Number two is where you consolidate short to long-term memory. So all those all-nighters aren't helping. It's better to get sleep. Third reason is I talked about before

is remembering your dreams because you need to be able to sleep to get into that REM stage where you're actually dreaming But you're not getting it if you're short-changing or sleep and so make sleep a priority like literally Side note, do you remember your dreams every single night? I I don't remember all my dreams, but I still remember one. Yeah, I do a process We the next episode we put we're putting out is one on lucid dreaming and this is where you can actually control your dreams Where you're actually lucid aware that you're dreaming. And that way you get the physiological benefits of sleep, but you can actually do stuff inside your mind. That's really cool. That would be on the

quick brain podcast. Quick brain. Okay. So sleep is so important for all those reasons, you know, for health reasons, but long-term memory for your dreaming also as well. So, but you have to make sleep a priority. Like because if you're not sleeping, you're not at your best. Like literally you have to make sleep a priority. Like, because if you're not sleeping, you're not at your best. Like literally you have to sleep your way to the top because that's the goal. Because you can do everything else right, but if you're not getting good night's sleep,

how's your mind the next day? How's your focus, how's your memory? You can't solve problems, you can't do anything. No, you can't. Right, so for me, you want to go to bed at the right time, you want to be able to, you know, and the early, before midnight, it's always better because you get deeper,

you get deeper rest that way, blackout curtains, because it's not just your eyes, it's also you have photo receptors on your skin too. So even any little bit ambient lights could throw you off also as well. They put like little red lights behind like somebody's knee cap and it'll actually affect their sleep. I mean, it's things really.

I'm working on that black out curtains. So the black out curtains are really good. Get rid of the digital devices. That's the big thing, screens. Anything with the screen that's emitting blue light is really bad because it stops the secretion of melatonin, which helps you to relax and go to sleep. So when you're looking at your phones, your iPads.

How about not looking at your phones and iPads before, like an hour before, sleep for two hours? A couple of hours beforehand. Because, or if you're going to use your computers or something, then use like, you know, a lot of your phone has that dimming devices, or flux on your computer, or something that gets rid of the, or where the, the, the blue blocking the sun, the glasses. Yeah, they do. I do. So, when do I remember that you were at night? Night time. Especially if I'm on a digital device because you want to train your brain. And so anything you all, we did four episodes on hack and sleep because it's such an important topic. Yeah, you have to, Jim, you've come through. Yeah, I've had some serious sleep issues,

sleep apnea and I've tried everything. So like this is, make sleep a priority. And so that's number seven. Number eight for quick brain is brain protection. So basically protect your brain. It's very fragile. It's just like all the concussions people get, the accents, they're not wearing their helmets, especially for the kids. I had a dream last night that I was on a bike.

I just remember that I was gonna say that I was not wearing an helmet. And I was like, it's cool. I'm not gonna fall. Anyway, if anyone cares about the heel of the dreams that's the, but anyway, I was in LA riding a bike with, okay, go ahead. No, I'm so glad I thought you heard my dreams.

There you go. This is working. Thank God, okay, good. So the, um, to wear helmet number eight, number nine is, uh, new learnings. And so if you want a quick brain, dedicate yourself to lifelong learning. It was interesting.

It was on the cover of Time Magazine. They did this study on super nuns. Not like super nuns. Like, they were living cover of Time Magazine, they did a study on supernons, not like supernons. Supernons? Like, they were living, it was a longevity study. It's women were living 90 and above, and they wanted to find out what was the key to them,

living longer, and they said half of it had to do with their gratitude and their faith. But the other half had to do is they were life long learners. Like, literally they were learning every single day, and because of it, it added years to her life, but not only just years to her life, added life to her years. And that's what you really want, right?

The goal is not to just do what older is to maintain your vitality, your cognitive abilities and so on. That's number nine. And finally, number 10 is a big one. This is stress management. Oh yeah. All right, and I put that out there

because it's like the elephant in the room because it's like the, it's the elephant in the room because we don't realize, it's like, fish and water, we don't see the water because it's there all the time. We don't realize how much stress runs on a chronic, like, we normalize it, right? Right. Until we're on like a beach somewhere, we don't, we're getting a massage, we don't realize how much tension we have, you know, in our mind and body, because it's just there all the time.

And so, do you have coping mechanisms to get out of stress, whether it's meditation or it's massage or it's red wine, whatever it is that sex, whatever gets you out of stress because that'll kill your cognitive. Anxiety is one of the biggest killers of our sex drive, but the more sex you have the less stress you're going to feel, guys, so just think about that choice. So, when you're thinking about not having sex right now, because you're too anxious, when you have sex, you would be less anxious. Right.

Okay. I love it. So, those are the 10 keys for unlocking your quick brain. So, imagine this, combining everything we talked about, the power of teaching other people, giving a speech without notes. Imagine now you have to give us a TED talk, right? Which is on my bucket list. Right. Imagine you had to give a a TED talk, right? Which is on my bucket list. Right, imagine you had to give a TED talk specifically,

though, on the 10 things we just learned, right? Because most people right now, they're listening to this in the car, they're at the gym, they're like, oh, I wish I would have wrote that down. Now the reason why I went through this is not. Don't quiz me. Now notice, notice, you know, don't quiz me like Bill Clinton's grandpa right now,

because I'd be so. So that was really good. So the whole thing here is people, it's in one of your out the other. It's just like, you know, our significant others, we're dating, everything else, you're like, oh, did you take out the garbage? Like, you know, remember my friend Jenny, I told you about her all the time, right?

All the time, they posted on, like, we have this private Facebook group for our podcast, people post questions. And a lot of women will say, like, how can I trust a guy who can't remember to, you know, to take out the garbage, how can I trust him with something actually important or whatever it is?

And so that's why memory is so important. But here's the thing, there is no such thing as a good or bad memory. There is no such thing as a good or bad memory. There's a train memory and an untrained memory. And I think most people are untrained. I'm not even trying to learn cheating. And here's the thing, a memory is not even something you have. A memory is not something you have, it's something you do. It's like this, you don't have focus, you do focus.

You don't have creativity, you do creativity. You don't have a memory, you do memory. Just like when it comes to love. You don't have love, you do love, because it's an actual process, right? And so when one truth... Lust is now what we're talking about. That's not a process.

Love is a process. So when you take it and turn into a process, it becomes something that's living, and it becomes a recipe, that's not a process. Love is a process. So when you take it and turn into a process, it becomes something that's a living, and it becomes a recipe, so you could duplicate that. So it's like when people get stuck and they're like, oh, I have writer's block, or I'm just not feeling creative or motivated, you don't have motivation, you do motivation.

And so that's why I love internet when it comes to learning, it's a verb, and it's not a noun, right? And so the goal here is to change everything into processes and step-by-step strategies. So let's come up with the process for memorizing a speech. Let's say you need to remember these 10 keys that we just talked about. Most people don't remember it because they are working out

or they are listening to this. And a lot of people like listening to you probably when they're taking a bath, right? Or when they're over there at work, which I always amazes me. I'm like, is that really a day, or is it a distracted day? Exactly, and they can't write it down. So how would they retain this information?

So this is the voltage suit, what you asked for, how to remember facts, and also how to give a speech without using notes, right? And so this is the location method that we talked about, this Greek order, 2,500 years ago, with store information, different places. So this is what you do. I'll walk you through, because everybody would normally

use their home, but since we're doing this all together, let's use my office. OK. So we have an office. I'm here in LA, but we also have an office in West Chester, New York, which is a suburb of New York City, right, North of City. So I want to imagine everybody do this if it's safe for you

to do, just just take close your eyes if you can. If not, then keep your eyes open, obviously, if you're driving or something. Don't close your eyes, you're driving. If you're on a treadmill just take, close your eyes if you can. If not, then keep your eyes open, obviously, if you're driving or something. Don't close your eyes, you're driving. If you're on a treadmill, do not close your eyes. But just imagine that you're on a plane and you're going to Westchester Airport, you land. And even if you can't imagine this, imagine,

you can imagine this, okay? You land in the airport, car picks you up, you're in the back seat, you go to my office, and it's a big glass building, it's surrounded by trees, all right? And when you get out, I'm gonna name 10 places in my office, and I'm gonna put the 10 keys where I lock your quick brain, one in each place. So you get out in the first place, the parking lot.

So, and just repeat after me as you're listening to this, what's the first place? It's the parking lot, good. And that's your verbal memory. And when you get out in the parking lot, I want you to imagine the first brain tip, which is a good brain diet. So I want you to imagine the first brain tip, which is a good brain diet.

So I want you to imagine all the brain foods, waiting for you in a buffet there, and you get into a big, like, brain food fight, and you're throwing avocados and salmon, and, you know, like, hoping to go. I'm pictured a bunch of broccoli and avocados,

like, when I pull up to green, it's a green parking lot. Perfect. Whatever you picture, and everyone can do this, you know, every come of them. Yeah, you guys do your own. I don't want to see you So, every note, no, it's great. So you have lots of different, you know, creative Answers here. So just you have the good brain

Diawating for you. You walk over the second place. It's a bridge. It goes over like we have like this waterfall Creates this mode around the building, but the second place is a bridge. So the second place is what? Bridge. And I want you to imagine as you cross in the bridge the second brain tip, killing ants. So I just imagine what are you doing? Oh, I'm stepping on the negative thoughts. You're stepping on the negative thoughts, right? And you're stepping on the ants, you would never do that. No.

It's going to help your brain. You get into the building and you get into the third place, which is the elevator. So everybody, not just Emily, what's the third place? Elevator. Elevator, right? And you get into elevator and the third place, exercise. So I just want to imagine your trainer is in the elevator with you. You're doing your hot yoga, you're doing your crossfit,

whatever, you're lifting weights, calisthenics. I'm jumping on it to make sure it's okay to do it. Great. And whatever you're doing, just imagine that exercise. You remember exercise number three. Get out of the elevator, fourth place is the hallway. What's the fourth place? Hallway.

And you wouldn't remember brain vitamins. So I want you to imagine just all these bottles of brain vitamins coming at you. And you're like Lara Croft or Indiana Jones just jumping over the brain vitamins. So Ginkgo below, but vitamin B, you know, you have your, your, your DHAs, your Omega threes, you're jumping over brain vitamins. Okay, you open a door to my office, immediately to the left, is the fifth place, which is the closet. What's the fifth place?

Closet. Closet. And inside the closet, your positive peer group, your happy friends. I want you to imagine all your happy friends are in the closet. All right, and then you're like, see all your friends. All your happy friends, they're celebrating in the closet. You see that?

All right, you leave the closet, you go to six places, the receptionist. What's the six place you go to six places, the receptionist. What's the six place? Receptionist. And the receptionist is cleaning the environment, cleaning the environment, mopping, vacuuming, leaching everything, clean environment. Everything has this place. Yeah. Behind the receptionist is the seventh place is the fish tank, with some place, fish tank. Very good. And the fish, they're sleeping. That's the remind you, get sleep. So I would just see Nemo, Dory. They're dead, but they're just sleeping.

They're sleeping. The fishes are sleeping. No dead fish there. Yeah, Nemo's in their pizzo, in bunk beds, snoring, just, I mean, just build it out, right? Okay. And notice, like, you don't have to have repeated. Like, traditional learning in school was like repetition.

It was like over and over, you have to repeat something 50 times. You just see this once, you'll remember it. Okay. And then from the execution of power of your imagination, the eighth place is the door. So what's the eighth place, the door to the classroom. And the door is locked.

So you put on a helmet. That reminds you to wear a helmet, brain protection, protect your brain. And you head butt the door open, and it splinters, and shatters open, you never do that, but it reminds you of brain protection. The ninth place is the whiteboard, what's the ninth place? The whiteboard.

Great, and I'm there, and I'm writing the ninth tip, which is new learning. So I'm literally writing the words new learnings on the whiteboard, and your favorite color marker. What's your favorite color? Say it out loud. Green. Great, and whatever your favorite color listening,

that's the color. You've got to choose your own. Right, new learnings, right? New learnings. And then finally, the last thing is, on the side of the classroom, I have all these bonsai trees, you know, these Japanese plants. And so bonsai trees, number 10,

I want you to remember. Bondsai tree. Stress management. Stress management. Oh, that's it. So imagine, imagine you're meditating, imagine you're getting

your best massage on the bonsai trees, the best massage of your life on the bonsai trees, right? Whatever it gives you gets you out of stress. Okay. Love making on the bonsai trees though, all right? You see that? All right. Now, everybody, you are on stage.

You're on the stage of your life and you need to remember, oh, what were the 10 keys for unlocking my quick brain? Just walk around my office. So what was the first place in my office? Parking lot. And what was there? Vatua eating healthy, healthy food. Yeah, all the brain food.

That's perfect. Number one. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is my next speech. Good, the second place you walked over the what? Bridge. The bridge.

And what did you do when you- Negative thoughts. Yeah thoughts killed those ants automatically thought very good in order to the third place is you got into the you get in the building you get into the what elevator elevator what are you doing the elevator exercise exercise third brain keys is is is your body moves your brain grooves exercise you get into the fourth place out of the elevator is the what receptionist no the receptionist. No.

Sorry, hallway. Hallway. Nice. And I'm jumping over the supplements for my brain. Yeah, brain supplements. That's number four. And then you open the door to the classroom immediately to your left is that is though as the what?

Is that the receptionist cleaning? No. I don't know. You tell me. Yeah, I think to the left of the. We walked into the office immediately to your left. What was the whiteboard? But you're going out of order because I think the receptionist was before that. I don't know, you tell me. Yeah, I think to the left of the, or, you walked into the office immediately to your left. What was the whiteboard? But you're going out of order

because I think the receptionist was before that. I don't know. I think it was, not to, not to, I don't know. The receptionist, maybe not, but I feel like she was out there in the office. What was before the receptionist? So we,

The hallway, I jumped over brain vitamins. You, and you opened the hallway, and you went into the, and then, but you know your office better than I do. Yeah, that's true. So I walked into the classroom, and then there was the white board that says, keep learning or something.

Yeah, it does, it says all that. All right, let's listen. Yeah, keep learning, but then the receptions think, God, she cleans. What was after the? She's cleaning my environment. Oh, the closet. All right, great. So number five. All the number five

supportive friends. Right. Number five is your positive supportive friends. Very good. And then from there you used to is after the closet is who who's the next is after closet. Was that that was there's a receptionist? Yeah receptionist. And the receptionist with what? She is cleaning, making sure there's a clean environment. Yeah, clean environment. That's good receptionist. And the receptionist with what? She is cleaning, making sure there's a clean environment. Yeah, clean environment. That's good for your brain. That's number six.

Wow, we're more than halfway through as 60%. This is the most amazing. Behind the receptionist is what? What's right behind the receptionist? There is, oh, this isn't the bonsai trees because those are outside. But there's something else behind her. Oh, fish, dead fish.

Yeah, see how the fish tank, very good. What are the fish doing, Emily? They're dead, they're sleeping. They're sleeping. They her. Oh, fish, dead fish. Yeah, see how the fish tank, very good. What are the fish doing? Emily. They're dead, they're sleeping. They're sleeping. They're not dead, you're not dead. You're not dead. But they're just sleeping, they're taking it out.

And this is your mind you to get sleep. To get good sleep. Yeah, everybody gets. You guys sleep is so important. Yes. And sex helps with sleep. Secks helps with sleep. It does, okay, so that's number seven.

After that, you get to the eighth place, which is the door, and how did you get inside the door? I kicked it open. No, oh, oh, with my helmet. Yes, exactly. To protect my brain. Yes, you kicked it open with your helmet. This is so fun.

Yes, so that's brain protection. And then from there, in front of the, we're almost done. Number nine is right in front of the room, is the ninth place, is what? What's right in front of the room? Is the trupons at you. I got a little... I know, because we're at the tail end, and I was seeing in terms of you. The ninth was...

You said it, ready? The bonsai tree? The white part? Yeah, white part. Oh, the white part was learned, always keep learning. Yeah, keep learning. Always be learning. All the new learning, so that's number nine.

And so nine is always keep learning. And finally, number 10 was the- The tree. The bonsai trees. What are you doing? The management for stress and anxiety. Yes, very nice. I do.

I did it. Oh my god. Nice. Okay, right. This is good. Now, by the way, now, now, so that's how you memorize a speech. You want to capture the keywords. Because you know your stuff, you just need the keyword to prompt you.

It's true. I watch you need to remember. So you take it, turn into a picture, because we think in pictures, remember you turn names into pictures, it's the ultimate tip. T-I-P, turn into picture. Because remember what we see, and then you put it in the place, and then you remember. Because your home becomes a filing system for the things you want to remember.

But if Lark was like, Avocado is like, wait, wait, wait, let me picture it. No, no, because it takes more time to say everything, because you know, we're doing with the roots.

Right, let's do that, let's do that. Watch how amazing your brain really is. Can you do it backwards? I could. Can you start with your blood and go backwards? Yeah, I could. All right, tell me. Okay, dark chocolate, one on dark chocolate, one on nuts.

Yeah, yeah, that's all yes, blueberries, and avocado.

Yeah, that's all. Yes, better. Let me show you, watch this. Do you remember the 10 brain tips backwards? Do you remember going back from all the way from the parking lot to the bonsai trees? Can you do that? I could do that. There was some disagreement there.

Let's do this. I do think your receptionist is cleaning before the whiteboard. So let's start with bondage. I'm going to have to loose this area. Let's see if we can remember this backwards. Number 10 is the bondage. That was dealing with anxiety, managing stress. Yes, stress management.

And then number 9 on the whiteboard. Keep learning. Yeah, keep learning. Number eight was the door. The door was on my friends, that was a closet. The door, very good. Yeah, very good. My friends are in the closet. The door was, oh, hitting my head against it,

protecting my brain. Yeah, protecting your brain, that's number eight. That's your TED talk. And number seven is right before that was what? I think it was that receptionist that never cleansed. So she should be cleaning that. No, that's right between the two. Oh, stepping over the brain foods in the hallway.

No. Okay, now you're not even just jumping everywhere. Okay, right. Right behind the reception, right? Oh, the dead fish. Yeah, same way. Sleeping fish. Sleeping fish.

Sleeping fish. Sleep is really important. Sleep is very important. And right before the fish. Right before the fish was, that would have been the receptionist. Receptionist. And she was cleaning my environment. It was very clean.

And what was right before the clean environment? The elevator. Okay. Jumping in the elevator. The friends in the closet? Yeah, the closet. Where the closet right before, because you're in my office. The closet?

Yeah. And that reminds you of positive friends. But I love my friends supporting me. You do. So do I. They are really good people. I wish I didn't only have sex toys in this closet. I wish my friends were always in this closet. Maybe that's why they're so happy.

It's true. Right before that, you have the hallway. I have the hallway, and that's when I'm jumping over on my brain supplements. Okay, brain vitamins, good. And then right before the hallway was what? The elevator. Elevator, what are you doing the elevator?

Exercise. Exercise, that's number three. Before the elevator was what? Was I in the parking lot? No, no, the bridge. The bridge. Stamping out those goddamn ants. Damn, man.

They've been playing my entire goddamn life. A lot of men and they've thought, stamp in those things. Yes, no, they're dead. And what's right be they are dead to you. And I hope they're dead to you and everyone who works for you. They are. Including the fish. They are. But I hope they're dead to you and everyone works for you. They are. And the right people. Including the fish. They are.

But I hope they're not dead just sleeping. Just just sleeping like the fish, sleeping with the fishes. So the number one, the first place right before the bridge is what? Avocados. You're actually right. Is the good brain? Is all the brain foods.

Healthy food, yeah. That's very good. That's very good. OK. OK. Wow. This is a good time. So everybody could do this.

You could use your body, you could use your office, you could use your home, and really create a list for anything. You know, our life, it's not about like the haves and haves not, it's really now more, you know, those who know and those who don't know. That's why I find this podcast so valuable. That's why I find reading so valuable.

You know, people committing themselves to constant education, lifelong learning. We talked about how it adds years to our life and life to their years. But it's so important to integrate every single day. It's true, and I feel like you're never done learning. There's a lot of limiting beliefs I have around. I think my ability to focus and to learn

and to read in the end of time. And I also know that I can do anything. I just noticed what you just did. Remember, if I told you before, we started this conversation that you would be able to memorize a grossly list, forwards and backwards after hearing it once, or memorize a TED talk, like 10, you know, talking points.

So I'm gonna do this with my TED talk because that seems like that's so many more, I'll have to practice it enough. Literally going through and coming up with 10 or 15 talking points and turning each one into a picture. Like, even when you had your to-dos tattoos, like remember when you're telling that story, you know, like earlier about all the things that you want to be able to do and you want to

get your bikini wax and you want to be able to get the cake. You know, and then also Charlotte. But imagine that you just imagine you're just using your body. Imagine literally bikinis on your head, right? Or cake being smashed on your nose. Or Charlotte, you know. But this also takes time. I would have had to stop.

Or would have taken time. But you know what takes time is like, refers to things over and over again. Right, repeating things 50 times to yourself. Or forgetting where you put things. Or forgetting a name. Like so, you know, the bad news is it takes a little bit effort, but the good news is not as much as people think.

And so there's no magic pill, like no magic memory pill, but there's a magic process. And that's what we're doing, is we're taking just like with what you do, with love and communication and sex and relationships, you turn into a process. So it's not like, oh, I hope I have romance or I hope I have an orgasm or I hope I have... No, you gotta make yourself the best version of yourself. Right. And you turn into a process. So people don't have to feel bad if they're not getting a result in their body or in their relationship because it becomes a recipe. And that's what we're here to do. And then when you're talking about even the negative

self-talk, you know, I believe our life is like an egg. That if an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. But if it's broken by an inside force, life begins. And all great things begin on the inside. And I believe everyone who's listening to this, you have greatness inside of you, you have genius inside of you, and now is the time to let it out.

Thank you, Jim. Thank you, Jim Quick. Thank you for teaching. Thank you for all of this. This is amazing. Very inspired. Bye, you. And bye, everything. Say so everyone should Very inspired. Bye you. Bye everything. Say so everyone should not check out Jim Quick.

Jim Quick, K-W-I-K. Check out your podcast. Take some of your courses, all your things. I mean, honestly, if everyone just, like, the best way of people doing this is, I would love right now. If everyone goes on social media, take a screenshot of this episode, post it on social media, tag Emily, tag myself, and tag your big, actually, share

with us your big aha. Yeah, yeah, what you get, I feel like, is my whole, I like six tag myself, and tag your big, actually share with us your big aha. That would be actually, excuse me. I feel like, because my whole set, I like six people sitting in the room and I feel like everyone's really moved by this. So I'm saying, I take a screenshot of this episode, share it on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, tag us both, and post your big takeaway.

Remember I talked about one of the keys to learning faster is teaching. When you teach something you get to learn it twice, share it on social media, share your big aha, and then or your big question, because that's a good question. Yeah, well answer it. That's good. You're so good. I think questions are the answers, huh? Be curious. What was your big, kind of, your big quickening?

Like what just like, what activated your orgasmic brain of you? And you know, it would really like really like because that really like if you're You're gonna stimulate any parts someone's body like I would start with the brain But brain is the largest sex organ and the brain has to be healthy It is the way it doesn't come with an owner's manual. No, nothing comes with an other user-friendly Some people some perspectives it does give perspective because I think a lot of us have so many limiting beliefs about what's possible for us And I think that the way you teach and the way you talk and the way you continue to learn yourself

Just really inspires people to realize the life and the brain are living in and the way they've experienced and stuff It's not how they have to Exactly. People got some a little bit of growth here just focus on that because how you do anything is how you do everything and Success, breed, success and really when it comes down to it it, if you really want to be fulfilled, it just comes down for me, it comes down to two things. What I love about the show is you help people really understand themselves, understand their body, understand their mind, understand their relationship, because you need to have the courage to know yourself.

Most people don't have the courage to do that. So if you're listening to this still, we applaud you because you're going deep, right? And so have the courage to know yourself, but then also once you know yourself, you know, you need the courage also to be yourself. It's true. Right? So you have the curiosity to know yourself and the courage to be that person. And then remember, the life you live are the lessons that you teach. So yeah, I would love to continue this more in other conversation.

Yeah, we will. And then just search my name on your phone's podcast app and just enjoy those. Jim Quick, yeah, we'll do it, we'll do it. I love your podcast, they're perfect for me because they're short, 10 and you get so much. They're so good, Jim, thank you Jim for being here. This is really helpful.
