It’s one of those skills you don’t set out to plan to have but I’ve realized that’s what I do well. Then immortalizing that learning experience in something that’s like a video or writing. I’m good at thinking about what it’s going to take for someone to learn something when I’m not there. I’m not very good at teaching people in person. It’s funny because it’s a hyper-specific skill. I have realized that I’m rather good at learning things and then digesting them in a way that I can break them down and teach them to other people.
We’re on School Share, we’re on Udemy and on our own websites as well.īetween these different techniques, speed reading, memory techniques like memory palaces and other accelerated learning techniques, what’s your superpower? Is it across all three equally or is there one that’s stronger than the rest? I got interested in cryptocurrency and partnered with some experts. We have a brand that teaches people productivity, accelerated learning, speed reading and then we’ve got some other side stuff.

We have a brand that teaches people how to create online courses because it turns out we’re quite good at that. Our main thing is Udemy and we have our own premium academies for a couple of different brands. We have over 200,000 enrollments in all of our different online courses.Īre those on one particular platform, Udemy or are they across multiple platforms? I translated a lot of the materials with my instructors and the rest is history. I learned everything I could about what it takes to build successful online courses. One of the things that I learned after business school, because I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, I tried to do this startup idea and it didn’t go anywhere is I said, “What if I applied that skill set to teaching online courses?” I sat down for a weekend and opened 45 browser tabs. I went wild with it and about ten other different subjects from body language to public speaking to fixing some physical problems that I had with muscle tension. Once you can read and learn faster, you can read and learn faster about everything. I started digging into all the research that’s been done and all the past stuff that the Greeks discovered about memory to the modern-day researchers. I got excited about the possibilities of this that I started digging into the neuroscience. The beauty of that skill is once you can read and learn faster, you can read and learn faster about everything.
I did a six-week course and paid a whole bunch of money to learn this stuff in person. They’ve done a lot of training in speed reading, memory and accelerated learning. I met someone whose wife and he had developed what I would later call a methodology for super learning. About that time, I got lucky that I was interning in a VC office. I would have to go out there and network, go to events and meet people. I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to do what I used to do, which is lock myself in my bedroom, work twice as hard, catch up and figure it out on my own. As most business-related things, an MBA is more about the network than about the content.
I was locking myself in a bedroom and taking a lot of prescription medications.įor my second degree, I got accepted to a condensed MBA program, which was two years’ worth of content in ten months. I was overcompensating by working a lot harder than everyone else. That allowed me to at least close the gap, catch up with my students, go to college and do all those great things. Fortunately for me in high school, I discovered prescription medication. I always like to tell people you don’t run a podcast called Becoming SuperHuman because you were completely in love with yourself growing up.
How did you get so enamored by these different memory techniques and go down that whole rabbit hole? You’re a world expert in memory so let’s start with memory. I’m so glad we finally had a chance to catch up. Jonathan, it’s great to have you on the show.
