After suffering a traumatic brain injury as a child, this week’s returning podcast guest was labelled “the boy with the broken brain” by teachers and peers, shaping his beliefs about his own capabilities and potential.

Fast-forward to today, and he’s transformed his challenges into strengths, becoming a world-renowned brain coach who’s helped thousands of people around the world enhance their memory and improve their brain performance.

I’m delighted to welcome Jim Kwik back for our second conversation. If you don’t know Jim, he’s spent the last three decades teaching his learning techniques to students from universities such as Harvard and CalTech. He’s also helped executives and employees from companies such as Google, Virgin, Nike, and institutions like the United Nations to get the most out of work and life.

Jim is also the author of the bestselling book Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, And Unlock Your Exceptional Life, and his first appearance on my podcast 12 months ago is one of the most downloaded episodes in this podcast’s history.

In today’s conversation, we cover many different topics relating to our brain and its limitless potential, including:

• the importance of continuous learning,
• how small changes can lead to big improvements in brain function,
• the impact of our self-talk,
• the role of our environment in shaping our productivity,
• the importance of managing our energy and emotional states,
• the power of choice in personal growth, and practical techniques for better time management and focus.

One of the highlights of this episode is a real-time memory activity that Jim guides us all through, demonstrating the practical application of his techniques and showcasing how anyone can improve their memory and cognitive abilities if they have the right strategies.

Jim is such a wonderful and caring human being and a quite brilliant communicator, who has lots of practical knowledge that he is super passionate about sharing. And, I think his own journey from struggle to success serves as a powerful reminder that each of us has a brain with incredible, limitless potential.
