So, let's get started. I'm going to be sharing tools from what Richard had mentioned for my new book called limitless, upgrade your brain learn anything faster and unlock your exceptional life because I truly believe we all could have an exceptional life. And so, how many of you here have too much to learn in too little time by show hands? Too much to learn too little time. How many of you have things you need to read that you haven't gotten to yet? Have you ever like bought a book and it sits on your shelf and it becomes shelf out not real shelf help. Anybody?

How about something simple, like I don't know remembering someone's name Have you ever met somebody you get their name and then seconds later and name just disappears out of your mind and you wonder where it went? Anyone can relate to that. Well let's start with my name. My name is Jim Kwik with our company is called Kwik learning and I help people to learn quickly. Kwik really is my last name. I didn't change it to do what I do. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1 JUNE 2020 With a name like quick my life my pretty much planned out, my father's name, my grandfather's name. I mean, I had a to be to be a runner back in school, which is a lot of pressure when it says quick right on your shirt. I have to be careful when I'm driving because I can't talk my way out of a speeding ticket because my driver's license says quick right on it. And I get to do my life's mission, which is teaching people what I believe to be the number one skill to master in the 21st century for success, which is learning faster, learning faster, focusing better remembering things better be able to read and process information applied faster. I believe it's the same it's the greatest superpower that there is. That if I was let's say, there was a genie and the genie could grant anyone wish, but only one wish. What Would everyone wish for? You would ask for limitless wishes, right? That would be the that's what everyone would ask for a man that wishes. Well, let's say I'm your learning Genie, and I can help you master any one subject or any one skill, but just one. What would the equivalent be of asking for limitless wishes? Learning how to learn because if you can learn how to learn, you could apply it towards medicine. You could apply towards money, management, martial arts, Mandarin, marketing, everything music, everything in your life gets easier. And that's what I want to talk about today. And so, I believe it's the ultimate advantage when I do these speaking. And I do trainings at Harvard and IU Caltech, Singulair University, Facebook, Google, SpaceX, all these places. What we've discovered, especially working with students at the top students, they don't study harder. They don't study longer. They study what they study smarter. The challenges is school teaches you what to learn, but not necessarily how to learn it. And that's what I want this session to be for you. And so, I'm going to be extremely tactical, you want to take a lot of notes, and I'm going to go through a lot of practical tools and techniques from the book that you can apply towards your study. Now, this works for any age in any stage. So, whether you want to get straight A's in school or you want to get into that university that you're reaching for or the career of your choice, the ultimate competitive advantage is learning faster than everybody else. That's how you're going to win in today's economy. Because knowledge is not only power, knowledge is profit, right? Nobody who's watching this will be paid for their brute strength, you're paid for your brain strength, it's not going to be your muscle power, it's going to be completely your mind power. And so, let's go into this. I'm going to go into a number of tactics right now, in order to have this power, if you will. Now, when people when I do a live event in audiences, I do these demonstrations. Well, I'll have 100 people stand up, and I'll memorize all their names as they introduce themselves. Or you can watch videos of me on YouTube, we have about 300 million views the past couple of years. People give me 50 or 100 words or 1500 numbers, and I'll memorize them forwards and backwards in out of order. And I always tell people, I don't do this to impress you. I just express to you what's really possible because the truth is, you could do that and lot more. Imagine the kind of advantage you could have if you can read, you know, a book every other day, if you can be able to remember facts, figures, foreign languages, formulas, all that information at your mental fingertips. Now, the reason why I know this is possible, is because I grew up with severe learning challenges. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2 JUNE 2020 When I was five years old, in kindergarten class, I had a very bad fall. I was I was rushed to emergency room, traumatic brain injury, and I had slow processing issues, teachers would repeat themselves over and over again after that, and I didn't understand I would pretend to understand, but I didn't really understand I had poor focus, poor memory. So, anyone who has challenges those areas, I totally get it. It took me three years longer just to learn how to read. I mean, my teachers would have been surprised if I read a book much less wrote a book. When I was nine years old, I was slowing down the whole class and I was being teased and bullied for it. And a teacher came to my defense, but I remember what she said. She's like, that's the boy from the whole class. That's the boy with the broken brain. And that label became my limit. So, every time I didn't do well on a test, which is pretty often, or kick for sports distributions pretty often, I would always say, because I had the broken brain, right, that became my inner talk. And so, I learned how to be able to upgrade my brain. And what I want to do is share with you a handful those strategies, so you could apply that towards school, or you could apply that towards life. All right. And so, whether people, and I don't know if we're connected on social media, that kind of thing, but when people say, I learned how to read, I want to talk about superheroes a bunch. And I talk about superheroes because I learned how to read by reading comic books late at night. Something about the stories the illustrations brought it to life. I don't know how many of you. How many of you watch like the superhero movies or TV shows or anything like that he like, he got over those things. So, when people see me on Instagram, they see pictures of me with Tom Holland or Chris Hemsworth or Brie Larson and those individuals, you know, it's, I work with actors, helping them to speed read scripts to memorize their lines really quickly, too.
