JUNE 2020 Jim Kwik NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

Shiley David Hi. My name is Shiley David from Oceanside, California and it is my honor to introduce Jim Kwik. Mr. Kwik has spent the last 25 years helping people improve their memory, learn to speed read, increase their decision-making skills and unleash their super brain. Throughout his career. He has worked with Ivy League university students, companies like GE and Nike, and billionaire geniuses like Elon Musk and Sir Richard Branson. His life's passion and mission are to create a smarter and more caring world by helping every person reclaim their power. Mr. Kwik, welcome to the Congress Of Future Medical Leaders.

Jim Thank you so much. Can I get by show of hands, can everyone hear me okay? I can see you for sure. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Okay, well as a I want to make this. I really appreciate you showing up here live. And I want to make this so valuable for you that this session alone was worth your time and your tuition to be here. And it's a big promise to make. But what I'm going to talk about is how to supercharge your brain to learn and achieve anything faster. I'm going to encourage you to take a number of notes. And it's a real pleasure. 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? Anybody feel came here today? like to have a better memory any of you forgot why you came here today at all? Anyone feel like absent minded like senior moments are coming way too early like read a page in a book and you'll just forget what you just read. Anyone feel like it's how hard to focus nowadays? Like how do you maintain your concentration and get things done?

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. And it allowed access because really brain is the ultimate tool to be able to get access or high levels of achievement. So, let's go through some of these strategies right now. The first thing I want to teach you, the four steps to learn a subject or skill faster.

So, think about a subject or skill, right organic chemistry or it could be an actual skill base. Four keys learning any subject or skill fast F-A-S-T, I'm going to go through this really rapid fire. The F stands for forget, okay, you want to forget and you're like, Jim, you're the memory guy. Why are you talking about forgetting? Here's the thing. One of the reasons why people don't learn faster is they think they know it already. And here's the thing in medicine because I get to work with a lot of doctors and you know, around the world. And here's the thing, the half-life of information is getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Meaning that when you graduate, you know that information becomes outdated, really fast. So temporarily forget what you know about a subject so you can Learn something brand new. I would also say while you're forgetting, forget about the things that are going on in your environment. So, if something comes into your mind, something you have to do or something like that, just write it down. Right? Don't try not to think about it, because what you resist persists, because here's the thing. How many of you by show of hands tend to multitask? And just did this interview on CNN just now for on zoom fatigue? And here's the thing, one of the things that creates fatigue, is trying to do multiple things at once, because multitasking is actually a myth. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 3 JUNE 2020 The truth is, and all the research is conclusive on this, you're not actually multitasking. The human brain can't do two parallel cognitive activities at once. And so, what you're really doing something called task switching, you're going from one task to another, and what does it cost you three things. It costs you time, which you think you're gaining. It could take anywhere from five minutes to 20 minutes to regain your focus and your flow. It's also costing you mistakes, and they actually ran these studies and this research with doctors that doctors are actually making more mistakes, doing these parallel processes, more errors, and also what it costs you not only time and error, it's actually costing you energy. So, if you suffer from mental fatigue, or brain fatigue, a lot of that you're actually burning brain energy glucose when you're going from one task to another, as opposed to sticking to one task till it's done.

So, the F stands for forget and when you forget about those things, it allows you to what focus the other F right? And so, forget about what you know about a subject so you can learn something brand new temporarily forget about what's going on. And if something comes in your mind, just write it down. So, you know you have it, you can release it. And then also forget about your limitations. Like in the book, I have this quote from a French philosopher says life is the sea between B and D. Life is the sea between B and D. B stands for birth. D stands for death. C stands for choice, right? I believe these different times they can define you, these difficult times can diminish you, or these difficult times can develop you. Ultimately, we decide that's the power of choice that our lives are the sum total of all the choices of the decisions we've made up to this point.

So I'm going to give you a number of powerful decisions you can make or choices you can make to uplevel your learning. Now that's the F forget. The A to learn any subject or skill faster, is active, active, you want to be active. Now, here's the thing. The challenge sometimes in school, is a lot of times when it's training us to do is be passive. You're being lectured to. And I just posted this research on Instagram, the human brain does not learn best through consumption, it learns the best through creation. Meaning sitting quietly by yourself, being lectured to or just listening is not how you're going to get the most out of your learning. And so, how can you be more active? You can be active by taking notes asking questions, right? Doing all the things that you know would get you more engaged in the content. Now going to notetaking very quickly, I talked about the different research on digital note taking or handwriting notes. And it's been shown that actually handwriting notes is actually better for your retention and your comprehension.

Now, I'm a big digital person, it's better to store information to share notes digitally. But one of the reasons why is you could type pretty fast. But when you're handwriting notes, it forces you to filter the information to really focus on what's most important because you can't possibly write as fast as somebody could speak. And so, part of the handwriting process, how I take notes actually is I'll take a piece of paper. And here's a quick tip, and I'll put a line right down the page, literally just a line right down the page. And on the left side, you are note taking and on the right side of the page you are note making. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 4 JUNE 2020 Now that's a subtle difference. But let me clarify. On the left side of the page is this whole brain note taking. Because all this the studies done at university saying most students do not know how to take notes properly. So, on the left side you're capturing on the right side you're creating. Alright, so what's the difference subtle. The left side, you're going to write the strategies for how to remember formulas or how to give a talk without notes on how to read faster you're capturing. On the right side, though, what you're doing is you're creating notes. You're writing your impressions of what you're capturing the questions that you might have, how you're going to apply it, how it relates to things that you already know. All right.

Now, here's really the big answer. Questions are the answer. Questions are the answer because when I'm taking notes, what I'm looking to take notes on, is I'm writing down the question that I want answers for, and then it's QRS. I'm writing the question. I'm writing the notes, the research, right, the proof, the evidence, and then I'm writing the solution or the answer to the question or the question I'm always looking to filter, but it starts with having a powerful question. In fact, even basic standardized test training says that, you know, you're not going to read pages of reading comprehension and then get to the end and then look at the questions. And they're like, Oh, I didn't know that's what they were looking for. You read the questions first, right? And then you read and they're like, oh, there's an answer. There's the answer. There's an answer because the questions act like magnets inside your mind. That's why in every chapter of this book, I start with the key questions to get your mind active because when you ask a question, it charges part of your brain. It's called the reticular activating system, RAS for short, and that RAS will pinpoint your focus. An example of this years ago, my sister. This is going back 15 years ago or so would send me photographs of a very specific kind of dog, a pug dog. How many of you have pets? Pug dog, and this pug and I don't know. Why's like emails and message you know postcard like pictures of pug dogs. And I realized like, I was like, why is she sending me these pug dogs and I realized her birthday was coming up. So, she was a good marketer, and she's planting seeds right of what she wants for birthday gift. Anyway, I start seeing pug dogs everywhere I go to the grocery store, I'm checking out and somebody is holding a pug dog at the cash register. I'm jogging in my neighborhood and I swear to you, there's this guy walking six pug dogs. And my question for you is this where were the pug dogs before? Did they just magically appear on the on earth? No, they were always there but I never paid attention to them because they weren't important to me. The human brain we've discovered more about the human brain in the past 10 years than the previous thousand years combined, right? And so, it's a remarkable in terms that we grossly underestimate what are our mental capacity, right our minds potential. But here's one of the things we know about the brain. The brain primarily is a deletion device. It's trying to keep information out, because at any given time, you could pay attention to a billion stimuli. And so, what you lead and if you paid attention to everything you would, you would be overloaded, overwhelmed, right? But you let certain things in the things that you lead in are the things that are important to you.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 5 JUNE 2020 And things that are important to you presuppose you have questions; you're engaged in it. And that's what charges? Well, when you're reading and study your textbooks, there are pug dogs everywhere, but you don't have the questions. You want to train yourself to ask the best questions. Now, here's a little bit of a tangent, but a big takeaway for you, many of you. We have about 50 to 70, 000 thoughts a day 50 to 70, 000 thoughts, the challenges 95% of those thoughts are the same thoughts you had yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and everybody wants to make these big, big exponential changes in their life. But the same level of thinking has created your situations not going to be able to solve the situation right. And when you have those 60, 000 thoughts a day there are certain thoughts that most of them actually come in the form of questions. In fact, write this down on the left side of your page thinking is the process of asking and answering questions. Right? The best achievers on the planet, they have a different mindset. And they think about a problem in a different way. So, they come up with different answers, right? So, for example, there are questions that you asked more than any other question. And I call it your dominant question, your dominant question. Like for example, this is a question you ask hundreds of times a day and you might not even know that you ask yourself this question. The example I use in the book is.

The cover quote for the book is from an actor. It's from Will Smith. He says Jim Kwik knows how to get the maximum out of me as a human being. And we spent the day, we were training. He was filming a movie, a superhero movie in Toronto, and it was the dead of winter. And he was filming from 6pm to 6am. Right everyone thinks that Hollywood is resisting. very glamorous, but all they're doing is like waiting all the time. And I remember during the day when we were going through some training, we found out his dominant question is, how do I make this moment even more magical? That's the question. He's like obsessed about. How do I make this moment even more magical? Now ask and you show what you shall receive, right? And so, he gets answers all the time. And I fast forward to that evening, or I'm out the outside, it's freezing to his family from West Philly, you know, you might know the son is there and we're freezing and we're just watching his little monitors as they reset the set and everything. And he starts to make hot chocolate for everybody, even though it's a whole crew that does that, right. He starts to bring everyone blankets, he starts to crack jokes, he starts to tell stories, and they realize that he's living that question, how do I make this moment even more magical, right? And I believe the life you live or the lessons you teach, but so the lesson here Is be very conscious of the questions you're asking yourself. And my, my challenge for you is what do you think your dominant question is in your life? Because you have one for sure. It might not just be one, it might be two or three of them. But there is a question you asked repeatedly. Like, I took a friend through this experiment, and we found out her dominant question is, how do I get people to like me? How do I get people like me? You don't know her age, you don't know what she does for a living? You don't know her? Her ethnicity, you don't know where she lives? You know what she looks like, but you know a lot about her life, her personality. If somebody is always asking how do I get people to like me? You could tell like her personality shifts depending on who she's with.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 6 JUNE 2020 She's always martyring herself. People are taking advantage of her, you know, all this stuff. You know, one question, what do you think your question is? What do you think your friends questions are? What do you think your family's questions are? When you determine when you find out and discover that dominant question, it will explain a lot of your life because that dominant question directs your focus and your focus determines reality. My challenge growing up as a kid, you know, all through school, I had these challenges in middle school and in elementary school, middle school, junior high, high school, all these challenges, my dominant question was, how do I become invisible? Because when you have the broken brain in class, you don't have the answer. You don't want to get called on in class, how do we sit down, come up with answers, I'll sit behind the tall kid in class, right? I was always shrinking. Later on, my question change, saying how do I fix this? And then my question became, how do I make this better? And I started asking, how do I make this better? How to make this better? And I started coming up with all these answers, how to make my focus better, how to make my memory better, how to study better, and so on. But going back to their original, my original hypothesis is this. My experience over the past three decades working on universities and work with students of all levels and stages and ages is that the best straight A students, the people that accomplish most, they're not working the hardest or the longest, they're working the smartest and they're doing certain things other people aren't doing and part of it is they're asking better questions.

I'll give you three questions to ask that will turn transform knowledge and turn the real power. And I realize you've been on these for a bunch, does this shake out your body? Your physiology affects your psychology and we'll talk about that in a second. But here's, here's the questions that I ask. Knowledge is not power by itself. In my book limitless, I talk about the seven lies to learning and genius. Seven lies, the lies that most of you believe that's been like, embedded in you through culture. And these are absolutely lies. And a lie for me stands for unlimited idea entertained, it's not true. But I could teach you the best method for remembering people's names. But if you're, if your mindset and your belief is I have a horrible memory, you're still going to be stuck in that box, right? Because your mind is like your brain is like a supercomputer and your self-talk is a program will run. So, if you tell yourself you're not good at remembering names, you will not remember them. The name of the next person you meet because you program your supercomputer not to. People come to me all the time. It's a gem smart enough, Jim, I have a horrible memory I say stop. If you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them. If you fight for limitations, you have to keep them. So, come up with the questions. But here are three quick, one of the lies that we tell ourselves is that knowledge is power. Is it really, at best knowledge is potential power?

It only becomes power when we what when we utilize it when we apply it. And so, here are three questions to take knowledge and turn into real power. And these are the questions I would answer on the right side of your page. Number one, how can I use this? I'm like obsessed with this because the truth is all the summit's and the trainings and the pod.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 7 JUNE 2020 Maybe some of you might listen to our podcasts we have a 15-minute podcast no advertising, 15 minutes; how to remember names how to study, how to learn languages, how to change your habits, what are the best brain foods? 200 episodes, over 3000 5-star reviews on iTunes number one education training podcasts.You can search my name on your podcast app, Spotify, and Pandora YouTube wherever. But we train on how to do these things. But we did an episode of how to Turn knowledge into power, three questions. First one, how can I use this? Second question, why must I use this? Because a lot of people know what to do, but they don't do what they know. And common sense is not often common practice. How can I use this? Why must I use this? Third question, when will I use this? The number one productivity performance tool that you have is your calendar. And most people they don't schedule how they're going to use this to be able to perform. And so here's the thing, that's one of the ways of being active taking notes, asking questions, and there are many other ways, but that's the A in FAST. The S in FAST to learn any subject or skill faster. Going back to A learning is not a spectator sport, right. So, you have to be active.

S and fast state. I don't mean the state that you live in. I mean, all learning is state dependent. All learning is state dependent? Meaning you know what the key to long term memory is? This is the key to long term memory for those of you who studied it. Did you know that not only is there a learning curve, but there's a forgetting curve. Within 48 hours, what do you think how much information you think you forget within 48 hours of learning something just once 80%, upwards of 80% is lost learning information just once, from a textbook from a lecture or anything. So that's why taking notes is rather important, but the key to long term memory, say and do this because I see you on video. Alright, so this is you the active part. So, you're not just consuming you're creating, put your hand out and say this, information combined with emotion becomes a memory. One more time, information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory. We forget information right all the time, like information combined with an emotion becomes unforgettable. Maya Angelou, when my favorite poet she said, people will forget what you say, they'll forget what you did, they'll always remember how you made them feel. There's three stages to human memory, encoding, storing, and retrieving. When you can encode with visualization, emotion feelings, and you have a place to store the information, it's easier to recall it. Alright, so how many of you have a song that could take you back years you could listen to the song and it could take you back years automatically. Because information combined with emotion becomes a long term memory. How many of you there's a fragrance or a food can take you back to when you're a child, right?

A fragrance or food because information by itself is forgettable. But when you tie an emotion or more your senses into it becomes unforgettable. So I'll show you how to do that. But all learning is state dependent. Meaning if you learn something in a bored state, what's boredom on a scale of zero to 10? What is it? Say it out loud, say it so I could hear you zero, right? Information tie to emotion becomes a long term memory.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 8 JUNE 2020 If your emotional state is zero, anything times zero is what? Zero. And then what? Yes. Why you forgot the periodic table? All right, because the emotional level, the state you learn something in is the state that it gets encoded in. All right. That's why all learning is state dependent. Now, who controls your state? Who controls how you feel? You do, right? I remember I got to and I'm going to drop a number of names here. I do a very purposely, because when you see their movies or you see them on television or on Instagram, and I'll remind you of the lessons, right, I got to introduce two friends together for dinner. They both want to introduce themselves, to meet each other. It was Richard Branson, and Stan Lee. Not Stanley, but Stan Lee. What did Stan Lee do? He created what? Avengers, X-men, Spider Man, all right. And we're in the car and I was like, Stan Lee, I just delayed Stan Lee. I was like, you created all these superheroes, who's your favorite? And he was like, Jim, it's Iron Man. And I was like, yeah, that's basic Jim, who's your favorite? And he had the big spider man tie on. And I was like Spider Man. And without a pause, he goes with great power comes great responsibility. And now I have the add three traumatic brain injuries. So, you know, I sometimes I reverse things, and I heard something different. And I was like, you're right, Stan, with great power comes great responsibility. And the opposite is also true. With great responsibility comes great power. When you take responsibility for something, you have great power to make things better. Right? And here's the secret for a happy fulfilling successful life. Be a thermostat, not a thermometer. Be a thermostat, not a thermometer. What does a thermometer do? Its only function. It just reacts to the environment, that's all thermometer does, right? But a thermostat’s different, a thermostat, it gauges the environment.

But what does it do? It sets a temperature. And what happens the environment, the environment raises, right? It goes to meet that temperature. And you have a goal, right? And all leadership is about taking the invisible, right and making it visible. And so, you have a goal, you have a vision here, be a thermostat, and then you and then the environment reacts to you. Going back to this responsibility, with great responsibility comes great power. The most important thing to be responsible for is how you feel, how you feel. So like right now, can you change the way you feel? And I know you've been on the screen for many hours, could you yes or no. Of course, because it's not anything other than yourself that controls that. Like, for example right now sit the way you'd be sitting, if you're really interested. If you're really focused right now sit the way you'd be sitting, if you're really focused and engaged and interested in what I was. Now, why do we even have to move? You? You know, your physiology affects your psychology. That if you ask different questions, like sometimes I could watch somebody present. And I go, and you know, I have a lot of audiences, and I'm waiting to go on stage, and they're putting everyone to sleep. And I won't get I still get bored. Because I could control my mind. I'll say something like, ask a new question. I'm like, wow, isn't it amazing how this speaker could put every single person asleep at the same time? How fascinating is that? How do they do that so well, right? And so, I could change my questions. Or I could change my physiology. I could sit up right.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 9 JUNE 2020 A lot of people when they're studying, they get tired or mental fatigue when they're studying their books and reading all the time, because their posture because they have a collapsed physiology, right, and they're collapsing their diaphragm. The lower one third of your lungs absorbs two thirds of the oxygen. And a lot of people are tired not because they have the food is because they're just not getting enough blood flow or oxygen in silence inside their brain. So, your physiology affects your psychology. So that's what I mean about state control how you feel, always bring that state first. Because if you go in and aboard state, it doesn't matter what contents coming at you, you're not going to be able to be active and remember it as well. So, as the state F is forget limitations, distractions, forget about you know about subject, you're emptying your cup. In them, they call it a beginner's mind, A is being active. Learning is not a spectator sport, S is control your state. Finally, the T and fast to learn any subject or skill faster, is teach.

Intention matters. If you like, I'm going to give you a couple of tips on how to read faster, and how to improve your memory. If you learn it with the intention, if you think about somebody, a friend or family member, or somebody that you wish was with learn it, also they could benefit from it. Could you learn things for two reasons, one for your own benefit, but then also how you could benefit others, right? So, think about that person. If you had to give a lecture or a presentation on zoom next week about what you learned, you would pay attention differently, wouldn't you? Would you take better notes if you had to perform this? Of course, if you had to write about our blog for it, you ask better questions, you take better notes, you would own that information. And so, learn with the intention of teaching somebody else. You know, in fact, as you're taking these notes, I'll encourage you to screenshot it posted on social media. If you tag this organization, right future dogs, tag Richard and his whole team, tag myself, actually repost my favorite, like in post in it, what you got out of it, like one little tip that helps you to be able to study better. For example, I'll repost an auction, gift out actually send a couple of copies of the book out to people. Just as a thank you just by just participating because that's being active. Alright. So, learn with the intention of teaching somebody else and you'll get to learn it twice. When you teach something, you get to learn that twice, well you could write that down. So those are four really quick tips. On how to be able to do this faster.

Now, let me get to a couple of tips on how to read faster. We have a program online that teaches students that how to read three times faster with better comprehension. Literally what takes you somebody an hour, teach them how to read in 20 minutes and actually absorb and retain more of it and understand not skimming or scanning. We train world leaders, CEOs of companies, top doctors, and you don't want your doctor just to get the gist of what she's reading, right? It's not skimming, it's not scanning, it's not skipping words. But here's the thing. We probably spend like most of the information you need to learn is coming through reading. Right? And here's the challenge if you're reading four hours a day, or even most people who work jobs or have to process information four or five hours a day, if you could just double your reading speed to save two hours a day. What's two hours a day over the course of a year. You're like Jim, I didn't realize there was math involved here. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 10 JUNE 2020 Let's say you just save one hour a day over the course of the year. Just one hour a day, how many hours is that? 365 hours. How many 40-hour work weeks is that? Nine, more than nine weeks of productivity you get back by saving one hour a day on something ubiquitous like reading and studying. And that's why learning how to read faster is so important. Now, there are a number of reasons why you can't do this effectively. Let me give you an example.

Let me give you five obstacles that keep you reading slowly. And then I'll give you a brain hack to overcome some of them. Five obstacles effective reading Now there's two parts of reading; reading speed and reading what? Say it out loud, comprehension, right? Makes no sense to have one without the other. There are five obstacles that get in the way. Number one, lack of education. Now, are you born with the ability to read? No, of course not. You were born and went to the waiting room start reading magazines, right? It was a skill and all skills can be learned and improve. How? Through training. But when's the last time you took a class called reading? How old were you? Not like a lid class? How old were you the last time you took a class called reading? Show me on your fingers. How old were you? Like, six, seven years old, maybe now has the difficulty and demand increase centers six or seven years old. Of course, but we're still reading at the same exact way. And that's first challenge. Second obstacle to effective reading. If you want the advantage, I'm talking about the ultimate advantage in your life is learning faster than everybody else. The second reason why people do not read faster with better comprehension is lack of focus, lack of focus. How many of you have ever read a page of a book and just forgot what you just read? And you go back and you reread it, and you still don't know what you just read? Focus. Here's the thing. Your brain is this incredible supercomputer. But when you read something, you feed this supercomputer, one word at a time.

Metaphorically, we're starving our mind. And if you don't give your brain the stimulus it needs it'll seek entertainment elsewhere in the form of what? Distraction. Let me say it in a different way. Reading slowly is like riding a bicycle really, really slow. If you wrote a bicycle really, really slow. What would happen? You would wobble and you would fall, right? You have no momentum. It's like driving. If somebody is driving in your neighborhood, and they're going just slow 20, 30 miles an hour, they're usually doing multiple things, right? They are singing, they're typing in conversation with somebody in the car. They might be texting even though they know they shouldn't. They could be like drinking some, whatever they'd be doing fine. Six different things when you're going slow. But let's say you're racing cars 180 miles an hour, right down, down down a raceway. Maybe you're taking hairpin turns, do you have more or less focus? A little bit or a lot? A lot better focus, right? You're not thinking about the like anything else. You're not distracted. You're not trying to text, you're not trying to drink, you're not trying to think about anything else. You're completely focused on two things, the act of driving and what's in front of you. Reading is the same way.

We have a program called Quick student, Quickstudent.com, and we train all students to read three times faster guarantee, right in 21 days. Here's the thing. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 11 JUNE 2020 We have students in 195 countries online. 195 countries, so we have a lot of data. And we find is it's a lie that if I asked you, if I asked you to read faster, what do you think will happen your comprehension? You think it'll go down? In actuality, the faster readers have better comprehension. Why? Because they have better focus. Because those are going faster, they have better focus. They're not thinking about anything else or mind thoughts distracting them. And because they have better focus, they have better comprehension. That makes sense. So that's the second obstacles, lack of focus, third obstacle to effective reading, sub vocalization, subvocalization. How many of you by show of hands, when you're reading something, you hear that inner voice inside your head reading along with you? How many people by show hands, you can hear that inner voice inside your head? Hopefully, it's your own voice. It's not like somebody else's voice inside there. The reason why it's a challenge, think about this. If you have to say the words out loud or inside your mind in order to understand them. You can only read as fast as you could speak. To say it another way. That means your reading speed is limited to your talking speed, but not your thinking speed.

Many people listen to our podcast at or audio, you know, maybe people get limitless on audiobook, audible, right? Or they're listening to my podcast, they'll listen to how many of you listen to things at 1. 5 or 2x? Listen to things like that you can understand what they mean, right? But you can't speak that fast. Now, here's the obvious question. Do you need to pronounce the words out loud or inside your head in order to understand what those words mean? Do you have to pronounce the words New York City computer in order to understand what those things are? Absolutely not. Just like when you see a stop sign, you don't say to yourself, stop. But do you understand what that word means? Of course, 95% of the words you come across in your schooling, in your life are what they call sight words, words, you know by sight. You don't have to pronounce them using sound. Any more than you pronounce puncture marks, you don't read and say period, exclamation mark, question marks semi colon. Those are symbols, right? But words are symbols. And so, you don't have to pronounce these words in order to understand them. Now you do have to pronounce words you haven't seen before. Especially, you know the technical words. For those of you in technology, those of you in science, those of you going into medicine, you have to pronounce those words, but and they're the because of this, that it takes a lot more time to pronounce those words than just to know them by sight. All right, so reducing subvocalization will help you read a lot faster with better comprehension.

And then finally, a couple more obstacles to effective reading. fourth one is regression, regression. And this is the act of back skipping How many of you found yourself reading and find yourself rereading whole lines or rereading words? They find upwards of 25, 30% of our time, unconsciously, is being spent rereading words. Just out of bad habit of how we learned when we were a child, right? And they use all this technology that will shine a light in somebody, the test subjects eyes as they're reading a screen, they can see their eyes. Actually, they don't have the great readers have a certain rhythm, right? They go through and they have them called fixations. A fixation and science is when your eyes stop, it's an eye stop. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 12 JUNE 2020 And so it's interesting because when you're reading, you're going and you're making, let's say, There's 10 words per line, you're making 10 eye stops or 10 fixations, maybe even more if you're going back and rereading words by accident., these days as technology, same they use for marketing, or they'll shine a light in someone's eyes see what on the advertisement where their line of sight is. So, they know where the product placement is, right? But same thing when they're reading they can see them back skipping and use a lot of energy and it doesn't help your comprehension any more than let's say we're watching a movie finally of something you really wanted to watch together and somebody is in the corner and they are just rewinding every 10 seconds. Like would you what would How would you feel about that person? You'd want to kill them, right? And is it helping you to rewind every 10, 30 seconds, not at all, it actually interrupts it and it takes more time. And that's what you're doing when you're reading. Right. And so, a fixation, let's say, normal readers was fixed a 10 times across the page at every single word, a child first learning to read, will actually fixate almost at every single letter because they, they have to pronounce it, right. And so, they might make multiple fixations, just going through one word. And so, they might have to do it 30 times across the page.

Now, just as a child, it's not, it's not efficient to take all that time to look at individual letters. As a train student, you shouldn't look at individual words, you should be looking at groups of words. So, if you're seeing three words at a time, it would only take you maybe three fixations to get through a line as opposed to 10 and like somebody's driving through traffic. And they have to stop 10 times as opposed to somebody's typing three times, that other person's much more efficient. That makes sense, right? So that's regression. And finally, the last one I would give you is obstacle to effective reading is belief, belief. Because when I talk about the seven lies to learning, when I show you how to unlimit, those seven lies, all of a sudden you believe everything is possible, that you're capable of it and that you deserve it. That's my goal, because everything comes from your mind, right? I could teach you the speed-reading technique. But if your mind says I'm not smart enough to do this, you're still stuck at that reading speed. Right? So, the last thing I would say is limiting belief. You have to get rid of the BS. What a BS? Stands for belief systems are the belief systems that we have accumulated over time that says we're not x, whatever x is, right? And that's why I put this put those systems into the book. Now here's the thing. Let's do this quick experiment. All right, I'm going to ask you to do something credit crazy. I'm going to ask you to stand up. Stand up real quick. Stand cameras stand up.

I’m going to experiment with this. What I want you to do is, shake out your body and do what I do. First of all one of the keys. All right, let's shake out your body. Point forward with your right hand, point forward with your right hand. And without moving your feet without moving your feet turn clockwise. And if you're not analog that's to your right, and go as far as you go without moving your feet and notice where you're pointing. Notice the exact place you're pointing atthe exact place, go as far as you could go without moving your feet. Notice the exact place you're pointing.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 13 JUNE 2020 I’m going to experiment with this. What I want you to do is, shake out your body and do what I do. First of all one of the keys. All right, let's shake out your body. Point forward with your right hand, point forward with your right hand. And without moving your feet without moving your feet turn clockwise. And if you're not analog that's to your right, and go as far as you go without moving your feet and notice where you're pointing. Notice the exact place you're pointing atthe exact place, go as far as you could go without moving your feet. Notice the exact place you're pointing.

Now come back to the center. Put your arms by your side, not in your pockets, but by your sides. Once you take a deep breath, exhale, and just close your eyes if it's safe to do so, and I'm going to walk you through a quick visualization exercise that I do with athletes.

Now, why don't you just breathe normally, and with your arms by your side with your eyes closed, I want you to imagine, imagine you're raising your arm again. And you're turning to your right. But this time, imagine you're going twice as far. See and feel yourself going twice as far as you did the first time. Imagine it. And if you can't imagine it, imagine you can imagine it, you're going twice as far. And then again, with a smile on your face. Imagine you're going three times around like you're getting a great stretch, it feels good. See and feel yourself with your eyes closed, going three times around. And then one more time with a smile, a smile on your face. What does this have to do with speed reading, see and feel yourself going four times around like you're made out of rubber. Alright, they're going four times around 1, 2, 3, 4 getting the best stretch of your life. All right, open your eyes, point forward now with your right hand. It turns here right? As far as you can now go.

Now have a seat and raise your hand if you went further the second time, sit down and raise your hand if you have further the second time. Look around. Raise your hand if you have for the second time. Now my question for you is this, now I could watch you some of you went to like, like 25, 50%. Further. My question for you is the obvious question. Were you physically capable of turning that far the first time? Like, nobody took a yoga class and my eyes were closed, right? You're physically capable of it? Where was the limitation if there was one in your mind, right? And you could say like, Well, Jim, I didn't have a belief on how far I could turn.

The truth is, how many beliefs do we have? Countless beliefs. And write this down on your notes. All behavior is belief driven. All behaviors, belief driven. Whatever wrote this book, I show a model in the book I take you through the hero's journey. Same as Harry Potter, same as Lord of the Rings same as the matrix, the Wizard of Oz, I take you through Joseph Campbell's journey, where you become the superhero and I become like your Yoda taking you through this adventure. In it, I share with you a framework called the limitless model, a limitless model, a three-part framework Venn diagram, which is really the framework for accelerated learning. It is the key not only to learn any subject or skill faster, but really for unlocking human potential.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 14 JUNE 2020 Because when I talk about limitless and becoming limitless, limitless is not about being perfect. It's about progressing and advancing beyond what you believe is currently possible. It's about advancing and progressing beyond what you believe is possible. So, there's three parts to it. The last part are the methods and the book is like a textbook on how to learn anything faster. For languages, formulas, all the secrets, right? But here's the thing. You have to take care of the other two Ms first. The first M is your mindset. Your mindset is your assumptions and attitudes about education, about the world about your own potential, who would fall in this category is what I believe is possible, what I believe I'm capable of, what I believe I deserve. But you can have a limitless mindset, I show you how to get rid of those negative thoughts that are holding you back. And you can have the methods but the second M if you don't have the second M is motivation. And in the book, I talked about the formula, the three-part formula for sustainable motivation. How many of you sometimes procrastinate?

Anyone procrastinate put things off? I did. I live between New York and Los Angeles. And in LA I have I have like real life. So, because I don't have much of a childhood, right? I was bullied. I you know, I was always like shrinking down. I had this broker and I couldn't wasn't doing you know, I just struggled all the time. You know, I'd work really really hard and everything else like that. So, I have like a life size Iron Man. You can see this on this room, but I have a life size Hulk, 10- foot Hulk in my backyard, right? And I did this if you search Jim quick procrastination on YouTube, you can watch me in front of the hall. I talked about five keys to smashing procrastination. But here's the thing if you procrastinate, there's a reason. And there's a formula. There's a formula for sustained motivation now, where you get excited, and you say, Okay, I was part of this Congress, I learned all these things. Tomorrow, I'm going to do this and the next day, nothing happens, right? But there's a reason and you'll see it in the book or my podcast, the formula is is the formula. I've used these with the top athletes, the top actors, the top medical doctors for sustain motivation. When you want to reverse engineer the people who never falter in their motivation. They have all three of these in place, right? But the last S3 I'll go to because I don't have time to go through everything. S3 are small simple steps, small simple steps. Meaning that maybe you want to get yourself to exercise. We know where your body moves, your brain moves, all the way with the studies have been inclusive, that when your body moves, you create brain derived neurotrophic factors, BDNF, which is like fertilizer for your brain, for neuroplasticity, and so on. Now, if you're not exercising, let's say an hour a day or whatever, maybe that's too big. Because what keeps you from being motivated? If something is too intimidating to get that degree to be able to have that job? Maybe it's too big, and a confused mind doesn't do anything. So how do you break it down to small simple step? Simple example like exercise, maybe it's not you working out for an hour. Maybe it's putting on your running shoes, maybe studying for 45 minutes.

By the way, the ideal time to study I talked about in the book the research 25 to 30 minutes, and then you break. The reason why is because after about 20, they call it the Pomodoro Technique.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 15 JUNE 2020 And after 25 or 30 minutes, there's a big dip in your concentration. The other reason I'll give you this tip, is there's something in memory psychology called primacy and recency.

Some of you know about this. primacy says, You remember something at the beginning, you go to a party, you meet 30 strangers, you're probably going to remember the first people you met at the party. I give you a list of 30 random words, right? Like, let's say you gave me 100 words to memorize. And then I test you to memorize 20 you'll probably remember the first few words. And what else the last few words that's recency. Primacy prime first, you remember the first things recency more recent at the end? You remember things at the end? So at that party, remember the first people and the last people you met? Right? List of words and that's our examples, names and words, right? How's that really to study how many of you by show of hands cram, you don't study for a while, and then you just, you're at it for hours. The reason why it's counterproductive, is first of all, knowing the Pomodoro Technique, there's a big dip in concentration. But the other reason is, if you study straight for five hours, that means you remember stuff in the beginning stuff at the end. But there's a big dip in the middle. Does that make sense? You take a five-minute break every 30 minutes or an hour, right? Even what you're doing at the Congress, what are you creating more beginnings and more ends so that you pick up all that information, you create more primacy, more recency? So, this book is full of those strategies that people just do not share.

We're not school taught us what to learn, what to focus on, what to think, what to remember, but there are no classes on how to learn, how to think, how to focus, how to remember, I always thought it should have been the fourth hour in school. They teach you reading, writing, arithmetic. Obviously, spelling wasn't one of those hours. But remembering, retention, recall, Socrates said learning is remembering, right? And having that memory, I think two of the most costly words in your life. I forgot, I forgot to do it, I forgot to bring it, I forgot that meeting, I forgot I wasn't going to say, I forgot that answer, I forgot every other conversation, I forgot that person's name, every single time you say it, you lose credibility, you could opportunity, you could lose respect, you could lose all time all these things. Right? So, going back to the fifth obstacle to effective reading belief, some of you went 25, 50%. Further, what if you could go 25, 50% further, you know, work harder for it. But what if you could go 25, 50% further in your grades, right in less time, because that's really the promise of it. It's a focal point, which I'll talk about in a moment. Now, these are five, just five of the obstacles I talked about in the book. Now in the book, I talked about many different techniques to read faster, I'm going to give you one of them. Right and that's using a visual Pacer. If you want to increase your reading speed 25 to 50%, immediately use a visual Pacer. What does that mean?

Typically, people enjoy all traditional speed-reading methodology, you would use your finger and go right down the page, or you do s forms they call it or z forms. The problem is you miss big gaps of information. And that's why they only get the gist with a reading.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 16 JUNE 2020 I'm saying that if you use your finger to underline the words, you don't touch a screen, you don't touch the book just right above it, and your eyes follow. You will read 25 to 50% faster and have better focus. Now you don't have to believe everything I'm saying, test it for yourself. Pick up a book, not now. But pick up a book. Time yourself to read 60 seconds, count the number of lines you just read. Put a little mark in the margin and then pick up where you left off just underlining the words, right do nothing else different. You're just underlining the words and following your finger as you're reading. As you're reading, and then do it for 60 seconds, count the number of lines you just read in 60 seconds, that number will be at 25, 50% lift across the board. Right now people might think 50%, not much. That's like a gaining 20 minutes on every hour. How many of you would like to have that advantage? Right? Because everything has to go back to your time. The reason why I'm just I'm speaking so fast, and I'm having to write a lot of notes. How many of you have you're writing a lot of notes, just you write a lot of things down. The reason why I'm doing that is because your time and your attention is what your life is made out of. My promise at the beginning of this is I'm going to give you so much practical stuff, or ways of looking at your learning and your studying that you'll never look at the same way that this alone was worth your time. All right, so here's the thing using a visual Pacer. Now, here's why it works. It works because first of all, children do it. And I get to work with children all around the world. All children will use their finger to help them focus while they read until they're taught. Not too. All right. Second of all you do it. You're like, Jim, I don't and I'm not talking about just use your finger. You could use a pen, a highlighter, a mouse on a computer or visual Pacer. Something to grab your attention, right? You actually do it. You're like, Jim, I don't use my finger when I read. But when you count the number of lines you just read in 60 seconds, what will all of you do?

You know it right? Use your finger, you go 1, 2, 3. Because inherently, you know, the third reason your eyes are attracted the motion. Right? It's a hunter gatherer that's your survival. Let's say you're in a bush and you're hunting lunch, right a rabbit or carrot, whatever your diet is. If a bush next to you moves, you have to look at what moves. Because number one, it could be lunch, or number two, you could be lunch, you are trained and your nervous system to focus on what moves. So, when you're underlining the words in a book. Your attention is being pulled through the book as opposed to your attention being pulled apart. A third, fourth reason why use your finger while you're read is because it's how your neurology is set up your nervous system, meaning it's not just your brain, it's your senses. Have you ever tasted, by show of hands? How many of you love fresh fruit? Not sprayed and waxed, sitting in a grocery store, but like farmers market right off the vine? Have you ever tasted a great tasting peach before? Great tasting peach. In actuality, you're not tasting the peach. What are you doing? You're smelling the peach. But your sense of smell and sense of taste are so closely linked, that your mind can't tell the difference. Unless you're sick and you can't smell something out of your nose. What is, if it's congested, or just food tastes like?

Bland, right? Just as your sense of smell and taste are so closely linked, so is your sense of sight and your sense of touch. That if you go to a toddler with keys and say look at my keys, look at my keys, what's the toddler going to do? OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 17 JUNE 2020 Reach out and grab those keys. Senses sight and touch are closely linked. When people use their finger while they read those tell me all the time they feel more in touch with their reading. Is that interesting? And if somebody loses their sense of sight, how do they read? Through Braille, right, their sense of touch. So, I encourage you how many of you by show hands are willing to test this and use your finger while you read? Therefore, I have a 25, 50% advantage over what you were you before, before. So that's a couple of tips on speed because also a lot of that you're getting back because you're not regressing, and rereading words and your focus is better. Going back to those obstacles.

Now, let me talk to you really quickly. One third of your memory and I teach this the people that endorsed this book is like Rudy, Dr. Rudy Tansy, the head researcher at Harvard University for Alzheimer's. You know, the Founding Director, Dr. Jeffrey Cummings of the Cleveland Clinic center for brain health. I mean, the foreword is written by Dr. Mark Hyman, who's the head of strategy and innovation at the Cleveland Clinic. You know, so this is a highly reference book, but I share with you how to use the science of it in a relatable way to be able to apply it towards other things. And so, what I'm teaching at the Cleveland Clinic, they're doctors, they're their patients, their caregivers, we know that about one third of memory is predetermined by genetics and biology, two thirds is in your control.

So, there are 10 things you can control that's going to help you so I'm going to give you these 10 things really fast. And I want you to write these down. And I'll give you a link at the end for a video where I actually show you how to memorize these 10 things too. All right, because I want you to be able to memorize fast, and I wish you and I will share the knowledge how with you. So, I'm going to give you the 10 keys, what I want you to write down on a scale of zero to 10. How much energy and effort are you putting into these things? All right, because you can learn best speed-reading technique or memory technique or something that you learn here. But if you're off on these 10 things, everything else is going to be off. I'm going to go through a really rapid fire because I'm coming up to time.

Number one, a good brain diet. Good brain diet. There are certain foods that are neuroprotective a whole area of science called neuro nutrition. And so, avocados, blueberries, I call them brain berries, broccoli, olive oil. If you eat eggs, it's great for your brain but the Coleen is so good brain diet you are what you eat, which we matter, especially for your brain matter. Number two, killing ants. Killing ants are actually clinically proven to be good for your brain and stands for automatic negative thoughts. And I got that term from Dr. Daniel Amen. Who also endorsed the book. He's done more SPECT scans than anyone else in the country. 170, 000. All right, killing ants reducing negative thought. Number three, exercise. We talked about this as your body moves your brain grooves, right? If you're listening to our audio book or our podcast, you're on an elliptical or you're taking a light jog, you're actually going to learn it better. Right? And there's all science based on that. Number four brain nutrients. If you're not getting it from your food, go to your health practitioner and nutritionist.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT NATIONAL ACADEMY OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS © 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 18 JUNE 2020 You know, you could do a test and if you're deficient in certain brain supplement like vitamin B, vitamin E is very neuroprotective, omega threes, you want to be your brain is mostly fat. And so that's number four. Five positive peer group, who you spend time with is who you become. It's not just your neurological networks, it's your social networks. All right. Number six, clean environment. Your brain loves clean environment. You know, when you clean off your laptop, you clean out your you have clarity of thought, your external worlds reduction of the internal world.

Number seven, sleep. And I wish I could go into this right now. Because I do a whole chapter in the book, how to optimize your sleep because if you have any long-term memory issues, check your sleep. That's where you consolidate short to long term memory. That's where you clean out plaque, beta amyloid plaque that could lead to brain aging challenges I lost. We're donating 100% of the proceeds here to build schools for children everywhere from Guatemala to Kenya who have access to education, health care, clean water, and we're donating it to Alzheimer's research in memory of my grandmother who passed away Alzheimer's. But going back to sleep is so important for your memory. Eight, brain protection wears a helmet alright because I had three accidents. You know your brain is very resilient, is very fragile. Nine new learnings. New learnings when you give your brain novelty the key to neuroplasticity is novelty and nutrition. Always be learning which we are doing, obviously, finally, stress management, right? And how good are you zero to 10 and managing your stress because chronic stress shrinks your brain, it puts you in fight or flight or freeze. That's not a great place we need to study if you need to read. So those are 10 hopefully helpful keys. I'm going to end with this.

Years ago, I got a call from the chairman of 20th century studios, and I work with the CEO and I worked with their board and I helped did a day training teaching them speed reading memory, everything. They said the chairman the CEO was like this is the best training we've ever done. Thank you so much. He gives me a tour of the fox lot and I never been on a lot before. I saw this movie poster of Wolverine, and it was. What movie wasn't coming out for a few months? And I was like, I can't wait for that movie to come out. And he was like, oh, Jim, I didn’t know you like superheroes and he picks up his phone and he any and five minutes later I'm in the Fox Theater with 3d glasses watching Hugh Jackman fight all these super ninjas, right? He comes to get to me and he says Jim, how was the movie I was like, you don't know this but growing up I couldn't read are taught myself how to read by reading comic books. And my favorite comic books growing up were Wolverine and the X-men, not because they were the strongest is they were mutants and they didn't fit in. I felt like I didn't fit in. But the caveat to the story was I grew up in outside in New York City in Westchester, New York. My parents immigrated here my mom, we live in the back of a laundromat that she worked at, we didn't speak the language, all this stuff. But when I was going through these challenges the X-men school do you know where the X-men school is in Westchester, New York, and when I found that out when I was nine years old, I swear to you, every weekend I would ride my bicycle around my neighborhood trying to find that school.

And I tell I'm telling this the chairman of 20th Century Fox, and she Jim was like, I didn't know you like superheroes. Do you want to go to Comic Con? And I'm like, Well, you know what Comic Con is? And I was like, I was like, when's Comic Con? It's like today, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And I'm like, Oh, well, then I'm nine years old, but I could become 99 years old. I call him I get to San Diego from LA. On Fridays, with traffic and all, tickets, you know, waiting and I'll make you aware of all these meetings. He's like, Jim, you want to go, I'm going tomorrow? And I'm like, Oh, yeah, you're going I want to go with you. So, he picks me up Saturday morning at my hotel, and we get on his plane. And I swear to you, when I get on the plane, I'm the last one on, the entire cast of X-men is on the plane. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, like, you know, like, just Eric, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender. I'm sitting behind I'm sitting between Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry going to Comic Con. Anyway, we spent the day there we come back. He's like, how's your day? I was like, this is the best day ever. Thank you so much. Because like I have something else for you. I was like, I don't want anything else. What can I do for you? He was like, they really liked you. Like, how would you like to go on set? We have another 30 days of filming X-men Days of Future Past. How many of you saw this movie X-men movies? And I was like when, I was like, I would love to I've never been there. And we're like, we're filming in Montreal. They're flying out tomorrow. I was like, wow, what can I do for you? Just do what you did for us. Teach them how-to speed-read scripts, memorize lines, be focused on set. I was like, I could totally do that. The next morning, I get on the plane. And the entire cast is on there. And I'm brain training on the X-jet. They call we land in Montreal. And here's the moral story. The first shot that they filmed the next day took place were in the x men school.

Right? And I got to as it in my mind as a child see my superheroes come to life in the school I've always been looking for. I spent a week there. I come home and there's a package waiting for me and maybe they could show this slide please. I don't know if they're showing the slide. There's a slide as a frame photograph of me and the entire cast of X-men. You see Hugh Jackman's arm around me behind me is Jennifer Lawrence James McAvoy. Evan, you're like just everyone, right? And that even better than that was a note. And the note in there, said, Jim, from the Chairman, thank you so much for sharing your superpowers with all of us. I know you've been looking for your superhero school ever since you were a child. Here's your class photograph. And you could go to the last slide. My message for you is this, never give up on your dreams, because the access and the idea that I planted in my mind was a child to find that superhero school. I wasn't able to find it in real life. So, I built it, and form of a podcast and form of our online trainings and everything. It's an online academy for superheroes who want to level up their learning and level up their life.

So, if you want to stay in touch you see all the information that was there. Our book is available as Limitlessbook.com I would love it if you if you happen to share anything here just tag me in it. Jim quick, I'll repost on my favorites and I'll actually gift out the book to a few people.

Final words are your 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 like begins, great things begin on the inside and you have greatness inside of you. You have genius superpowers inside of you. And this next few days is all about letting it out.
