Welcome to Impact Theory.

Everybody, welcome to Impact Theory.

You were here, my friends, because you believe that human potential is nearly limitless, but you know that having potential is not the same as actually doing something with it.

So our goal with this show and company is to introduce you to the people and ideas that are going to help you actually execute on your dreams.

Alright, today's guest is a globally recognized leader in memory improvement, brain performance and accelerated learning, but no one would have predicted that when he was a kid.

A serious childhood accident left him with a traumatic brain injury and a significant learning disability.

But instead of simply accepting defeat, he's set about making up for a short coming through an obscene amount of hard work.

He began sneaking comic books after bedtime to practice reading and something about the collision of the words, images and the superhero mindset spoke to him and for the first time he began to make progress.

But despite this, he continued to struggle, having to work two or three times as hard as everyone else to achieve lesser results.

After exhaustion caused him to fall down a flight of stairs and sustain yet another brain injury, he realized something had to change.

If he was going to truly overcome his learning disability, he was going to have to dramatically improve his efficiency at learning itself.

This began an obsession with the brain and the how of learning.

An obsession he would ultimately turn into quick learning, a revolutionary accelerated learning system that now has a bevy of celebrity clients and students in over 150 countries.

His hyper-effective techniques have been sought out by the likes of Virgin, Nike, Zappos, SpaceX, Harvard and Singularity University.

And he has directly trained or shared the stage with such luminary global leaders as Elon Musk, Sir Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama.

His teachings have been featured in prestigious worldwide media, including the New York Times bestseller Use Your Brain to Change Your Age.

Please help me in welcoming the man bestselling author Stephen Kotler calls a superhero whose superpower is learning itself, the host of the phenomenal podcast Quick Brain, Jim Quick.

Welcome, man. Good to be here. It's good to have you here. This is our second time doing this bad boy.

I have to say you're probably of all the people that I've interviewed. You're probably the person I've gotten the closest with off camera.

It's a lot of fun to bring you back and talk about different things.
