Summary

We're in lockdown. And we don't know how long it'll last. And we don't know what will come next. Mini lockdowns? Personal lockdowns? More social distancing? We don't know. So I wanted to put together a framework for how I should act during this lockdown... So I ask Jim Kwik, a brain coach with praise from Will Smith, Alex Rodriguez, Stan Lee, Quincy Jones, Maria Shriver and so many more. He also has a new book coming out soon that outlines these lessons. And more called, "Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life" I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

A lot of people ask me what podcast I listen to and the reality is I listen to very, very few.

0:06.1

There's only a handful of like great podcasts out there. One of them though, and one of my favorite

0:11.7

podcasts ever is the Jordan Harbourger show. I've got Jordan with me. Jordan, how's it going?

0:16.6

Hey, thanks for having me on, man. Jordan, I recently listened to your podcast,

0:20.4

how to ask for advice. Brilliant podcasts. I had a bunch of friends listen to it. Why don't you

0:26.5

summarize that one for us? Well, in this day and age of epidemics, I would say that asking for

0:31.6

advice in a really terrible way is also kind of a, well, maybe less harmful epidemic, but long term,

0:38.4

it does a lot of damage because I always get folks that are saying things like, hey, can we meet up?

0:42.8

I want you to mentor me. Right. It's like they're not asking you for help. They're kind of giving you

0:46.7

a homework assignment for them. Right. Like, oh, okay. So you want me to sit down with you because you

0:53.2

don't have any specific questions now and just outline some sort of curriculum for you to be successful

0:59.2

in this project that you're doing or in this career that you're doing because you haven't even

1:03.0

bothered to figure out what it is that you're getting stuck on. You don't even have enough education

1:08.2

to get to the actual question. So it's just my, it's just my job now to make sure you're successful.

1:14.2

I'm not signing up for that. And I'm sure it's heck not going to take a meeting in the middle of my

1:18.1

workday to then sign up for that. So I love how in this podcast, you basically recommend ways for

1:24.2

people to give advice and it was unique and counterintuitive in some ways. I highly encourage people

1:30.6

to listen to not only that episode, but you always have such a unique twist on all of your topics,

1:36.0

all your guests are great. And again, I highly recommend the Jordan Harvanger show. Thanks James.

1:42.6

This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host. This is the James

1:49.6

Altiger show. Today on the James Altiger show, if I was going to put together a framework for how I

should act during this lockdown, we don't know how long the lockdown's in the last. Like I think
