0:00.0	What's up, Yap, Bam? If you've ever told yourself you're bad at remembering names, staying focused, or learning new things, this Yap Classic is about to change the way you think about your brain.
0:20.8	Because the truth
0:21.5	is, your brain isn't broken. It's just been trained that way. Today, I'm revisiting my conversation
0:26.5	with Jim Quick. This was my first conversation with Jim. I actually interviewed him for the second time.
0:31.6	If you guys want to hear that episode, go check out Monday's episode. And Jim Quick, if you don't know him,
0:36.3	he's widely known as the world's
0:38.1	number one brain coach. And after overcoming a childhood traumatic brain injury, Jim turned
0:43.8	his biggest struggle into a mission to help millions learn faster, think sharper, and
0:48.2	unlock their full mental potential. Now, Jim is the real deal. And in this episode, we dove deep on his limitless framework.
0:55.5	We covered practical memory hacks, ways to boost mental energy and strategies to beat

1:29.2	you were nine, one of your teachers came to your defense while others were teasing you and said,
1:34.2	that's the boy with the broken brain, leave him alone. And that was a defining moment for you
1:39.0	in that your brain was broken. It actually became your limit until the age of 18. Today, you're known for your
1:45.6	incredible brain and your ability to do this seemingly impossible, like memorizing everyone's
1:51.0	name in a room filled with hundreds of people. So let's begin here. Talk to us about those early
1:56.0	years when you were the boy with a broken brain and tell us about this boy you were before you
