Our conversation is packed with useful information, techniques and approaches to learning things quickly and remembering more. 

What makes this one of my most favorite episodes is our conversation about life. Jonathan tells his story about how he first started super-learning and personal growth.

We talk about what are the best things to learn when you become an efficient learner. Think about it, what would you learn if you could learn anything really fast, with incredible recall? 

As a life and performance coach, I'm especially interested in how we can get better, faster.
