“What's the perfect mount seven, eight, nine hours? It's absolutely not the quantity, it's the quality of your deep sleep and your Your deep sleep, you can imagine, is where you're recovering your body. Your REM sleep is where you're restoring your mind. So seven is sleep, zero to ten, you know, how much focus energy attention are you putting towards it?”

“Yeah, number seven is sleep. So very concerning with sleep and brain performance. We know when you don't sleep, how's your thinking the next day? That's where you consolidate short to long-term memory is during sleep. When you sleep, the sewage system in your brain kicks in because energy to do so also as well. Your brain doesn't, it's not doesn't stop at night. If anything, sometimes in ways more active. It's consolidating short to long-term memory. It's cleaning out beta amyloid plaque that can lead to brain aging challenges. Often a lot of the studies show that with a lot of disease, there's a kind of a sleep deficiency component also as well. Sometimes I'll wear a device to monitor it because it's not that people ask the quantity of sleep.”

“I don't think we know, you know, all I know is that the brain hasn't changed a lot in the past hundred thousand years, but technology certainly has. And, you know, and we talk about, you know, these videos that we make about morning routine and evening routines and millions of views, just simple things. Like, don't touch your phone the first 30 minutes of the day or the last 30 minutes of the day. Something so simple.”

“My deep breathing, or some people do fire breathing, alpha breathing, wimhop breathing, first thing in the morning clear the cobwebs of the night, and then some water. Drink some water or take your cold shower. You get to integrate it however your morning routine is. And then fire is the sunlight for me. You know, first thing in the morning. But I just find that any of the biohacking stuff and people follow me on Instagram. You know, I have my toys and everything else. They're just to mimic nature, you know, a lot of the times, you know, the red lights and the cold plunges and all that stuff.”

“Yeah, you've had guests talking about the power of sunlight first thing in the morning to reset their circadian rhythm to help them sleep. You know, for me in the morning, I try to get the elements in my life. So I think about thousands of years ago, they thought the four elements made up of made everything up that you see. So it's like, you know, in Babylonian times, in Greek times, you know, the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth. And so, like, I don't know, I take this approach in the morning, but you don't have to biohack everything. You can do it for free. Go out there outside and get some earth. Get your feet on the ground, right? Really simple to do. To feel more grounded and more connected. And there's also, I think, an energetic, and people talk about pulse electromagnetic fields and everything. But I don't know. I feel more grounded when I just walk in the grass. Simple thing people could do. And then I'm thinking about air. I could do my...”

“There's so much research talking about the power of movement and the brain. When you move, by the way, your studies show that when you listen to your podcast, when people are listening to this podcast and they happen to be doing something rhythmic, going for a nice walk with the dogs or on an elliptical, they'll actually understand the information and retain it better. When your body moves, your brain grooves. Just remember that. When your body moves, your brain grooves. When you move your body, you create brain-derived neurotropic factors, BDNF, which is like fertilizer for the brain. It's like fertilizer promoting neuroplasticity. Number four, brain nutrients. And this is, I always prefer people get it from whole, you know, their own foods. But, you know, you could get so much data nowadays you could do a nutrient profile because if you're lacking if your vitamin D levels are low, you're not going to perform. Your brain's not going to perform at its best.”

“In general, some of my favorite brain foods, avocados, the monoensiturated fat is good for the brain, blueberries, I like to call them brainberries, very neuroprotective, broccoli, good for your brain, olive oil, good for the brain. If your diet allows, Eggs, the choline in eggs is good for your cognitive health. Green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach. And now again, some people are allergic to kale, so that won't be for you. Another one, I would say wild sardines or like wild wild salmon or sardines. Like your brain is mostly fat, so those fish oils. Turmeric is a great brain food, meaning it helps to lower inflammation. You can use that while you're cooking. Walnuts, everything.”

“I'm going to give everybody right now the 10 keys, as you know, in the book, but I'm going to show you how to memorize them. But what I liked it to do, whether or not people memorize them or not, and I find that people will be able to do it pretty easily and effortlessly, is at least rate yourself 0 to 10. How much energy and effort and attention are you putting towards this area? Because everyone wants to know the one thing they could do for an incredible memory. There's just not. There's not a magic pill, but there is a process, right? So we'll go through them fast. Number one, good brain diet. So everyone on a scale of zero to ten, ten being the best, how much energy attention time are you putting towards a good brain diet? So there's certain foods that are very neuroprotective. And I would also say I'm not a doctor or nutritionist. Everyone's bioindividual, so do allergy testing, do functional medicine testing in terms of microbiome test, nutrient profile, food sensitivity. So everyone's a little different.”

“But certainly we could apply this towards buckets too. All right. So we're blessed that the book was heavily endorsed by the Cleveland Clinic Center for Brain Health, the founding director there, one of the top Alzheimer's research out of Harbor, Dr. Rudy Tanzi. And when I speak at these organizations, we know that about one-third of your brain performance, your memory is predetermined by genetics. Two-thirds is in your control. They say the metaphor is that, for example, Alzheimer's, and this is like we donated a lot of the proceeds to Alzheimer's research for our book, is in memory of my grandmother. They say that your genetics will load the gun, but your lifestyle will fire it, right? Kind of makes sense. And it's not like all metaphors are not absolute, they're not absolutes, but there's an idea to connect something you don't know to something you know. So going to this two-thirds.”

“Where won't help you with that? Okay, so here we go. So the eye is imagined. We tend to remember what we see. There's a proverb that says what you hear, you forget, what you see, you remember, what you do, you understand, what you hear, you forget. You heard the name? You forgot it. What you see, you remember, you saw the face, you remember the face. So what you could see, and we think in pictures, like when you got on an airplane, it doesn't say, no longer does it say no smoking, fasten your seatbelts. There's just pictures. And we think in pictures. Pictures worth a thousand words. So you want to imagine those pictures. And the E and Pi is Entwine is where you're connecting. Entwine means to associate or to connect. And what do you are connecting? The P in the I, the place in the image. So let me give you an example. Fine.”

“Towards your visual cortex and takes a more real estate, so we tend to remember things we see better than what we hear. So you see the face and you go to someone. I remember Facebook. I forgot your name. That's me every day of my life. Never go to somebody to say the opposite. You never go and say, I remember your name, but I forgot your face.”

“That three ingredients for a better memory p stands for place. We remember things based on where we put it. Like you put your keys in a certain spot each time you're always going to find it because it's organized, right? You forget someone's name, you ask yourself, where do I know the person? Sometimes the context gives you the content. So that's a place is a place to store the information. The I is imagine. We remember things better that we could see and imagine, meaning. I bet as difficult as names are to remember, you remember faces. So many people remember faces because more of your visual.”

“Does that work? It does, but when we're looking at methodology, repetition the problem with repetition, and certainly it leads, it gets a result. It's rote learning. It's like when the churches started universities and how people would teach would be the teacher or professor would say a fact to the class and the class would repeat it. And then the teacher would say it again and the class would repeat it. And so I'm making on video if you're watching this a circular motion. Like rotary, like a rotary club, they're simple as a wheel. The first half of the wheel is a teacher saying the fact. The second half of the wheel is a class repeating the fact. And you do that fifty times and then you build that pathway and you have quote unquote learning. The problem with that is it takes so much time. And now we live in an age where the amount of information is like doubling at dizzying speed, right? There's more information today in a newspaper than somebody in the seventeenth century ever came across in their whole life, right? I mean, you think about also blogs and social media and podcasts. It's just like it's overwhelming.”

“Repetition, interval training, then all of a sudden it becomes more of a path and eventually becomes a road and it becomes a highway, and we've made that connection. So I like pulling on things that are natural as metaphors, but we learn through metaphors because all of learning is taking something you don't know and connecting it to something you do know.”

“Right. And that's a great synapses of it, and I would say that so how How it builds. So every single time you have a new, there's a Oliver Wendell Holmes quote that says a person's mind once stretched by new idea never regains its original dimensions. And so when we have, so neuroplasticity happens when we experience novelty. So we learn a new idea or something happens in our environment. It's neuroplasticity allows learning, allows adaptation. It even allows recovery from traumatic brain injury, right? I had these deficiencies, if we call them that, and I was able to compensate by creating workarounds like somebody would do in some kind of program. And then you start building paths. Another way of neuroplasticity, it's kind of like if I walked through a field and there are lots of bushes, you know, I walk through it once and I, you know, not much changes. But if you take that path and you reinforce it through repetition or space.”

“So the idea here is anyone can make things more complex, but the idea is when you really understand something, you could simplify it in a way that makes it usable for the end result, right? And not only the end result, but the process of learning it. So meaning, I love reading the neuroscience papers and having deep conversations. And I think where if we had any level of success is translating that in a way to people where it's conversational, where they see the relevance in their daily lives, in the application, and it's results oriented.”

“You can explain it to somebody. I mean, the whole Richard Feynman method was, you know, take this difficult subject, neuroscience, quantifit, whatever it happens to be, like social media marketing, AI, and explain it to me as if I am a six-year-old, you know, right? And that can, you know, and I can open a whole thing with this conversation in terms of artificial intelligence and creatives. But I really feel like all these tools are there to augment. I don't even think it's artificial intelligence. For me, it's obviously machine learning, but it's augmented intelligence. And I'm thinking like, how do I use this tool? Like I would use a book or computer or the internet or whatever to AI to enhance HI, like human intelligence. I'm very interested in that.”

“They would have a better concentration, would they take more notes? Would they ask more postmore questions online? They would own that information.

“Yet I feel also when we teach something, we get to learn it twice, meaning you share that with your friends, your family, your followers, your fans. It takes advantage of something called the explanation effect. The explanation effect says that when you learn something with the intention of explaining it to somebody else, you're going to learn it much better. And that's kind of obvious, right? If we talked about speed reading or the best brain foods or changing your habits, optimizing your sleep, the kind of things that we specialize in, and somebody listening had to give a TEDx talk about it the following week, would they focus better?”

“That's just the truth, right? They're probably like, why are you always watching these podcasts and videos and all this stuff, you know, because sometimes family and friends don't want to lose you and they want to kind of keep you in a certain place. And but if you ask yourself, why must I use this and you get into head, heart, and hands, then you have this incredible purpose and drive. And then another question I ask besides, how can I use this? Why must I use this is when will I use this? I think one of the most important productivity performance tools we have is our calendar. But you'll see people have a schedule investor meetings. They'll schedule team calls, sales meetings, whatever, doctor's appointments, but they're not always scheduling their execution of things that they read from that business book or something that they watched.

“A lot of people read a page in a book get to the end and just forget what they just read, or not even understand it because they didn't have any questions to begin with. And so I think that a lot of times we get used to just listening to a podcast or watching a YouTube or reading a book, and then we feel like our lives are different because of just that process. And I just want to remind everybody, for every hour you spend listening to a podcast, I would challenge everybody to spend an equal hour putting that into play. And one of the ways you could do that as you're listening something is ask yourself three dominant questions for me as how can I use this? So I'm obsessed with this question, how can I use this, you know, because then I start saying, there's the answer, there's an answer, there's an answer. Second question, why must I use this? Because common sense is not common practice. Your listeners have probably forgotten more about life-changing transformation, health, wellness, business than most people in their lives come across.”

Of us, we start asking questions, especially if we're faced difficulty and we go, mine is like, how do I fix this or how do I make it better?

He asked that unconsciously wherever came from, how do I make this moment magical? And I realized that he was living that question, his dominant question which determines the dominant thoughts and actions. For me, I grew up with the broken brain, so I was like, I didn't have answers. I was like, how do I be invisible? And for years, I would just like shrink down and get sick psychologically before I had to take a test. So I get to go to the nurse instead of having to perform. But later I switched it to like, how do I fix this? And then my dumb question ended up being, how do I make this better? And I'm obsessed you and I were talking before we started recording this idea of being the best version of yourself. And at some level you must have thoughts or defining question that says how do I make this better?”

So if you're going around in the city and somebody shouts out your name, you're going to turn around even if you know logically you don't know that person, but you're wired, your RAS is wired for your name, right? And think about how it got there. It's probably one of the first words you learned how to be able to write and say and how much praise, how much love is associated to be able to your identity around a name, but also would also helps us to channel our RAS in terms of our focus are the questions we ask.

“Court case and conversation, and that the rule is you have to talk as if you're from that point of view. And that allows us to get outside of ourselves. It's similar to innovation, where there's a book called The Structure of Scientific Revolution. It's not a really fun read, but the essence of it is a lot of innovation and progress comes from people outside of that industry because it takes somebody from the outside to have a different lens or hat that didn't have the same learned helplessness and taught the same limitations of how things should have been done.
