  1. “ships in a night near passing each other and there's no there's no connection. That's there. And so it feels like you're learning with the opposite hand. So, what happens? It takes longer. The quality's not as good. It feels a little weird and uncomfortable. So I feel like when you know what your strengths are, you can lean into it and then further refine it. And we get people's suggestions if they want to improve areas that they're not as strong in to be able to boost that.”

  2. “Yeah. So we have when you go through it, there's a primary and there's a secondary, you know. And so these are usually very, very few people because we have all the back-end stats is completely even, 25% and so on. But we usually have a place where if I ask everybody to write their name on a piece of paper, you could do that. But if I ask you to switch hands and below it, write your first and last name below that, that second time is going to feel, it's going to take longer. It's going to feel awkward, and the quality is probably not going to be as good as the first one. And have you ever been in a situation where you're learning something? And it's a subject you're interested in, but for some reason, you're just not getting it because you're just not connecting with the instructor. It's kind of like the way that they prefer to teach is different than the way you prefer to learn. And it's like you're too.”

  3. “are your elephants, and your elephants I chose them because they were I use them as representative a symbol for empathy they love collaboration tribes, right, working team environment. So we created these models because you know yourself even in the matrix when he's going to see the oracle and the sign right above in the kitchen was know thyself. And then we could be ourselves. But the more you know about yourself, and then you have a way of filtering the world and then not being judgmental of yourself or even others is just how people are organized. Some people are just right-handed or they're left-handed, right? They have certain preferences. And so these are, it could help you inform you based on yourself if you know you thrive in certain environments. And then we give, you know, in the report careers that you would excel in, and this is kind of obvious, right? If somebody's creative certain career paths.”

  4. “The D are your dolphins and your dolphins are your creative visionaries. These people love problem solving. They love to be creative expression great at pattern recognition, right? They see patterns that maybe other people don't see as easily or naturally.”

  7. “So many people mitigated their expression of who they are because of looking bad or how people would perceive them and so on. But this cognitive type, and I'll go back to the answer to your question, we found in delineate, I pulled from Myers-Briggs and multiple intelligence theory introvert, extrovert, ambivert, lateral thinking styles to realize there are about four buckets of cognitive types, and I used animals as a metaphor to represent them.”

  8. “graphic artists, architects, right, musical intelligence. It just goes on. So there are these other assessments. And I really, the reason why we put so many of this in limitless and our podcast and we created our own assessment recently this year. We haven't talked about it. We're just launching it now called Cognitive Types. And these are, I use animals as a metaphor because I think so much of us for happiness for me has always been having the curiosity to know yourself, right? That's why you go to therapy or you journal or you meditate or you read about that interrupt personal intelligence, self-to-self, as opposed to interpersonal self to others. Having the courage to be yourself is a different game too.”

  9. “Yeah, we have a couple assessments in limitless, but you can find it online, you know, free assessments for brain dominance, left and right brain. In there, we have multiple intelligence theory, a study at a research out of Harvard University by Howard Gardner says that there's not in the US and a lot of Westernized societies. They tend to emphasize two kinds of intelligences, verbal linguistic and mathematical. Here in the States, we have the SATs, right? It's just verbal, you know, reading comprehension and mathematical. Howard Gardner says they're actually not limited to two intelligences, and so they're more, and each one can be developed. And so, for example, kinesthetic intelligence, your great choreographers, your great dancers, athletes, people who have this innate talent that could relate to people and connect. Visual spatial intelligence, people who are...”

  10. “Yes, very much so, and even develop we had our firstborn recently a few months ago, you know, so crawling, you know, as you look at the study of brain development, that cross lateral is very important. Even we do that in our events when we do our brain conferences and such, we get everybody standing up and doing these area science called educational kinesiology popularized by Brain Gym where you take one knee. things that are crossing the midline forces left and right brain communication. So you have a left brain and your right brain and separated by that is a bridging station called a corpus colossum. And by doing these exercises, it increases communication between left and right brain. And this is an oversimplification. Left brain is, if someone's a left brain, they're said to be more logical, right? How do we know if”

  11. “You know, everyone, we talk about a mind-body connection. We hear that a lot. The primary reason you have a brain is to control your movement. That's the number one reason mammals have brains is to control movement. And it's not just a one-way connection that you Yes, your brain controls your movement, but actually moving actually stimulates different parts of your brain.”

  12. “Yeah, I mean, this study aging with grace would be evidence that you want to keep your mind active till the day you die at every age or stage, right? That you could actually stave off brain aging challenges much like an atrophy of the mind, if you will, just like you would keep your body active. I mean, I think most people have the same understanding if they stop moving their body, you know, over, you know, at the retirement years, then, you know, it leads to probably unfavorable results.”

  13. “And because they were learning all the time on the daily, it had a year's sir life, but also life to their years. It made the cover of a Time magazine, but I do really do believe that we have to keep our minds active as much as we have to keep our bodies active.”

  14. “You know, the two biggest dips cognitively in terms of cognitive performance in people's life cycle usually happens when people graduate school because somehow they associate education along with learning. They think their traditional education is over so their learning is they're done learning, right? And that can be an unconscious belief. But the other dip in cognitive performance is usually when people retire. Often when people retire out of their career, their job, sometimes they mentally retire. And it's interesting that once the mind kind of retires, the body is not too far behind. There is a study done on these nuns. It was a longevity study called aging with grace as a great title. They're living eighty, ninety, and above, and they wanted to find out what was the cause of their longevity. And they said half of it was their emotional faith or gratitude. The other half.”

  15. “and a high reliance on technology like using your phone as an external memory storage, they call digital dementia. There's a new term in healthcare. Digital dementia is the high reliance on technology to store information that you would normally have to store in your brain, but now that you don't have to do it, not everybody is exercising those parts of our brain to keep our memory sharp.”

  16. “I think people tend to come to us because they are struggling with distraction, with memory loss, with overload, right, and anxiety from information anxiety. They're drowning information. I think people who come to me realize that their ability to learn and translate that learning into action is an incredible competitive advantage in a world where there's lots of distraction, there's lots of overload, there's lots of technology that would make our life easier, but it also in some ways while it's convenient, it could also cripple us in a way that we're not using our mental faculties as much as just like, you know, my shirt here says use it, right? It's like use it or lose it. It's like our body. If I put my arm in a sling for a year, it wouldn't grow stronger. It wouldn't even say the same.”

  17. “She was sincere, but she, you know, like all I was trying to help, but that's all I remembered was like, oh, I didn't know I had the broken brain. And so that became my explanatory schema for everything. Every single time I did badly in school, which was daily, I did badly on a test or report. Or I would say I had the broken brain. Or if I wasn't picked for sports, which was all the time, I was just this little kid. I would say, oh, because I have the broken brain. And that label became my limit. You know, it's you know, I do believe that we have to be fully responsible for our lives. So I don't want to say that was a victim, but we are shaped by our environment, by our experiences, by our external. And that was very, that was something that I really struggle with.”

  18. “Yeah, if I was five years old in public school, elementary school, kindergarten here in the States, had an accident where I lost my balance and I went head first into the radiator, separating the window and me. There's a lot of blood and I was rushed to the hospital where it really showed up though was my parents where I was very as a child very energized like most kids, very playful, very curious, very excited processing issues, they said. I didn't understand things like everybody else. Teachers would repeat themselves over and over again. And later on when I was nine years old, I remember I was being teased pretty bad for slowing down the class. And a teacher came to my defense, but she pointed to me in front of the whole class and said Leave this kid alone, that's the boy with a broken brain. And that really became my idea.”

  19. “They wouldn't say or think something they didn't want to be true. And that's not to say you have one negative thought it ruins your life any more than eating that one donut will ruin your life but you ate those donuts every single day consistency will compound and it'll change the direction or the destination”

  20. “Are it's complete BS belief systems if you want to give it a label BS belief systems I believe our brains are just incredible supercomputer and our self-talk our thoughts or beliefs are the program it will run so if you tell yourself I'm not good at remembering people's name you will not remember the name and next person you meet because you program your supercomputer not to and it's more than anecdotal I really do believe people at events will see me do these demonstrations they're surprised to hear that I grew up with learning difficulties and put in special education but before I go on stage people invariably in the lobby pull me aside and the whisper to me when no one's listening Jim I'm so glad you're here I have a horrible memory I'm getting way too old I'm not smart enough and always say stop if you fight for your limitations you get to keep them if you fight for your limits they're yours if people truly understood how powerful their mind is”

  22. “This is awesome because with my grades improving, my life improved, and I started to affect my identity and how I saw myself and how other people saw me. The other emotion I felt if I'm honest was anger. I was so upset that I spent my entire childhood struggling every single day, unsure about myself, doubting myself, and there were simple things that I couldn't I could have learned that what it made my life a lot easier, and I realized then in school that is not how smart you are, it's how are you smart. It's not how smart you are, how smart your significant other is, your kids are, your teammates, it's how are they smart. And I do believe that we have this, if knowledge is power, then learning is our superpower. And the superpower we all have.”

  23. “and through those struggles, you know, I developed some strength over the years. And I always thought it was interesting that there's no class on focus, on concentration, on recall, right? And so I put the schoolwork aside because I wasn't getting any gains there anyway. And I start really focusing on this learning how to learn. And so I put my focus in those areas, start studying a little bit about adult learning theory. I got introduced to mnemonics, which is memory techniques, speed reading, the ardent science of reading for better comprehension, understanding. In about two months into it, a light switch flipped on, and I just started to understand things in school for the first time. And it was so pronounced that I felt two emotions.”

  24. “Our team is small in people, but we're big in purpose. Our mission is to build better, brighter brains, no brain left behind. I feel like we live in the millennium of the mind where our mind controls so much, in our lives, our relationships, our health, our careers, our schooling, and yet our mind, it doesn't come with an owner's manual, and it's not user friendly, yet it's our number one wealth building asset, like nobody listening is paid. It's not like it was a hundred years ago, where it's your brute strength, today it's your brain strength. It's not like it's your muscle power, today it's your mind power. And I do believe the faster you learn, the faster you could earn, because knowledge today is knowledge power, knowledge is profit, and I don't just mean financial, that's kind of obvious, but it's all the treasures of our life. And the reason I'm so passionate about it is I grew up with a traumatic brain injury when I was a child, and just things didn't work for me like everybody.”

  25. “We live in an age where the amount of information is doubling at dizzying speed, the higher reliance of technology to store information that you would normally have to store in your brain means that not everybody is exercising those parts keep her memory sharp. The other dip in cognitive performance, often when people retire, they mentally retire. The body is not too far behind. There is a study done on these nuns. They're living 90 and above, and because they were learning all the time, it added years to their life. It surprises a lot of people because they have this thinking that their intelligence is fixed. The truth is, there's no such thing as good or bad memory. There's a trained memory and there's an untrained memory. I'm going to give everybody right now the 10 keys, and this is how real transformation happens.”
