Episode notes

People have this idea that they have to do lots of work or lots and lots of practice. For me, it's essential because I'm trying to save your life. Laying down a slow, deliberate, deliberate practice foundation is only going to make you better. A study done at the University of Chicago where they took three groups of people, A, B, and C, and had them do free throws. Group A improved 24% because practice makes progress, right? Group B, who didn't practice. No, no, no advancement. So you break things into parts, little by little, a little becomes a lot.

How do you learn faster by going slower?

That may sound like a contradiction, but we’re going to be talking about this key component to learning in this episode.

This topic is also important because, to truly learn something, you have it go through it step-by-step and be patient with yourself.

We enjoy bringing knowledge from a lot of different aspects of life, and this is one of them.

We have Tim Larkin joining us today to talk about this topic of going slow to learn fast.

What makes him interesting is that he’s a self-protection advocate, a Self Defense Instructor of the Year, and the Black Belt Hall Of Fame. A former military intelligence officer, Tim was part of a group that redesigned how Special Operations personnel trained for close combat.

Because of his background, Tim brings a unique perspective to this topic of focus and learning.
