“The world is changing and the rate of change has never been faster. We have to keep learning to keep up. If you think you have it figured out, you’re going to get disrupted and fall behind.

Did you know that the average CEO reads 52 books a year?

According to this episode’s guest, that’s because reading is a powerful way to learn, grow, and get new ideas. But is passive learning enough to reach your full potential and are there other strategies you can explore to accelerate your growth curve?

These are some of the questions I put to Andy Storch during this deep-dive conversation.

Andy is a consultant, coach, and facilitator who helps people do the best work of their lives by enhancing their overall performance. He’s worked with a huge range of clients including Google, Red Bull, Sony, and Toyota as well as small businesses and startup CEOs.

Andy is passionate about leadership development, self-improvement, and using learning as a tool to get the max out of your life too. 

So as you can imagine I couldn’t wait to dive down the rabbit hole to pull out some shots of wisdom.

Check out the episode now to discover some practical steps you can take to become your best.

We learn best from failures, so if everything you do is successful, then you’re probably not challenging yourself enough and you aren’t reaching your true potential.”

We cover a lot in this episode including:

  1. The 3-part circle of learning and growth that helps us consolidate and apply new information and insights
  2. The unexpected power of teaching to our own personal development journey
  3. How failure can become an asset that actually increases your confidence 
  4. How to differentiate between different sorts of fear so you don’t get stopped
  5. Why experiences are - without question - the most powerful way to learn
  6. The insane power of curiosity to force rapid growth
  7. The real reason you learn more when you’re surrounded by like-minded people

And if that’s not enough, you’ll also discover the specific strategies Andy uses to commit to his personal journey of learning.

If you know you have potential to do more, but you’re unsure how to get started, this episode for you. So tune in now and discover how to master your learning so you too can do the best work of your life.

“If you have the right mindset, the confidence and you’re able to go out and build relationships, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.”
