#49 From Broken to Brilliant | Superheroes, Speed-Reading, and the Secret to Unlocking Your Inner Genius - Jim Kwik: Kwik Learning

When was the last time you skimmed over a book or article and realized that by the time you finished, absolutely nothing stuck? Well, it turns out speed-reading isn’t as easy as 1-2-3; like any superpower, it needs to be trained. Today we sit down to talk with Jim Kwik, author of Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, & Unlock Your Exceptional Life and founder of online brain-training platform Kwik Learning, which aims to enhance memory and teach speed-reading techniques. With students from over 195 countries, Kwik Learning has become an incredibly successful way to realize Jim’s mission: “No Brain Left Behind.” In this episode, Jim will discuss his early struggles with memory and reading; the life-changing trip to California that sparked his passion for “quick” (no pun intended) learning; the origins and impact of the Kwik Learning platform; and finally, the Limitless legacy that he wanted to leave behind. So kick back, relax, and let’s learn all the ways we can each unlock our own inner genius.

Feature Quotes

“I tell people that their life is like an egg. That if an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. But if it’s broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things begin on the inside, and showing people that they have greatness inside of them-- that they have genius inside of them-- is my mission. I’m gonna show people how to unleash that genius.”

“If knowledge is power, learning is our superpower. And it’s a superpower we all have. We just have to learn how to unleash it.”

“Your passion is what lights you up, but your purpose is how you use your passion to light other ppl up.”

“It’s interesting that the boy with the broken brain could go out there, and his mission is to build better brains & a better future for people… No brain left behind.”
