The Truth About Learning Most People Ignore (Olly Richards)

This is one of the most valuable episodes for anyone trying to learn a new skill or master their craft.

Olly Richards comes on the show.

He spent the first 7 years of his “career” as a jazz musician. Then spent the next 7 years as an English teacher, traveling the world. After that, he spent 7 years building a $10M online education business.

Something about Olly's journey (mastering jazz, then languages, then entrepreneurship) reveals the truth about how humans actually learn that nobody wants to admit.

This episode was all about why traditional learning fails, how your brain actually absorbs information, the environment vs study myth, building systems that serve you, and so much more.
