    Mastering Mastery: Unraveling Learning with Scott Young

    Mastering Mastery: Unraveling Learning with Scott Young

    I first met Scott Young nearly ten years ago when he completed all the requirements for a four-year MIT degree in computer science in just 12 months. He's an expert at learning things quickly and recently authored the book "Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery." I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with him, as I'm always interested in learning and mastering new skills. Scott Young excels in this area, and we discuss it thoroughly in this episode.

    Tim Ferriss: 10 Years Later...

    Tim Ferriss has a life-changing surprise for you, and it will change our lives. Yes, both of us.
    It was expensive. I mean, it was expensive for him. It cost him a couple hundred thousand dollars to get. It also wasn't easy. He fought for a year and a half to get it.

    Scott Galloway's Ultimate Guide to Financial Well-Being: The Algebra of Wealth

    Scott Galloway's Ultimate Guide to Financial Well-Being: The Algebra of Wealth

    "The Algebra of Wealth" is a very good book by Scott Galloway and I had a very good conversation with him about how to create wealth, along with all the mistakes he's ever made. He's started nine companies: two were super successful, and several were pretty successful. He's talked about entrepreneurship so much. He's a really smart guy and these lessons are about building wealth. I wish I had known them when I was younger. I wish my kids would know them and I want your kids to know them. So pay attention to this conversation I'm about to have with Scott Galloway, Professor G.

James is a Jesus of Ideas and he should die only after 1,000 years

I love your podcast not because you interview your hero's on the podcast. But because you are my hero. Listening to your podcast is like drinking water. I can’t live with that. I am more into audio than videos, and James, this podcast is the best place to visit every day. I want to appreciate you starting 30 Day Book challenges. It is changing my life and will change my life economically in less than 6 months.

James is great at just what he does.

He is perfectly curious for interviewing and learning from people who he is interviewing so it makes a perfect juice of all this grind that he put himself through. It’s truly a go through and learn podcast everyone who is willing to learn should listen.

You make my running better

I’m done listening with music while running or walking since I’ve discovered your podcast now James. I take notes. I love the content. Each episode always gives some new ideas, some new stuff to think about, talk about and think about again. Planning to go though all episodes this entire year.
