    Welcome to our ninth episode of Beating The Odds with mentalist and memory expert, Jim Karol. 
    On BTO, Jim shares his knowledge of memory while interviewing others that are making an impact in our world. Beating The Odds guests range from top military leaders and former athletes, to some of the most brilliant people in the science and medical fields. 

    On Episode 9 of Beating The Odds we have Dr. James V. Hardt. Dr. Hardt is the founder and president of the Biocybernaut Institute. A Biocybernaut is for the mind and body what an astronaut is for outer space, to paraphrase Hardt’s own words to Jim. For the last 30 years Dr. Hardt has been studying the relationship between brain waves and human functioning. He’s studied monks, yogis, and zen meditators to eventually develop his technology based on electroencephalographic (EEG) measurement and feedback. The Biocybernaut technology can cure key aspects of personality and has been endorsed by Tony Robbins and many others. 

    Today on Beating The Odds, Jim and Dr. Hardt spoke about the differences in brainwave states and what that means for your mood, effectiveness, and creativity. Along with that, Jim learned which state he is in when he’s memorizing thousands of digits and even displayed one of his card counting tricks right before our eyes.

You can't find a podcast like this

Jim has stunned his audiences with his purely mental abilities. Whether he's bending 60-penny nails or repeating 70,000 digits of pi, Jim is always doing something incredible. This podcast is the culmination of his 20 years in entertainment and I can't wait to see what he does with it.

Thanks Jim!
