Picking back up with the tenth installment of my Learn How to Learn Deep Dive, I'm revealing something counterintuitive: the key to learning isn't just about putting in more hours -- it's about mastering the rhythms of learning. The most successful learners don't just push harder -- they understand when to shift gears. It's about ebb and flow, imitating the rhythms we see in nature all around us. Drawing from my own journey learning Spanish, I demonstrate how small, consistent actions combined with strategic breaks can lead to remarkable growth. It's time to work with your natural rhythms, not against them. --- P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind. The online program will teach you the same exact systems and strategies we've been using to transform brands for the past 20 years. No more wishing things could be different -- no more theorizing without action -- no more saying "that's for other brands, but not for me." With Legendary Brands Academy, everything is designed for you to take action and see transformation in real time. You'll learn the step-by-step systems you can begin to implement today.

I read a lot of books (200+ each year), and I'm often asked for recommendations. Out of the many books from last year, there were 12 non-fiction books that I gave a 5 star rating. In this episode, I share why Decoding Greatness by Ron Friedman stands out among these exceptional reads. Ask a legend in sports, business, or art about how they achieved their success, and you'd likely find a wealth of knowledge about their strategies, mindsets, and daily practices. If you want to be great in any category, you have to learn. Continuing our exploration of how to learn effectively, Decoding Greatness by Ron Friedman offers invaluable insights that build on everything we've discussed in our "Learn How to Learn" series. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. When going through your learning journey, always remember: you don't have to learn alone. You can learn from the greats. You can learn how *they* learned.

In this ninth installment of my Learn How to Learn Deep Dive, I'm tackling one of the most critical elements of growth: Feedback. Without good feedback, you could be reinforcing the wrong habits or working on the wrong things entirely. Through personal stories (from my early days in theater to my current practice of getting feedback from my wife), I share my journey of how honest feedback changed my rate of growth. You'll learn specific techniques for getting honest feedback, including an email template I use that you can request. Feel free to reach out to me at scott@swozconsulting.com (mailto:scott@swozconsulting.com) if you'd like a copy of this feedback template. --- P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

Our Learn How to Learn Deep Dive has reached it's eighth installment. I'm revealing why your growth rate is determined by your amount of practice. It's common to passively wait for learning opportunities to happen to us, or only learn our lesson when we've already screwed up. But through my own journey (from learning Spanish to controlling my legendary sweet tooth), I'll show you how to design your own practice sessions for any skill you want to develop. And with these strategies in place, your "bad days" don't just have to be bad days -- they can become "good data." It's time to stop being a victim of circumstance and start putting yourself in the drivers seat of your own growth journey. --- P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

In the seventh installment of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive, we're exploring what might be the most important -- and most overlooked -- aspect of learning: the role of feelings and beliefs in your growth journey. Most people think learning is just about acquiring new information or skills. But what if your feelings and beliefs are setting the ceiling for how much you can grow? Through personal stories of both success and setbacks, I explain why the technical "how-to" often isn't what's holding us back -- it's our emotional readiness for change. I share my own journey of working on my heart first, which ultimately led to faster external growth than those who focused only on skills. It's time to look deeper than just acquiring new information. Let's explore how cultivating a healthy heart might be the key to unlocking your learning potential. --- P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

For the sixth installment of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive, we're tackling a counterintuitive truth: sometimes the key to growth isn't what you learn, but what you unlearn. Western thinking often focuses on addition and accumulation. But subtraction might actually be the missing piece in your growth journey. From outdated coping mechanisms to limiting self-beliefs, learn how to identify what's no longer serving you. Most importantly, discover why being wrong feels exactly like being right -- and how this insight can transform your approach to personal growth. You'll hear all about how I had to learn these truths the hard way, and it wasn't always easy. If you can apply these principles now, the faster you'll be able to skyrocket your learning and personal growth. It's time to embrace unlearning as a crucial part of your learning journey. --- P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

It's the fifth episode of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive. In a world of constant distractions and shrinking attention spans, how do you create the environment for true deep thinking? I share surprising tactical tips that have transformed my ability to process deeply -- from the unexpected power of paper over digital, to the scientific reason you should take a power nap. Even though I gravitate towards action and excitement, my quiet times of peace and solitude are essential for my mental wellbeing. You'll discover why NASA requires astronauts to nap, why being near water matters more than you think, and how to handle the inevitable distractions that try to derail your thinking time. These aren't just productivity hacks -- they're scientifically-backed strategies for creating the physical and mental space needed for breakthrough insights.

Welcome to the fourth episode of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive. We're moving beyond just gathering and processing ideas to explore the powerful questions that can transform your thinking. I share my favorite frameworks for tackling complex problems and making better decisions. You'll learn about the "doing vs. being" perspective, how to gain distance from a problem using time horizons, and why asking "if money were no object" can lead to breakthrough insights. I also dive into the "Five Whys" technique and how it can uncover root causes in both business and personal situations. From reframing parenting challenges to making critical business decisions, these tools have been game-changers for me. I even share a personal story about balancing work travel with family time that illustrates how these frameworks play out in real life. It's time to elevate your problem-solving skills and make more intentional choices.

It's the third episode of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive. You've gathered new ideas, but how do you actually process them? In this episode, I share practical tips that incorporate not just your mind, but also your body and emotions, to help you process your thoughts. We'll explore why community and externalizing your ideas can be just as valuable as solitude and introspection. Plus, you'll never look at cows the same way again after hearing an unexpected metaphor for effective learning.
