Gene Zannetti was on his way to a doctorate in clinical psychology when things took a turn. But the treatment world's loss is the the performance world's gain, because Gene and his brother Jeff went on to create mindset training programs that help athletes and students reach their full potential. The Spaniard first met Gene on the wrestling mat, and you'll learn the results of their two matches. Now the two compare notes on thorough preparation backed by science, history and the examples of top performers. There's also mention of the "Handsome Discount" that may or may not have worked in Gene's favor ...

Boy, these episodes are fun. When I produce a show, I envision someone who could care less about reading books and learning, who actually is against it. I envision taking that person and TOTALLY 180'ing the way they think about books and learning. My goal is to create lifelong learners out of the most un-lifelong-learners out there! This week's WIL is another example of that mission in action.

Listen in as ancient Toltec wisdom is explored the modern way—via Skype. The Spaniard beams into a class of ninth graders who have just read "The Four Agreements," by Don Miguel Ruiz. The students are treated to the energetic and thoughtful perspective of a teacher and book hound always seeking to get the most out of himself. The rich discussion leads to questions such as: "Which agreement is the hardest for you to follow?" and "What parts of the book do you NOT agree with?" Way to bring it, kids!

Learn how curiosity can help you see through the eyes of others, one of the long term benefits of curiosity and why your intent is as important as anything. All of this in 8 minutes. Enjoy today's AMX!

I've been asking a million questions for as long as I can remember. So, needless to say, I was delighted when Dread suggested I read A Curious Mind, by TV and movie producer, Brian Grazer. Let's get curious, friends!
