The SuperHuman Academy Podcast

An interview with Dr. Andrew Hill, Ph.D in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA, who is is currently focused on developing tools and technologies to help everyday citizens enhance their cognitive performance outside of the lab. In under an hour, we cover every imaginable method of how to increase brain power, mental performance, and intellectual longevity, and we offer a TON of practical steps you can and should take TODAY. I just know you're going to LOVE this episode and share it with all of your friends.

Our guest this week is one of the world's most renowned experts on learning languages quickly and effectively. By his early-20's, Benny Lewis had failed to learn Spanish and Irish, despite living in Spain and growing up in Ireland. As a result, he decided to reapproach language learning in a smarter way, and developed his own system. Using this methodology, he has since becoming fluent and confident in 7 languages. He runs a popular blog called Fluent in 3 months, and his book of the same title was the #1 bestseller across numerous categories and countries on Amazon. Benny has been featured in Time Magazine, Forbes, Lifehacker, the BBC, and many more, and he also gave one of my favorite TEDx talks of all time.

An interview with Nelson Dellis, 3X USA Memory Champion, accomplished mountain climber, and Alzheimer's crusader. Nelson and I discuss memory, willpower, tenacity, and how his two fields of expertise, memory and rock climbing, cross-pollinate and make him a better all-around superhuman. Besides just an insight into how an elite memory athlete trains, Nelson's words offer inspiration and motivation as to how we can conquer some of the most challenging goals in our lives.

We interview Yuri Marmerstein, an acrobat and gymnast who has made a name for himself as one of the authorities on hand balancing. Yuri's feats, which you can see in the video below, are absolutely superhuman, but what's more impressive is that despite spending some time training with some of the greats, Yuri is largely self taught, and is teaching people all over the world to perform these seemingly superhuman feats by themselves. What he offers, then, is a very unique perspective on learning incredible acrobatic and physical feats from someone who was not born into it, and who hasn't trained since the age of 4, like most of the elite gymnasts you may have seen. This interview is very technical and nerdy, and we go very deep into some of the skills and the path to learning them. But, if you've ever dreamed of standing on one hand, doing double backflips, or any other seemingly superhuman gymnastic skills, you'll find the interview to be really fascinating and encouraging!

An interview with Dr. Anthony Metivier, an experienced author, consultant, expert in the field of memory. Dr. Anthony is a fellow instructor on Udemy, and he has been a friend of mine since I originally appeared on his highly-rated podcast, the Magnetic Memory Method. Anthony's innovations in the field of mnemonics help him teach people all over the world how to exceed in academics, learn languages, memorize poetry, and a whole host of other amazing skills. And now, I'm very excited to introduce you to Dr. Anthony Metivier.

An absolutely awesome chat with Erwan Le Corre, the founder of "MovNat." MovNat is an unconventional school of physical training emphasizing a broader understanding of human movement and health. The point of all this is of course to improve strength, mobility, agility, and just about every physical performance attribute you can think of. Throughout the interview, though, we went far beyond physical performance, and started to tackle some of the big questions about modern lifestyles, happiness, and the future of human wellbeing.

In this episode, I host Professor Anna and Dr. Lev Goldentouch, my co-instructors in our bestselling online course. Their combined backgrounds in both psychology and information theory are the basis of the methodology for training what I would later brand "SuperLearners," and together the three of us have taught tens of thousands of people to read, learn, and memorize information at a rate of about 3X.
