What is the secret to asking great questions?

If you’re a long time or a new listener to my training, you know that I always tell people that the questions are the answer. If you want a greater understanding and comprehension when you read, then ask better questions.

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to ask better questions that will give you better answers. And I can’t think of a better person to talk about this than my friend, Cal.

Calvin “Cal” Fussman is an American journalist and author. He is a Writer at Large for Esquire magazine, known for the What I’ve Learned column, where he interviews leaders in various fields, which have included Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Jack Welch, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, Woody Allen, Barbara Walters, Pelé, Yao Ming, Serena Williams, John Wooden, and Muhammad Ali.

This is a powerful episode, and I hope it will help you to re-activate your curiosity and creativity.

What the heck should I eat for my brain?

If you’ve listened to the past podcast episodes, you know the most popular one was “The 10 Keys to Unlocking Your Kwik Brain.” While 1/3 of our brain is pre-determined by genetics and biology, the 2/3 of it is entirely in your control. And the first thing on that list is the food that you eat. But with so many choices (or lack thereof) these days, what should we eat to have an optimal brain?

To dive deeper into this subject, we have a very special guest today. Dr. Mark Hyman is a director of Cleveland Clinique, a center for functional medicine, 11 times bestselling author, along with his new book, “Food, What The Heck Should I Eat?”.

Listen in as we go over the top 3 brain foods you should eat AND 3 foods you should avoid.

When you’re reading something, do you ever lose focus? Do you ever get tired and fatigued? Do you ever get frustrated?

When people are reading, one of the biggest complaints I hear is that they get tired while reading.

To help you with that, I brought my sleep doctor and one of my dear friends, Dr. Michael Breus, on today’s episode to talk about sleep, reading, and chronotypes (the science of best times WHEN to do things for YOUR specific body type).

He’s written a number of books, including “The Power of When” and “The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan.”

In less than 15 minutes, you will discover: 

• How to overcome reading fatigue
• The worst time of the day to read (it’s not what you think)
• 5 easy sleep hacks for deep rejuvenation and greater mental energy
• How to minimize fixations to prevent excessive eye strain
• And more…

In today’s episode, we are going to answer one of the most asked questions in our Kwik Podcast FB community:

“I’m going through a lot of difficult times right now, things are a little bit crazy. How do I stay focused and resilient during these tough times?”

When you think about resilience, you think about the capacity to cope with stress and adversity. But it’s not necessarily a trait people are born with. The good news is that it involves behavior, thoughts, habits, mindset, and actions that we can all learn and develop over time.

To answer this important topic, I want to introduce you to Tara Mackey. She is a scientist, a #1 bestselling author of “Cured By Nature,” a health & wellness advocate, and an amazing human being.

Her story is absolutely incredible. Listen in as she shares her techniques to unlock your mind and master your habits so you can be more resilient throughout your day.

Be sure to check out her brand new book, “Wild Habits,” at www.wildhabitsbook.com and you can find her @taraamackey on socials.

The more you learn, the more dots you can connect.

How do you become an exponential thinker? What does it mean to be an exponential thinker or a really BIG thinker?

We talk a lot about how our life is a reflection of our thinking. This is the millennium of the mind. We get paid to think. It’s not our brute strength, but brain strength.

I’m very honored to bring my friend, Naveen Jain, on this episode to share with you some of the ideas to becoming an exponential thinker.

He is a very successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and created a number of businesses including, Moon Express, the only company in the world given permission to leave Earth’s orbit and land on the moon.

Strap in as we share some of the principles and ideas of exponential thinking, and how you can train yourself to think exponentially.

How do you go from burnout to balance?

Most of us have days where we feel depleted, helpless, overloaded, where you don’t want to get out of bed, and much less pursue your dreams.

But what if you’re feeling like this on most days? Then you might be suffering from a burnout.

Our bodies and brains are equipped to handle stress in short bursts, but not over long extended periods of time.

The impact of burnout is very real. Lack of motivation, decrease in confidence and performance, increased moodiness, negative thinking, all of which lower the quality of life you desire and deserve.

But this burnout is a signal, not a sentence.

So in this episode, I would like to talk about the signs of burnout AND the solutions you can apply to negate them.
