What if the real reason you struggle to focus, remember what you read, or follow through on your goals has nothing to do with willpower or intelligence and everything to do with your values?

In this episode, I sit down with world renowned human behavior expert Dr. John Demartini to explore how your values quietly control what you pay attention to, how fast you learn, and whether you actually apply what you know.

Dr. Demartini went from being a high school dropout with dyslexia and a speech impediment to reading over 30,000 books, teaching in more than 100 countries, and becoming one of the most respected thinkers in human behavior and values. In our conversation, he breaks down the exact process he used to rewire his brain, accelerate his learning, and turn struggle into mastery.

You will learn how to discover your true highest values, why they decide what your brain lets in or filters out, and how to link any subject even the ones you “hate” to what matters most to you so you stop procrastinating and start progressing. John also shares a powerful framework for moving from debate to dialogue so you can dissolve polarization, think more objectively, and actually change your mind when it serves you.

This conversation will show you how to align your learning with your deepest values so you can focus longer, remember more, and finally unlock your fullest potential.
