About this listen

“Why do some people learn faster than others?” Ever wondered why some people seem to absorb new information effortlessly, while others can barely remember what they had for breakfast? Is it really true that learning gets tougher as we age? And does picking up something new mean you're using up precious ‘brain space’?

In this episode, we’re diving into the science and strategy behind how we learn. Drawing on everything from LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report to Toyota’s innovative training approaches, we’ll explore why learning agility has become an essential skill in today’s world.

We’ll also share practical, research-backed techniques—like spaced repetition, interleaved practice, and the vital role of sleep—to help you make learning stick and truly last.

Whether you’re navigating change, keeping your mind sharp, or simply wanting to learn more effectively, this episode is packed with insights to help you unlock your brain’s full potential.
