Will AI Replace the Need for Second Brains?

Only one more week to go until the tickets for our inaugural Second Brain Summit go live on May 14th. My team and I are working around the clock to create the best possible experience for you on October 3rd and 4th in LA. I can't stress enough how big of a difference in-person events made in my career. People I met became pivotal collaborators or mentors. Ideas I heard in passing ended up being cornerstones of my work. Mindsets and perspectives I absorbed from thought leaders changed who I am...

For much of my life, I’ve run full speed after a vision of what it means to be maximally productive. I’ve tried countless apps, methods, frameworks, habits, and psychological tricks to try and squeeze more output out of myself. I’ve had a lot of success following that path, but it has also led me to a realization: that there is something deeper than productivity. Lying just below our desire for more, better, faster, there are more fundamental things we are seeking: love, connection, intimacy,...

My friend and marketing advisor Billy Broas visited me at my home studio last week... Where we recorded a video about Simple Marketing for Smart People – the book we're writing together. At the core of Billy's marketing philosophy is that your customers need certain beliefs to embrace your product. Without these beliefs, no amount of discounts, free content, or tactics will suffice. You have the power to instill these beliefs and that’s what Simple Marketing for Smart People is all about. You...

I just got back from an incredible trip to Mexico for the release of Building a Second Brain in Spanish. I had the opportunity to do a book signing and Q&A session at a beautiful bookstore called Rosario Castellanos that I used to go to when I lived in Mexico City in 2019. I gave a talk at Centro University (more on that below) and did my first TV interview in Spanish, live on air! Here's a 1-minute highlight reel of my trip: Don't forget to grab your copy of Crea Tu Segundo Cérebro on Amazon...

I had a fantastic time speaking at the Festival de las Ideas in Mexico this past weekend. I made a short video sharing my impressions that you can watch on TikTok or on X. And check out this amazing stage design: "You Only Know What You Make" This is one of my all-time favorite quotes, originating from the Latin phrase "verum ipsum factum" by 18th-century philosopher Giambattista Vico. It's my reminder to you to not just passively consume more information that soon will be forgotten. Instead,...

Last week, we launched our BASB Foundation course in Portuguese! It's the first course we've ever translated to another language. I chose Portuguese because it's my native language and I want to make the course more accessible in Brazil where my family is from. Here's my official announcement video on our Brazilian Instagram channel. The course is now available for purchase on Hotmart, the most popular online course platform in Brazil. Check out the course The Art of Achieving Flow States for...
