Think it’s impossible to complete and pass a 4 year MIT course, in just 1 year?

Not for Scott Young.

He’s the author of "Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career", where he shares how he managed to turn 4 years of learning into 1.

It’s a technique he calls “Ultralearning,” an aggressive, self-directed method that helped him master self portraiture in a month– and it’s helping him learn his wife’s native language right now.

Over the course of his book, Scott shares the scientific basis for his techniques, as well as sharing the stories of a few other “Ultralearners.”

A poor public speaker who becomes a Toastmasters Top 10 Finalist, someone who acquires language mastery with ease, and a man who won the French Scrabble Championships: without speaking French.

If you’re looking to train, upskill, or prepare your people, our conversation with Scott is one you’re not going to want to miss.

Let’s bring it in!
