One of the most stressful periods of my life was when I was in credit card debt.

some serious money moves. So take control of your finances by using a Chime checking account

I love hosting on Airbnb. It's a great way to bring in some extra cash,
but I totally get it that it might sound overwhelming to start or even too
complicated if, say, you want to put your summer home in Maine on Airbnb, but you live full time
in San Francisco and you can't go to Maine every time you need to change sheets for your guests
or something like that. If thoughts like these have been holding you back, I have great news for
you. Airbnb has launched a co-host network, which is a network of high quality local co-hosts with
Airbnb experience that can take care
of your home and your guests. Co-hosts can do what you don't have time for, like managing your
reservations, messaging your guests, giving support at the property, or even create your
listing for you. I always want to line up a reservation for my house when I'm traveling for
work, but sometimes I just don't get around to it because getting ready to travel always feels like
a scramble, so I don't end up making time to make my house look guest-friendly. I guess that's the best way to put it. But I'm
matching with a co-host so I can still make that extra cash while also making it easy on myself.
Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. Hey guys, are you ready for some money rehab?
Wall Street has been completely upended by an unlikely player, GameStop.
And should I have a 401k?
You don't do it?
No, I never have.
You think the whole world revolves around you and your money.
Well, it doesn't.
Charge for wasting our time.
I will take a check.
Like an old school check.
You recognize her from anchoring on CNN, CNBC, and Bloomberg.
The only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.
Nicole Lappin.
As you know by now, every Friday we talk to a public figure making change in every sense of the word.
And along the way has been in, or might still be, in money rehab.
Today we're talking to Jim Quick, who is an expert on making
your mind work for you. He coaches CEOs and celebrities on increasing their learning skills
and memory. Today, we talk all about strategies to use your brainpower to level up at work.
So before we dive in, we start with a quick round of money rehab, Never have I ever. So have you played? Never have I ever
drinking game? Yeah. Yeah. Not recently. So basically, if you have done something,
unfortunately, I don't have shots for us over Zoom, but just say I have. And if you haven't,
just say I haven't. Ready? Okay, let's do this.
Never have I ever taken out a student loan.
I have not.
Never have I ever lost my credit card.
I have not.
Never have I ever maxed out a credit card.
I have.
Never have I ever fundraised for a charity.
I have. Many.
Never have I ever negotiated a contract.
I have done that many times.
Never have I ever pitched an investor.
I have not.
We've never accepted investor capital.
Like a boss.
Never have I ever argued with a family member over money.
Yeah, maybe once or twice.
Never have I ever started a business.
Yeah, I have started a business. Yeah, I have started a business.
Teach me how not to lose a credit card.
Because I'm constantly leaving mine everywhere.
Yeah, I think if any of your listeners have ever felt absent-minded,
like senior moments are coming too early,
you read a page in a
book forget what you just read you're in the shower you can't remember you shampooed your hair
you misplaced things your wallet your purse your cell phone your car keys something larger like
your car you see the people in the mall in the parking lot using their car alarm like gps trying
to figure out where they parked their car and they realized they took lift earlier that day
you know a big part of misplacing things i think you know we waste a lot of time looking for trying to figure out where they parked their car and they realized they took lift earlier that day. You know,
a big part of misplacing things, I think, you know,
we waste a lot of time looking for things is the art of memories,
the art of attention, right.
And bringing mindfulness into the things that we do. And we,
in Limitless, I talk about habits and designing habits.
And really it's all around emotion that, you know, if you reward the times when you do remember something,
like you celebrate, you do your move or you say yes,
or victory the times that you do remember things,
you tend to reinforce those things.
I mean, one of the best ways of doing things is always having a place.
Everything has a place, right?
Then you don't have to use up a lot of your mental energy
to try to keep track of everything,
you know, where you put things,
where you put your phone, your keys,
and, you know, every time you use your credit card,
always putting it back.
So, I mean, memory is a muscle.
There's no such thing as a good or bad memory.
There's a trained memory and untrained memory.
And a lot of us, you know,
our memory muscles are a little flabby
because we don't use it as much.
That's not the only muscle of mine
that is flabby post the COVID. So can you teach me how to, because that seems less exhausting than cardio,
but maybe not. Can you teach me how to improve my muscle memory?
Yeah, absolutely. So here's the thing. About one third of our memory is predetermined by
genetics and biology, but two thirds is in our control. So there's many things you can do to move the needle. And I believed in life and certainly
in our careers, two of the most costly words in business, I forgot. I forgot to do it. I forgot
to bring it. I forgot where I put it. I forgot that conversation. I forgot what I was going to
say. I forgot that meaning. I forgot that person's name. Every single time we say these words,
we lose trust.
We could lose her relationship.
We could lose time, credibility, a sale.
I can't tell you how many people have lost sales by calling somebody by the wrong name
or not be able to have product information or client information at their mental fingertips.
So there are a lot of things we could do.
I always tell people, remember, MOM, first of, just it's like the mother of all memory skills. If you, let's say
you have trouble remembering someone's name, but let's say everybody who's listening, and I imagine
people, it's a short-term issue. You meet somebody, you get their name, name just disappears out of
your mind. And it's really hard. You know, I think it's the number one business etiquette
networking skill there is. How are you going to show somebody you're going to care for their
finances, their their future their family
their health wellness whatever you have to offer them if you don't care enough just remember them
um you know but let's say you have trouble remembering names but nicole has a suitcase
of uh 10 million dollars cash for you or your favorite charity if you just remember the name
of the next stranger you meet who's going to remember that person's name? All your listeners will. All of a sudden,
everyone's a memory expert. And what technique did they use? They didn't use any technique.
So it had nothing to do with their capabilities. It had everything to do with the M and the first
M in MOM, which stands for motivation. Understanding our motives for taking action.
I believe that reasons reap results, just like in doing the
things that you teach in your books, you know, and your courses that if people don't have a reason,
they won't get the results. They won't follow through. They'll procrastinate. They'll put
things off. So just a simple thing, like asking yourself, why do I want to remember this? Like,
let's say it's a name. Why do I want to remember this person's name? Maybe it's to show a person
respect. Maybe it's to do some networking. Maybe it's to get a referral.
Maybe it's to make a sale.
Maybe it's to practice these things.
You know, I listened, I heard on this podcast.
If you can't come up with one reason,
you won't get the result.
The O in MOM stands for observation.
A lot of people, they-
Okay, I already forgot what the first M was.
This is terrible.
I failed.
I've kicked off my own podcast.
So this is memory rehab here.
So what we're going to do is we're going to, the M stands for motivation.
What is your motivation?
Oh, yeah, yes, yes.
So all of learning comes down to our motivation.
So we have control over that.
But I would say the O in MOM stands for observation.
A lot of times we're not forgetting something.
We're just not paying attention.
The art of memory is the art of attention.
So let's say, even if it's like,
remember someone's name,
a lot of people, they're not listening.
They're thinking about how they're going to respond.
They're waiting for their turn to speak
and they're talking to themselves.
And even if people just imagine the word listen
in their mind or write down the word listen,
just as a brain exercise, scramble the letters.
What word does it spell perfectly? It spells the word listen, just as a brain exercise, scramble the letters. What word does it spell perfectly?
It spells the word silent,
which is kind of interesting,
like a little mnemonic device,
but just being silent.
We can remember things
if we're present with somebody.
I think the people who we admire,
who have an incredible memory
or even a powerful presence with people,
it comes from being powerfully present with people. But most people, they're just not there. And so I think it's so important.
And the last M, motivation observation, are the methods. The things that we have in our podcast,
that we write about in our books and courses and stuff like that. There are strategies that there's
memory. It's not something you have. It's something that you do. And there's always a
method behind what looks like magic. Just like with, with our personal finances. If people are successful
in certain areas, there's genius leaves clues there. It's not my magic. There's no magic pill,
but there's definitely a magic process. Okay. Motivation, observation and methods.
Mom. Well, the, the second one, the, the silence, I always thought, I learned this from my ex who told his
daughter, you have two ears and one mouth, so listen more than you talk, which is essentially
the same type of philosophy. Yeah, I think it's important because sometimes we have that inner
voice that's just kind of distracts us. You know, a big part of what we do in training is teaching
people how to have focus and concentration in a world full of distractions and a world full of rings and pings and dings and
app notifications, social media alerts, you know, and it's challenging. How do you maintain your
focus and your flow when you're working remotely? How do you be able to support your family or
children, you know, with their life and their learning learning if there's just always things going on and
distraction is a muscle so is focus and whatever we're doing repeatedly we get better at and so
if we're always like distracting ourselves we wonder later on why we can't focus when we're
on a zoom and we're suffering from you know the screen fatigue you know and we can't listen to
a conversation our mind wanders but um if we do things to train our focus, little things, just bring mindfulness to simple things like brushing our teeth or eating a meal, you know, and just are going for a walk and just being present, that will show up in other areas, because how we do anything is how we do everything.
started looking into mindfulness, that's actually how I started with brushing my teeth and like,
feeling the bristles and trying not to think of my to do list or what I was going to eat for dinner or all the things. How do you wake up? What's your morning routine? What do you feed
yourself and your brain? This is a very popular subject we talked about in the book where we
in our podcast, and if you want to win the day, you have to win that first hour of the day.
You know, and so for me, this starts the night before getting good night's sleep.
And it's, and we know that, but it's, you know, how many people are actually prioritizing
their sleep, especially with everything that's going on, you know, but if you don't sleep,
how's your ability to do your job the next day, you know, to be able to make good decisions,
your focus, um, your ability to solve problems.
Right.
And so we, we talk a lot about tactics to be able to
maximize your sleep. But the first thing I do in the morning, I remember my dreams.
I have a dream journal right by my bed. I just take 60 seconds. I just write down some of the
highlights because there's gold in there. I don't know about you, Nicole, but our brains,
they don't shut off at night. If anything, they're more active. And they're just, when you're working
all day or studying all day, it actually comes up with ideas
and you're integrating short to long-term memory.
You're cleaning out plaque
that leads to brain aging challenges
and you're dreaming some amazing things.
But most people don't remember.
For example, Paul McCartney came up with a song yesterday
in his dream.
You know, Mary Shelley came up with the idea
for Frankenstein in her dream.
A chemist created the periodic table in his dream.
So what are we dreaming about?
So I write down my dreams.
Next thing I'll do is I'll get out of bed.
I'll just make my bed.
And what does that have to do with your brain?
Your brain loves a clean environment.
It really does.
It takes two minutes to do it.
Plus, excellence is a habit.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
So take two minutes and just make that bed.
And how good does it feel to come back to a well-made bed? Or if you're in a hotel,
you come back to a well-made bed. It just gives you that joy, which we can never have too little
of. I'll hydrate. I'll have a glass of water I'll put there the night before. And when I wake up,
I'll drink that because we can lose up to a pound of water at night through respiration and
perspiration. And just staying hydrated, Think about your money. It will boost your reaction time and thinking speed upwards of
30%, just staying hydrated throughout the day. And so hydrate, I'll also take my probiotics
because your God is your second brain. And then I'll actually exercise. And this is not my full
workout routine, but they did a study. It was at Appalachian state university. When's the best time
to exercise for weight management and deeper sleep. They test people in the morning, afternoon, and evening 7.00 AM,
1.00 PM and 7.00 PM. I said 7.00 AM and it doesn't have to be your full workout. It could be just
three minutes. And so, um, you do that. And those who did that got upwards of 70% deeper sleep,
70% deeper sleep, just working out, getting your heart going in the morning.
It's very important also for everybody to get some sunlight first thing in the morning
because you have these circadian rhythms. And one of the best ways of getting a good night's sleep
is to see sunlight first thing in the morning, not through your windows, but if you can go outside
for five or 10 minutes or go for a brisk walk, It takes time, but it also makes time back in productivity.
Hold on to your wallets, boys and girls. Money Rehab will be right back.

I love hosting on Airbnb. It's a great way to bring in some extra cash.
But I totally get it that it might sound overwhelming to start, or even too complicated,

rehab. So you became homies with Oprah and Elon, Will Smith and many others. You bonded over books,
but then you guys worked together. Can you tell us some of the common issues that
celebrities and CEOs come to
you with and what advice you give them? Yeah, with actors, I get to help them to
speed read scripts, to be able to memorize their lines, to be able to present them confidently on
camera, and to have better focus. And, you know, like, there's a story i put in limitless where
and i mentioned we have 60 000 thoughts a day and a lot of those thoughts come in the form of
questions and i remember i was with will and he was shooting a superhero movie uh in the dead of
winter and it was a night shoot and we had spent the day going over something i call the dominant
question like the question we asked more than any other question. For some people, it might be, how do I get people to like me? Which you could know a lot about a
person's life or their personality based on that question, because that directs their focus, right?
They're a martyr, people take advantage of it, they're a sycophant, their personality changes
depending on who they're spending time with. Well, my dominant question growing up as a kid
was, how do I become invisible? Because I had this brain injury. I didn't want to be seen. I didn't have the answers from teachers. I would sit behind a tall kid. I would
sit all in the back. Um, later on it became, how do I make this better? Cause I wanted to fix my
broken brain. And I started getting answer, answer answers. Well, his dominant question
wills is how do I make this moment even more magical? How do I make this moment even more magical? And then I remember that
night, it was two o'clock, and we're shooting, it's freezing outside. And his family's there
from West Philly, you know, you know the song, and I'm there and we're shivering. And during the break,
he makes hot chocolate for all of us, even though there's a crew that could do that, right? He
brings us all blankets, he starts cracking jokes. He starts telling stories. And I realized that he's living his dominant question.
How do I make this moment even more magical? And it's interesting because I believe the life we
live are the lessons we teach. The life we live are the lessons we teach other people.
And to know what your dominant question is. And so I don't know if intuitively you know what
that question is because a lot of times it's unconscious, but your dominant question is. And so I don't know if intuitively you know what that question is, because a lot of times
it's unconscious, you know, but that dominant question directs our focus and those focus
determines how we feel and how we feel determines what we're going to do, right?
You know, like questions you could ask are things like, you know, how do I get the most
out of this moment, right?
And like another question is when they're learning, how can I use this?
Why must I use this?
When will I use this? Why must I use this?
When will I use this?
I think the most powerful productivity performance tool we have is our calendar.
But most people schedule investor meetings, job interviews, meetings with a parent, teacher,
whatever.
But they don't schedule their own growth, the things that they need to do.
And it always comes last.
And a lot of people are out there taking care of everybody else.
And they put themselves last. And you lot of people are out there taking care of everybody else and they put themselves last. And, you know, you talk about putting, putting on your,
your mask first, you know, part of self-care is not only what you eat and going to the spa,
part of self-care is realizing when you say yes to somebody or something, you're not saying no to yourself, right? You need to become this empty vessel that you always, you know, that you need to
be able to take care of. And I think that's part of the money. I think it's part of memory. I think it's part of our life.
How much correlation do you feel is with money and memory? How much of bad financial habits
can be attributed to, well, I think a lot to bad mindset, but what about to
memory that hasn't been worked on? I think a big part is memory. I think a lot of it has to do with
memories we have as children with money, you know, and that, that, that it was encoded and stored.
And when we retrieve it, every time we're triggered by a commercial or by something,
a friend, you know, says, or somebody's advancing somewhere, it pulls up all these memories. And a
lot of those memories come up as emotions, you know what I mean? It's not even like a visual,
maybe they, maybe you picture them,
but a lot of these things we don't have like conscious recollection of, but it's just,
we have this angst around money because of something that, you know, our parents fought
about when we were kids. And it's just a feeling, you know, Maya Angelou said, you know,
one amazing poet, she said, people will forget what you say, they'll forget what you did,
but they'll always remember how you made them feel.
Right.
So I think a part of money is a feeling that we have around it. And those feelings are tied in our nervous system in the form of memories, you know,
and then the good thing is we could create new memories at any given time, right?
We could celebrate small wins with tiny little steps that we take that whenever you remember
to do something or you do something good for your
personal wealth, then you could sell, take a moment to celebrate. Like when do people actually
take a moment to, they're so good at nitpicking the things that they do bad and tearing themselves
apart and not giving themselves credit at all for when things go well, but even rewarding yourself.
So even if you say, you know, I want to work out, you know, sometimes too big, but maybe you put on
your running shoes and just, just reward yourself for doing something a little like say, you know, I want to work out, you know, sometimes too big, but maybe you put on your running shoes and just reward yourself for doing something a little like
that, you know, this is a lot of victory or something silly, right?
But all of a sudden you start having a positive association around the things that you should
do.
Because as you mentioned, you know, like about knowledge, it's not power, right?
Common sense is not common practice.
A lot of people know what to do, but they don't do what they know, you know?
And I think that if we understand how our memory works, we could work our memory.
Just like if you understand how your brain works, you could work your brain.
If you understand how money works, you could work that better or a lot better also.
And when I wanted to know what was possible with memory and money, I was expecting you to teach me how to memorize numbers.
to teach me how to memorize numbers. But you actually hit on something that potentially can get into people's way or trip folks up more than the numbers because the numbers like a fifth
grader can do when it comes to your money. It's all the humanities stuff. It's all the
interpersonal stuff that fucks people up the most. And, and recently I had this experience where
living with my boyfriend, he was like, you always leave the lights on. Like,
why do you leave the lights on all the time? Like just turn the lights off. And I was like,
well, you know what? It all of a sudden hit me. I had to turn the lights off when I left your room
because otherwise we couldn't afford to pay the bills growing up. And I was told that you can't
flush the toilet to save on water unless that's number two. And all of a sudden, like I am a
grown ass woman. I mean, kind of. I have a bunch of finance books. I have a bunch more on the way.
I have a whole show about money. I know all the things about money. And this like weird memory
that I kind of like smushed away all of a sudden came up and like threw a wrench
in it all. That's wild. And the good news is right now that, that our past, you know,
the expectations of others, you know, our experiences, our external environment shape
who we are today, you know, but I think it's important to remember for everybody that we are
a hundred percent responsible for who we are today, you know, and who we're becoming for,
for tomorrow. And I think a big, like if I was, I get this question, like are today, you know, and who we're becoming for tomorrow.
And I think a big, like, if I was, I get this question, like, if you could, you know, that nine-year-old boy who was just, you know, felt like he was broken, what would you say
to them?
And I would, besides saying that, you know, you're enough and this story will get better,
it would be that, you know, you are 100% responsible for your life.
You know, I talk a lot about superheroes, um, things I splurge on. I don't, I don't splurge on a lot of things, but I,
like I have a 10 foot Hulk in my backyard, you know, I, cause I, I wanted to relive my childhood.
So I do that every day reading. I taught myself how to read by reading comic books late at night.
Cause I took me three years longer to read with my brain injury, you know, but I had this,
this real connection to superheroes. And I remember I got to introduce two of my modern day superheroes together. It was Richard
Branson and Stan Lee and the late Stan Lee. And we were in the car and I asked Stan, you know,
you create all these superheroes, who's your favorite? And he says, Jim, it's Iron Man.
And I was like, he's like, Jim, who's your favorite superhero? And he had this Spider-Man tie. I said, Spider-Man. And when I said Spider-Man, without a pause, he goes, with great power comes great responsibility, right? In his iconic voice.
And I, maybe because I had three traumatic brain injuries before the age of 12, I tend sometimes when I read to reverse things or hear, I change things around. And I was like, Stan, you're right. With great power comes great responsibility. And the opposite is also true. With great
responsibility comes great power. And when we take responsibility for something, like we own it,
we have great power to make things better. And sometimes we all have the habit of complaining
to blaming, to making excuses. And the truth is we can't be upset by the results
that we didn't get from the work we didn't do. Right. When we blame and we make excuses,
it does us a disservice because it wastes an immense amount of time and energy that could
be put towards something more, more fruitful. Right. And so I would just, I have this,
people can't see this here, but on the top of my office I have a a portrait I got from Stanley it's completely made out of candy and he gave it to me and it's
just his he was a big kid and um but I just I have it there because it reminds me of that
you know for responsibility I love that um I love all of your acronyms and I hope I remembered. I'm like the mom one, the old one.
I love them all. The three M's. Can I challenge everybody to do some one thing to listen?
Yes. Yeah. I think we mentioned that knowledge is not power. It only has potential power that
you have to act and take one small, simple step. I would challenge everybody. I believe the fastest
way to learn something is to teach it to somebody else.
You know, that when you teach something,
you get to learn it twice.
They call it the explanation effect.
When you learn something with the goal
of explaining it to somebody,
if you had to give a TEDx talk next Monday
about what you learned on this podcast,
would you pay attention differently?
Would you take notes?
Would you ask more questions on social media?
And one of the ways you could do it, everybody,
I challenge you to take this one small, simple step
is to screenshot, whatever, whatever your list, whatever platform
you're consuming this on right now, and tag Nicole, tag myself and post it and post one thing
that you're going to do to have a better brain or one thing that you learned during this, you know,
this conversation, you know, I believe a big part of what we're doing is transcending, you know,
it's about ending the trance. It's about ending this massive gnosis,
sometimes in marketing or media or self hypnosis from ourselves that says we're not enough that
we're not smart enough, good enough, worth it. And so what's one idea you've taken from this
conversation, post it on social media, tag us. So we get to see it. I'll, I'll repost it and
share some of my favorites and I'll actually gift a copy of my
book Limitless to three of your listeners just as a thank you for playing with us.
Yay! I love a good challenge. For today's tip, you can take straight to the bank.
When networking, use a mnemonic device to remember someone's name or a fact they share
about themselves. When you reach out to them next, drop that little memory nugget
into the conversation. They'll be so impressed because people will remember you if you remember
them first.
