Today we are joined by Max Hertan, a serial learner.

Basically, here's his story. Max built up an award-winning 7-figure digital marketing agency, Megaphone, and started investing in startups, but, along the way, he, like me, started wondering “Hey, what do I get to learn and how do I get to learn new things as a grown-up adult?”.

So, he started a new YouTube channel, “Max Hertan”,  where he tackles a new challenge every month from learning backflips, salsa dancing, skateboarding, meditation, bodybuilding and much more! Right now he is working on learning Spanish in 1 month.

We talked, we connected, we shared notes, and we started to understand what he has learned by learning and learning how to learn.

I think my big takeaway from this episode was really just the value, the inherent value, of learning for learning's sake. But, as you'll find out, Max also has some really interesting points to share about how you can become a better learner.

I'm sure you are going to enjoy this episode!
