Tackling One Learning Challenge After The Other W/ Max Hertan
- Or listen in:
Greetings, SuperFriends!
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!

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! 🙂
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldn’t make out the doctor’s name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
Thank you.
Maybe oarts of the things he has to share are right, maybe not. If I look at him which impact his nurturing and living style has on himself I see a very old looking man! He is year 1973!! That is not old and he looks definitly much older!! If I would not know his birthyear I would guess that he is in his mid-60ies!! A bit concering for someone who claims his lifestyle is suitable for a long life, isn’t it?
