“Every brilliant idea is the answer to a problem” -Jonathan Levi

He has created some of the most popular courses on the internet. After listening to his peer MBA students remark about how much they wanted to know what he had learned about memory and learning, the Become a SuperLearner course was born. Over 40,000 people have since enrolled in his courses.

He moved to Tel Aviv, Israel (second only to silicon valley in innovation) to learn how the venture capital world works. He continues to run multiple different brands and businesses.

Jonathan Levi is an entrepreneur, investor, lifehacker, speed reader, and online course creator.

It takes a special individual to be able to teach what one has learned, and Jonathan has that talent. He translated what he learned about learning and reading into his Udemy course, and then translated that course into his popular book, Become a SuperLearner.

If you want to learn about Jonathan’s favorite methods for learning and productivity (and what he uses the most), this is the episode for you!
