What is the most powerful way of learning something? How can you engage your brain fully into a topic, tie it into your own experiences, and look at it from lots of different angles?

This is the topic of today's episode. We have now done one year of podcasting and we will talk about the most important thing we have learned - how to learn, a very powerful method for learning. -- Today's episode is a personal development episode, where Erik and Emil explore topics about how to grow as a person.

We are both personal development junkies and spend many hours every week sharing our ideas and reading about new things. This episode is great for you who want to learn about our latest perspective. We share lots of personal stories, talk about how it applies in our lives, and where we have learned it from. -- We are starting this episode with Erik talking about how he has spent the last 3-4 years dedicated to learning about social media, personal development, leadership, and social skills.

At first, he was very focused on consuming as much knowledge as possible but it was first when he started teaching what he had learned on Instagram that things shifted. He got to embody the concepts and found that some of them he believed in and some of them made him feel like a fraud.

We keep exploring why teaching is a very powerful method for learning, how it engages our body and our emotions, and why everything you have been teaching will be easier for you to remember.

We sum up this episode with various ways of teaching, what you can do if you don't want to put yourself out there as a teacher in public or on social media but still benefit from this technique and what are the important things to get started.
