I read a lot of books (200+ each year), and I'm often asked for recommendations.

I had the privilege of sitting down with my friend Christine Soule, whose incredible life story will fill you with hope. Her story is a testimony that even the darkest moments can lead to the brightest futures. From a childhood surrounded by dysfunction to being trafficked as a young mother of three, Christine's story of transformation is nothing short of remarkable.During our conversation, she shares the turning points that led her from her lowest point to founding Providence Heights, a nonprofit that's launched 14 businesses and helped countless women discover their worth and potential.Whether you're facing your own struggles or leading others through theirs, Christine's insights give us practical wisdom for own journeys.

We've reached the finale of our Learn How To Learn series. I've invited my friend Jonathan Crabb to discuss what might be the ultimate learning accelerant: learning together.You've built your personal learning system, mastered the fundamentals, and maybe even implemented some multipliers along the way. But what happens when you add another mind to the equation? It's not just addition -- it's transformation.Through stories of our reading retreats, peer discussions, and our unique "thinking partnership," Jonathan and I reveal how learning relationships can break through your perceived ceiling. And you can apply these same strategies and insights to your learning journey too. The right learning partner doesn't just help you grow faster. They help you grow in directions you'd never discover alone.As we close this series, discover why the journey from student to peer might be the most powerful learning path of all.---You can connect with Jonathan on Twitter at: @JonathanBCrabb ---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

As we near the end of my Learn How to Learn Deep Dive, I'm revealing powerful multipliers that can accelerate your learning journey. By now, you might already have a steady learning system in place. But even the best learning systems can begin to get stale or stagnate. Consider the strategies discussed in this episode as your "oil changes," or strategies to add on top of your foundational base. Your ceiling might be higher than you think. Add these multipliers on top of your foundational base, and watch yourself overcome setbacks, reach goals faster, and skyrocket to new heights.---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

Picking back up with the tenth installment of my Learn How to Learn Deep Dive, I'm revealing something counterintuitive: the key to learning isn't just about putting in more hours -- it's about mastering the rhythms of learning.The most successful learners don't just push harder -- they understand when to shift gears. It's about ebb and flow, imitating the rhythms we see in nature all around us. Drawing from my own journey learning Spanish, I demonstrate how small, consistent actions combined with strategic breaks can lead to remarkable growth. It's time to work with your natural rhythms, not against them.---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

I read a lot of books (200+ each year), and I'm often asked for recommendations. Out of the many books from last year, there were 12 non-fiction books that I gave a 5 star rating. In this episode, I share why Decoding Greatness by Ron Friedman stands out among these exceptional reads.Ask a legend in sports, business, or art about how they achieved their success, and you'd likely find a wealth of knowledge about their strategies, mindsets, and daily practices. If you want to be great in any category, you have to learn. Continuing our exploration of how to learn effectively, Decoding Greatness by Ron Friedman offers invaluable insights that build on everything we've discussed in our "Learn How to Learn" series. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. When going through your learning journey, always remember: you don't have to learn alone. You can learn from the greats. You can learn how *they* learned.Decoding Greatness -- How the Best in the World Reverse Engineer Success:       https://amzn.to/3n8W9EYP.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

In this 9th installment of my Learn How to Learn Deep Dive, I'm tackling one of the most critical elements of growth: Feedback. Without good feedback, you could be reinforcing the wrong habits or working on the wrong things entirely.Through personal stories (from my early days in theater to my current practice of getting feedback from my wife), I share my journey of how honest feedback changed my rate of growth. You'll learn specific techniques for getting honest feedback, including an email template I use that you can request. Feel free to reach out to me at scott@swozconsulting.com if you'd like a copy of this feedback template. ---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

Our Learn How to Learn Deep Dive is almost complete. In the eighth installment, I'm revealing why your growth rate is determined by your amount of practice. It's common to passively wait for learning opportunities to happen to us, or only learn our lesson when we've already screwed up. But through my own journey (from learning Spanish to controlling my legendary sweet tooth), I'll show you how to design your own practice sessions for any skill you want to develop. And with these strategies in place, your "bad days" don't just have to be bad days -- they can become "good data."It's time to stop being a victim of circumstance and start putting yourself in the drivers seat of your own growth journey.---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

In the seventh installment of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive, we're exploring what might be the most important -- and most overlooked -- aspect of learning: the role of feelings and beliefs in your growth journey.Most people think learning is just about acquiring new information or skills. But what if your feelings and beliefs are setting the ceiling for how much you can grow? Through personal stories of both success and setbacks, I explain why the technical "how-to" often isn't what's holding us back -- it's our emotional readiness for change.I share my own journey of working on my heart first, which ultimately led to faster external growth than those who focused only on skills.It's time to look deeper than just acquiring new information. Let's explore how cultivating a healthy heart might be the key to unlocking your learning potential.---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

For the sixth installment of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive, we're tackling a counterintuitive truth: sometimes the key to growth isn't what you learn, but what you unlearn.Western thinking often focuses on addition and accumulation. But subtraction might actually be the missing piece in your growth journey. From outdated coping mechanisms to limiting self-beliefs, learn how to identify what's no longer serving you. Most importantly, discover why being wrong feels exactly like being right -- and how this insight can transform your approach to personal growth. You'll hear all about how I had to learn these truths the hard way, and it wasn't always easy. If you can apply these principles now, the faster you'll be able to skyrocket your learning and personal growth.It's time to embrace unlearning as a crucial part of your learning journey.---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind.

It's the final episode of my "Learn How to Learn" Deep Dive. In a world of constant distractions and shrinking attention spans, how do you create the environment for true deep thinking?I share surprising tactical tips that have transformed my ability to process deeply -- from the unexpected power of paper over digital, to the scientific reason you should take a power nap. Even though I gravitate towards action and excitement, my quiet times of peace and solitude are essential for my mental wellbeing. You'll discover why NASA requires astronauts to nap, why being near water matters more than you think, and how to handle the inevitable distractions that try to derail your thinking time.These aren't just productivity hacks -- they're scientifically-backed strategies for creating the physical and mental space needed for breakthrough insights.

This episode kicks off my new Deep Dive series on "Learning How to Learn." This has been my most requested topic, and I wanted to share with you all of the lessons I've learned along the way. As a lifelong learner, I certainly don't think I've "arrived." But by sharing with you all of the mistakes, triumphs, and crucial lessons I've learned along the way, I believe this series can provide a significant impact in your own learning journey.In this episode, I bust some common myths about learning and challenge the assumptions many of us picked up in school. Too often, both positive performance and negative performance in school can place limiting beliefs on our abilities to learn as adults. Leading research has shown just how neuroplastic our brains can be as adults -- but it's all dependent on the core beliefs we have around learning. I'll explain why a growth mindset is crucial and how learning is about so much more than academics. Whether you're 25 or 65, this episode will change how you think about your ability to learn and grow. Get ready to unlock your potential.---P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, then Legendary Brands Academy was made with you in mind. The online program will teach you the same exact systems and strategies we've been using to transform brands for the past 20 years. No more wishing things could be different -- no more theorizing without action -- no more saying "that's for other brands, but not for me." With Legendary Brands Academy, everything is designed for you to take action and see transformation in real time. You'll learn the step-by-step systems you can begin to implement today.

In this episode, I have both exciting news, and a honest reflection on something I have learned this year.The exciting news is that after many months of hard work, my team at Swoz Consulting has released Legendary Brands Academy! (LegendaryBrandsAcademy.com) This online program contains all of the proven strategies I have used to revolutionize multiple industry-leading brands, from household names, to local mom-and-pops. It's not just theories. It's a specific step-by-step system that is designed to transform your brand from the ground-up and create diehard Raving Fans. It's over 20 years of wisdom from being on the front lines of legendary brands, all at the click of a mouse.However, this isn't just a celebratory episode. I also want to talk about one area that I am focusing on improving this year. I confess that I have not always been as focused as I could be on effective distribution strategies. I was always taught that quality is important -- and it is! But your quality can only go as far as your distribution. During the creation of Legendary Brands Academy, I developed a new formula for understanding the relationship between the quality of your product and the distribution of your product: Quality x Distribution = The Size of Your Impact. If your quality is a 10 but your distribution is 0, then 10 x 0 = 0 impact. I want to talk about how to navigate the world of balancing quality and distribution, an area that I am striving to improve this year!P.S.: If you have a brand, and you want to learn exactly how to transform it into a game-changer in your industry, you can check out Legendary Brands Academy here!: www.LegendaryBrandsAcademy.com---Sign up to have Scott email you a weekly shot of energy, with 1 Cool Quote, 1 Deep Thought, and 1 Useful Tool.
