In today's episode of the Brains Byte Back podcast, we speak with ⁠Mark Herschberg⁠, Creator of ⁠Brain Bump⁠, an app that helps you retain what you read and hear, and an MIT Instructor. To kick off the show, Sam opens up about how he was interested in Herschberg's initial message to him, where he advocated that “we invest time reading and listening but it's inefficient. This is because where we read information isn't where we need information.” On this topic, Herschberg explains in greater detail how there is a learning disconnect that often occurs when people consume information in one context but need to apply it in another.  He then goes on to highlight the challenge of remembering valuable information from books or podcasts when it's needed most.  To address this issue, Herschberg created Brain Bump, an app that provides just-in-time information access. It condenses key ideas from books, blogs, podcasts, classes, and talks into concise tip cards.  Users can easily search for specific content tags, making it convenient to retrieve relevant information when needed. The app also sends daily notifications at a user's preferred time, serving as a reminder of key concepts. Herschberg also goes on to clarify the difference between Brain Bump and book summary apps like Blinkist, advocating that while Blinkist offers simplified summaries of books, Brain Bump aims to complement various types of content, helping users better retain the information they have already consumed. Additionally, for the content creators in the audience, Herschberg shares tips on how you can produce work that sticks in the memories of your audience.  And finally, Herschberg talks about one of his latest articles “ChatGPT is Just a Calculator . . . Crossed with a Nuclear Reactor” and shares his predictions of what we can see develop from this technology, alongside what technology currently excites him. Links

•  Entrepreneur and author has a toolkit to fix that •  “These skills are learnable”   (Total Recorded Time is 18:14)  So you've spent four to six years in college getting your degree.  But while it may have opened a door or two to entry-level jobs, now you realize it is not the ticket to career success that you thought.  Enter Mark Herschberg, an entrepreneur and author of the book, “The Career Toolkit,” (Cognosco Media LLC, January 2021).  It has the subtitle “Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.”  “These skills are learnable.  We don't always think that way,” he says.  “You may not be a natural leader, a natural networker, but if you put in a little effort, you will get good at it.” He's the guest in this edition of Bizgnus Interviews.  Mr. Herschberg is founder of Cognosco Media LLC, which has a new patent pending content distribution platform. It markets an app it calls the “Brain Bump” – not a bump from a whack on the head but as a way to remember content one has read, watched or listened to.  With more than a dozen patents to his name, he has been teaching at MIT's Career Success Accelerator for 20 years in addition to building multiple startup companies as a CTO.  For more information: https://www.thecareertoolkitbook.com

And he's here to tell us a bit more about the problem, his research, and his several solutions. - - - [5:01] - “My writing process was a little chaotic — it was just a jumble of notes. But as it grew…” [8:14] - “Most nonfiction books are way too long. It's one idea that's about 40 pages, and then you beat it to death for another 150.” [11:39] - “The book is one part of a larger strategy for your business.” [16:44] - “The fundamental problem (with books) is that where you READ information isn't where you NEED information. … So how do we connect the two?” [19:12] - “Brain Bump is a cross between a book summary app, a flashcard app, and a daily affirmation app.” [23:18] - “This is PULL media, (not PUSH media). We are letting users PULL to them what's most relevant. It creates a better connection. And that builds your brand.” - - - You can follow along on Mark's mission(s) here: -If curious about the book: thecareertoolkit.com -If curious about the Brain Bump app: brainbumpapp.com -If interested in the future of media: Cognoscomedia.com

We have many responsibilities as leaders. One of the most important responsibilities is keeping an eye on the financials. From monitoring project budgets to reviewing income statements, we know that everything in business comes with a cost, especially when the goal is to add value. Imagine what our organizations could achieve if every individual at every level was taught to think about the value they add and how it contributes to the bottom line. This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Herschberg, a professor at MIT, author of The Career Toolkit, and creator of the Brain Bump app, about why we should intentionally instruct our teams about the business. From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name.

Episode 85. “Collecting business cards isn't networking. I tell people, getting someone's card or adding someone on LinkedIn and saying they're in your network, that's like swiping right on a dating app and saying, this person is now your significant other.”From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark Herschberg has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name. Mark helped start the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, dubbed MIT's “career success accelerator,”  is the author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You as well as the creator of the Brain Bump app. This conversation runs the gamut, from networking to ethics to leadership:“… every time I meet someone, I think “Nice to meet you. What can I do to help?” Now, I'm not gonna show up and move your couch, but maybe there's other ways I can help you. And that is relationship building. You don't keep score with your friends, you don't keep score with your network.” “Leadership is about stepping up and getting people to follow you, but the good news is you can practice and develop these skills long before you have that title…”“I always get the sense ‘ethics,' it's the redheaded stepchild. Ethics is, “Well, after we have everything else, our profitability, our leadership and everything else. . . if we have time… we'll get to ethics…”For more information about Mark and to purchase his book, The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You, visit: https://www.thecareertoolkitbook.com/To learn more about his Brain Bump app, go to: https://brainbumpapp.com/What came up for you as a result of this conversation?  Let Linda know by going to Normal-Lies.com and leave a review.  Linda reads every one and every month, she chooses one review to read on air.  Who knows, she may choose yours!If you have a question or a topic you'd like addressed on an upcoming episode, go to Normal-Lies.com and click the contact page to send Linda a message.

When did you learn important career-building skills like networking, finding mentors, interviewing, and finding great work opportunities? Most people didn't learn these skills in college or high school. We learned them when we had to - when we were searching for our first jobs or starting our first businesses. MIT alum and teacher Mark A. Herschberg saw this gap and decided to create a solution. His career success accelerator class teaches students the basic skills they need to navigate and prepare for building the careers they want. Recognizing a similar gap in the thousands of available career-oriented books, Herschberg wrote The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. (Available here: https://amzn.to/3wOe45B Associates Link) He is also the creator of the Brain Bump app - a context-sensitive content collection and dissemination tool that helps people organize the content they want at their fingertips and easily access and share it. From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name. He helped to start the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, dubbed MIT's "career success accelerator," where he teaches annually.

"Where you read information isn't where you need information."  - Mark Herschberg Do you ever find yourself consuming great content, but then struggling to find it later when you actually need it? If so, today's episode is for you! MIT instructor Mark Herschberg makes a return visit to the show to discuss his innovative new platform, Brain Bump. In this episode, you'll learn: - How powerful peer learning can be for your development - Why the content we all consume is rarely accessible in critical moments - How Brain Bump only sends the tips you want, when you request them; it never sends an unrequested notification - Bonus: you don't even have to open the app!   The challenge with traditional learning When we think about most of our knowledge, it has just been direct information transfer, such as when you learn the quadratic formula. It is very black and white and you know exactly where to use it. But the skills that we use as leaders, from leading people to communication, negotiation, team building – these are not cut and dry. There's no formula for leadership. Peer learning's edge over other learning styles Peer learning is not about memorizing formulas. It's about learning subtle skills that are often circumstantial. So by coming together as a group and having discussions, like I'm going to gain your perspective and you're going to get mine… that's how we learn. Ineffective learning The problem is two-fold. First, where you read information isn't where you need information. And the second is that you read a book or listen to a podcast episode, and then you forget it. I wanted to address it.

Visit https://truemediasolutions.ca/Dave's Audio Book Recommendation for November 2022Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story - Bono Bono—artist, activist, and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2—has written a memoir: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life he's lived, the challenges he's faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. Narrated by the author, Surrender is an intimate, immersive listening experience, telling stories from Bono's early days in Dublin, to joining a band and playing sold out stadiums around the world with U2, plus his more than 20 years of activism. Throughout a remarkable life, music has always been a constant for Bono and in the audiobook, his distinctive voice is interwoven with a very personal soundtrack adding atmosphere and texture to each and every scene. From moments of classic U2 hits to snippets by The Clash, Patti Smith, Verdi, Johnny Cash and Mozart, Surrender also exclusively features clips of newly recorded re imagined versions of U2 songs including ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday', ‘With Or Without You', ‘One', ‘Beautiful Day' and more, glimpsed for the first time on Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.

As we age and gain new experiences, our brain changes and it becomes evident that we can't hold every piece of information and knowledge that we encounter at all times. More often, we only retain information that is immediately useful or relevant to our present needs. But, we also want to remember crucial information that we've read today at a time in the future when it is needed, right?   In this episode, CTPO, speaker, author, MIT instructor Mark Herschberg and I discuss this topic in more detail. As an author faced with the challenge of readers' recall and retention, Mark created an app called Brain Bump designed to help users remember information, data, and materials from books, blogs, podcasts, classes, talks, and other resources whenever they are needed. If you are in the business of investing, or in any business for that matter, you'll need access to as much information as you can to run your business efficiently and to have meaningful engagement with clients and investors. Listen until the end and you'll learn invaluable tips to protect yourself and your business from cyberattacks.   Key Points from This Episode: What makes 21st-century learning different? Why did Mark create the Brain Bump app? Why do most people not retain what they read? How does the technique of “spaced repetition” help retain information? The two ways when most people need information. Mark discusses the Brain Bump app and how it helps users access information when they need them. How can we use media channels more efficiently? Where can the Brain Bump app be downloaded? Mark talks about cybersecurity and the persistent threat of cyberattacks. Measures that companies, businesses, and individuals should take to protect against cyberattacks. Safety tips against bank fraud or wire fraud.   Tweetables: “We live in the most abundant time in human history with regard to sharing information, and sharing perspectives and thoughts.”  - Tyler Chesser   “Even when a reader reads a book, a business book, a self-help book, something with advice, say, wow, there's great advice here. And then you forget it two weeks later. You forget 90%-95% of it. That is a problem. And so there's a problem for the author and a problem for the reader.” - Mark Herschberg   “Media is traditionally linear. We listen to this episode, front to back, first to last. We read a book from first to last. We watch a TV show from start to finish. Exceptions are encyclopedias or dictionaries, you generally don't read that first page to last, you jump in, you get what you need, and you leave. More of our media will shift in this direction.” - Mark Herschberg   “By chopping up the content from an episode, from a book and putting it in this nonlinear order, we make it more relevant. It's like a "choose your own adventure" that you grab what is right for you.” - Mark Herschberg   “The teacher is who learns the most.” - Tyler Chesser   “For any company or individual, it's not a matter of “if” but “when” you run into a cybersecurity issue.” - Mark Herschberg “You will be attacked, you will be hacked.

“Leadership isn't a single thing. It's a bunch of things together,” says Mark Herschberg, the co-founder and one of the principal developers of MIT's famed Career Accelerator Program. The program teaches future tech leaders the soft skills like communication, networking and negotiating that they don't teach in school but are crucial to success. Here Mark discusses the origins of the program as well as the most important aspects of communication and how those aspects all build on each other.  Mark discusses the importance of career planning, and dismantles the myth of the 20-something founder. A major part of Mark's 20s was spent as a champion ballroom dancer, and he gives a peak into that world here.  He discusses his app Brain Bump and how it relates to the evolving way that we utilize books. He discusses what sectors on the horizon make no sense to him and which he finds terrifying.  Quotes: “I recognized I was missing those skills. I had heard of them, but I was never formally taught. I didn't think I was very good at them. So I set out to train myself. And as I did so, I realized these are not just skills for entrepreneurs, for founders, for executives, these are skills for everyone down to even your summer interns.” (15:24-15:42 | Mark) “The most popular article I've written was one called ‘Leadership Is Not Atomic.” Because what does it mean to be a good leader? What you're probably going to be good at is communication skills. As a leader, you're going to have to bring together coalitions. That's negotiation skills. You probably need to be able to connect with other people, networking skills. Leadership isn't a single thing. Leadership is a bunch of things together.” (18:06-18:34 | Mark)  “You can learn leadership, networking, negotiating, it's all the skills that we think some people are just born with. Well, people are also born natural athletes or natural musicians. But just because they're natural at it doesn't mean the rest of us can't learn it, if we put the time in.” (52:12-52:27 | Mark)  Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926    Connect with Mark Herschberg:Thecareertoolkitbook.com cognoscomedia.comCheck out Mark Herschberg recommended books: Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780321934116   The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabone  https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781469033075   Survival of the Savvy: High Integrity Political Tactics for Career and Company Success by Rick Brandon and Marty Selman https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780743262545   Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Billion Dollar Tech on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

This is a podcast where I talk to my guests about their journey to success. We talk about their education, experience, current business, and future endeavours.  A feature length episode with Mark Herschberg, this is our second podcast conversation, where we talk about the role of media and his new app called Brain Bump.  Mark believes that content is moving from a traditional push method to a new pull view on content. He is making this happen with the creation of his new app called Brain Bump.  This app is where content providers add hints and tips from their content and the user either schedules or searches for these tips.

What role does peer-to-peer learning play in your career development?We recognize that we need a plan to reach out career goals. Our career plans should be ambitious and flexible. However, when we don't plan on becoming leaders, and we find ourselves in our first management role - it can be one of the biggest challenges we take on in our career. Being a leader means it's no longer about solving an individual problem, it becomes about how to lead a highly effective team. Leadership and project management skills benefit all of us, regardless of where we are in our careers. It's never too soon to start learning. In college, we learn formulas, content, and how to create reports. However, leadership has no formulas or cheat-sheets. In this week's episode, learn why peer-to-peer learning is KEY in developing strong leadership skills that can be applied in any number of professional settings. If you're interested in building a peer-to-peer learning group, here is what Mark Herschberg recommends: Build a group of 6-8 people. Listen to a podcast, read a few pages of a book, and discuss learnings as a group By doing this at your organization, you're upskilling your workforce, you're creating better employee engagement, and you're creating a common language for your employees. In this week's episode, we interview author of The Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You and creator of the Brain Bump app, Mark Herschberg. Listen in for his take on how you can yield outsized returns for your career and your income. THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOWWhat can you tell us about the importance of networking? How has it evolved since March 2020? What role does networking play in the role of peer-to-peer learning?
