The process of authoring and producing my first course, Make Me A MetaLearner, was a great learning experience for me. It taught me a lot about the skills of research and writing and the importance of structuring educational content in a way that's easy to digest and understand for students.  As a university lecturer I’ve spent plenty of time preparing lessons and delivering them to students, but authoring an online course was a completely different ball game for me. Looking back, I can see that a big part of the process could be broken down into a number of key steps, which I had to figure out by trial and error.  This episode is part of my process for reflecting on what I've learned and in it I'm joined by writer, videographer and all around MetaLearner Will Reynolds. We discuss: - How to brainstorm ideas effectively and channel them into a skeleton structure - How to manage the process of a prolonged piece of writing and stay productive - How to build a system that makes your educational content easy to understand So whether you want to author your own educational content or are just curious about what goes on behind the scenes here at MetaLearn, this episode has you covered.

Finding great teachers is a big part of learning anything.  But for most people, the top experts are off limits. They’re only available to the few who can afford to fork out for their services, or a select who have spent years working their way up in the industry have the privilege of meeting and working with them.  So what if I told you that in 12-24 months you could be speaking to any teacher or expert you wanted?  That you could create your own education, build your own curriculum and learn from the best in the world.  You’d probably be interested. And you’d probably say I was crazy. But in the last 18 months since launching the MetaLearn Podcast, that’s exactly what I’ve done.  In this episode I'm joined by writer, videographer and all around MetaLearner Will Reynolds and we discuss: - How to choose your niche and build a brand around your podcast - How to reach out to guests, get the gear you need and interview them for your show - How to edit and promote your podcast to share your learning with a wider audience So whether you're looking to start your own podcast or are just curious about what goes on behind the scenes here at MetaLearn, this episode has you covered.

It’s the consistency over a long period of time where you really start to see the breakthrough. In this episode of Nat Chat, I’m joined by Nasos Papadopoulos. Nasos attended Oxford University, where after a while, realized that being on the path with finance and economics just wasn’t for him. He took a long break to travel and explore new opportunities, eventually getting into meta-learning and the science of learning. He started the site Metalearn.net where he educates other people on learning more effectively and efficiently. He also has a popular podcast and a course on the topic, all focused on helping people get better at learning. Nasos is an excellent guy to learn from for those wanting to learn more effectively and efficiently, stay motivated, and getting to know their learning strengths and weaknesses. We cover a wide range of topics, including: What Nasos has learned by focusing on learning how to learn The niche and lesser-known aspects of learning The fixed and growth mindsets and their impact on learning Figuring out your own learning strengths and weaknesses Applying Hebb’s Law and becoming more self and other-aware Overcoming the sunk cost of highly investing in the wrong area And much more. Please enjoy, and reach out to Nasos on Twitter!

Nasos is the host of the MetaLearn podcast all about how to become the most effective learner. When we met at the Polyglot conference in October 2016 we really hit it off and knew he would be a great guest! I love learning especially as it relates to languages. I also think that learning is enhanced while in a new environment like travelling. We talk about these things in this episode

The MetaLearn podcast has reached the big 5-0. The show is now in 127 countries with listeners on every continent and is growing rapidly – in fact in the first 3 months of 2017, the podcast had 40% more downloads than the whole of 2016! In today’s special episode you’ll have the chance to hear my reflections on learning and education after fifty episodes of the podcast. I'm interviewed by Joshua Fields, who was the very first guest on the podcast. Josh is a mental and physical health expert with qualifications in hypnotherapy, NLP and mindfulness meditation and is also a blogger at the Huffington Post, contributing on mental health, entrepreneurship and economics. In this conversation we discuss a range of topics including: - My main reflections on learning based on my insights from the podcast - The lessons I’ve learned from working as a lecturer and teacher - My views on the future of learning and the educational system So if you're interested to find out what I've learned after 50 episodes of the podcast, look no further than this special episode.

In this episode I provide an introduction to MetaLearn, featuring an exploration of the main themes in accelerated learning and skill acquisition as well as some insight into my own personal story. My mission is simple - to empower people to manage their own learning so they can use their knowledge and skills to make an impact on the world around them. In the last 5 years, I’ve done extensive research in the fields of cognitive psychology and educational neuroscience and taken courses in memory retention and accelerated learning from some of the world’s top experts. I’ve also applied the methods to my own learning projects and as an academic tutor taking many from Cs and Ds to straight As in the space of a few months. I believe that learning is a skill that can be acquired and improved and here on the podcast, I’ll break down the principles and techniques needed to learn anything fast. By tuning in you'll understand how to rapidly acquire skills and knowledge and master any skill or field of knowledge. In this first episode I’ll outline some of the main themes and objectives of the podcast and will touch on my own personal story, so you can get to know me a little better!
