And imagine how much faster you could progress with a kickstart from structured guidance, expert insights, and a supportive community. Why spend years figuring it out alone when you can accelerate your growth in just 9 weeks?
This is your chance to be part of our Inaugural Cohort - a special group of pioneers who will shape the future of this program. Here’s what participants from my previous workshops have said: Meeting Basti changed the way I approach learning. Before, I was always consuming knowledge but struggled to recall it when I needed it most. That’s when Basti introduced me to the concept of a Second Brain. He didn’t just explain the idea; he shared practical tips on organization and his own experiences with the system. Thanks to Basti’s guidance, I’ve not only improved my ability to remember what I learn, but I’m also learning faster than ever. Looking back over the past two years, the difference is clear. Recently, Basti introduced me to the 4MAT Learning style during a chat about smarter learning methods. I’ve already started incorporating it alongside my Second Brain approach, and I’m seeing even better results. Basti’s enthusiasm for learning is contagious. He’s always ready to share new ideas and techniques, making him a truly inspiring mentor in my journey towards more effective learning. -Hossein Lessan Toussi-
Working with my Second Brain has taken my productivity to a whole new level. I used to struggle with organizing my thoughts and keeping important information easily accessible. Now I have a system that helps me store and quickly retrieve thoughts, ideas, concepts, projects, and, most importantly, both previously learned and newly acquired knowledge in a structured way. It feels like having a personal assistant who is always ready to support me. As a result, I became much more relaxed and focused! -Artur Koter-
