1
00:00:00,125 --> 00:00:02,125
 If you're a coach, an expert, an author,

2
00:00:02,333 --> 00:00:04,625
 a course creator, or anyone who teaches

3
00:00:04,625 --> 00:00:06,375
 for a living, this episode

4
00:00:06,375 --> 00:00:08,000
 might rattle you a little bit.

5
00:00:08,291 --> 00:00:10,375
 And I think it's a good thing because you

6
00:00:10,375 --> 00:00:12,208
 pour everything into your content, your

7
00:00:12,208 --> 00:00:14,708
 modules, your videos, your live calls,

8
00:00:14,958 --> 00:00:16,708
 and then you watch students who consume

9
00:00:16,708 --> 00:00:18,833
 it and somehow they don't change.

10
00:00:19,333 --> 00:00:21,125
 They tell you that it was amazing, but

11
00:00:21,125 --> 00:00:23,375
 six months later, nothing's different in

12
00:00:23,375 --> 00:00:24,541
 their life or their business.

13
00:00:25,041 --> 00:00:26,166
 And you wonder what's going on.

14
00:00:26,708 --> 00:00:28,083
 Well, today I'm gonna share what I

15
00:00:28,083 --> 00:00:29,416
 learned from a conversation that

16
00:00:29,416 --> 00:00:30,916
 genuinely shifted how

17
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:31,833
 I'm thinking about this.

18
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:33,333
 And there's research behind

19
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:34,375
 it that's pretty staggering.

20
00:00:34,833 --> 00:00:36,291
 And by the end, you're gonna have a

21
00:00:36,291 --> 00:00:38,625
 simple five-letter test that you can run

22
00:00:38,625 --> 00:00:39,791
 your content through.

23
00:00:40,125 --> 00:00:40,875
 I'm calling it the

24
00:00:40,875 --> 00:00:42,541
 STICK test because if your

25
00:01:28,666 --> 00:01:30,625
 where I gave you a debrief

26
00:01:30,625 --> 00:01:32,333
 of some of the Summit stats.

27
00:01:32,875 --> 00:01:34,458
 One of the things that stood out to me

28
00:01:34,458 --> 00:01:36,291
 that I was sharing with our Impact

29
00:01:36,291 --> 00:01:38,250
 Mastermind, and by the way, this is a

30
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:40,083
 group of people who are all running seven

31
00:01:40,083 --> 00:01:41,708
 and eight-figure memberships.

32
00:01:42,208 --> 00:01:44,125
 So I was sharing with them some of the

33
00:01:44,125 --> 00:01:45,750
 behind-the-scenes of the Summit and how

34
00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:46,791
 it went and so forth.

35
00:01:46,791 --> 00:01:48,083
 And one of the numbers that I shared with

36
00:01:48,083 --> 00:01:50,041
 them was that we

37
00:01:50,041 --> 00:01:52,291
 identified a glaring opportunity.

38
00:01:52,875 --> 00:01:56,000
 And that opportunity was that 30% of the

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,291
 people registered consumed

40
00:01:58,291 --> 00:02:00,208
 some portion of the content.

41
00:02:00,208 --> 00:02:03,375
 Either they showed up live to our live

42
00:02:03,375 --> 00:02:05,291
 trainings or they watched the videos.

43
00:02:05,958 --> 00:02:07,458
 And I framed this as a glaring

44
00:02:07,458 --> 00:02:09,291
 opportunity because if we can get that

45
00:02:09,291 --> 00:02:11,333
 number up, then we're gonna be able to

46
00:02:11,333 --> 00:02:12,666
 support and help more people.

47
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:15,500
 Then Scott Paley in our

48
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:17,291
 Mastermind, he chimed in.

49
00:02:17,291 --> 00:02:20,250
 And he said, "Well, Stu, I consumed all

50
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:22,541
 of the content, "but I probably didn't

51
00:02:22,541 --> 00:02:23,875
 show up "in your

52
00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:25,583
 engagement stats at all."

53
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:27,625
 And so I was curious.

54
00:02:27,625 --> 00:02:28,541
 I was like, "Well, what do you mean?"

55
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:30,833
 And he said, "Well, what I did was "I

56
00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:32,333
 didn't watch the videos "and I didn't

57
00:02:32,333 --> 00:02:33,958
 attend any of the live trainings."

58
00:02:33,958 --> 00:02:35,833
 He said, "I took the transcripts though

59
00:02:36,125 --> 00:02:38,333
 "from each of the videos and I ran them

60
00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:40,833
 through Claude "and used a skill designed

61
00:02:40,833 --> 00:02:42,333
 to give me "the best

62
00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:43,875
 learnings for my business."

63
00:02:45,291 --> 00:02:48,375
 And that right there made me pause.

64
00:02:49,416 --> 00:02:50,958
 See, Scott didn't quote,

65
00:02:50,958 --> 00:02:52,666
 "engage" in the traditional way.

66
00:02:52,666 --> 00:02:54,708
 He didn't show up live or he didn't

67
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:57,583
 consume the videos, but he was learning

68
00:02:57,583 --> 00:03:01,666
 through a new learning partner in AI.

69
00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:03,875
 And that moment cracked something open

70
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:06,083
 for me because people aren't consuming

71
00:03:06,083 --> 00:03:07,750
 content the way they used to.

72
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:10,000
 They're taking long form content like

73
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,708
 podcasts or YouTube videos or in this

74
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,625
 case, Summit Replays, and they're just

75
00:03:14,625 --> 00:03:16,958
 feeding them into AI for the summaries.

76
00:03:17,708 --> 00:03:19,833
 So then I went on my social media,

77
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:20,875
 specifically Instagram,

78
00:03:20,875 --> 00:03:22,000
 and I asked my audience.

79
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,916
 I said, "Which way do you like learning?

80
00:03:24,291 --> 00:03:26,083
 "Is it video, audio, text,

81
00:03:26,083 --> 00:03:28,625
 live, or is it AI summaries?"

82
00:03:29,208 --> 00:03:31,041
 And there was a ton of mixed responses.

83
00:03:31,541 --> 00:03:32,083
 But then there was

84
00:03:32,083 --> 00:03:33,333
 one comment that stuck.

85
00:03:33,666 --> 00:03:35,541
 A woman said that she doesn't like AI

86
00:03:35,541 --> 00:03:37,750
 summaries because they don't exercise her

87
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:39,875
 brain the same way watching,

88
00:03:39,875 --> 00:03:41,083
 reading, or listening does.

89
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:43,000
 And she said, "In fact, her preference is

90
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,583
 live "because that is the most engaging."

91
00:03:46,916 --> 00:03:48,083
 So this got me curious.

92
00:03:48,666 --> 00:03:49,833
 What is the most

93
00:03:49,833 --> 00:03:52,083
 effective way for people to learn?

94
00:03:52,583 --> 00:03:54,750
 So then I went and did some research, and

95
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:57,791
 what I found has massive implications for

96
00:03:57,791 --> 00:04:00,041
 any of us who are teaching for a living.

97
00:04:00,291 --> 00:04:01,958
 That includes you, that includes me,

98
00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:03,708
 And so I wanna share with you three

99
00:04:03,708 --> 00:04:04,875
 things that stood out,

100
00:04:04,875 --> 00:04:06,208
 and then a simple test.

101
00:04:06,458 --> 00:04:08,041
 Point number one, the

102
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:09,458
 research is staggering.

103
00:04:10,291 --> 00:04:11,916
 So a randomized

104
00:04:11,916 --> 00:04:15,583
 controlled trial of 120 students.

105
00:04:16,625 --> 00:04:18,666
 These were students who were using

106
00:04:18,666 --> 00:04:22,041
 ChatGPT to study for their tests.

107
00:04:22,666 --> 00:04:25,166
 And those who used ChatGPT to study

108
00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:28,541
 scored 57.5% on

109
00:04:28,541 --> 00:04:31,208
 retention tests 45 days later.

110
00:04:31,791 --> 00:04:34,000
 The traditional learners who did not use

111
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,208
 ChatGPT scored much higher, 68.5%.

112
00:04:40,125 --> 00:04:41,458
 That's a massive gap.

113
00:04:41,708 --> 00:04:43,666
 And it's not because AI is bad, it's

114
00:04:43,666 --> 00:04:44,458
 because of something

115
00:04:44,458 --> 00:04:46,500
 called cognitive offloading.

116
00:04:47,125 --> 00:04:47,916
 So think of your brain

117
00:04:47,916 --> 00:04:49,041
 like a muscle at the gym.

118
00:04:49,333 --> 00:04:51,291
 If you watch someone else lift the

119
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:52,958
 weights, you're not gonna get stronger.

120
00:04:53,291 --> 00:04:55,750
 You only get stronger when you pick up

121
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:56,666
 the weight yourself.

122
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,333
 And AI summaries are like having someone

123
00:04:59,375 --> 00:05:01,000
 chew your food for you.

124
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,333
 You get the nutrients faster for sure,

125
00:05:03,708 --> 00:05:05,833
 but your jaw never gets stronger.

126
00:05:06,291 --> 00:05:07,291
 Now here's the deeper finding.

127
00:05:07,666 --> 00:05:09,208
 It's not just AI summaries.

128
00:05:09,625 --> 00:05:11,041
 The pattern shows up everywhere.

129
00:05:11,541 --> 00:05:12,833
 So there's two ways that

130
00:05:12,833 --> 00:05:14,166
 your brain takes in information.

131
00:05:14,625 --> 00:05:16,416
 There's passive learning, which is when

132
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:17,833
 you're just absorbing it.

133
00:05:17,833 --> 00:05:19,375
 And this may be through like watching a

134
00:05:19,375 --> 00:05:21,375
 video, listening to a podcast or reading

135
00:05:21,375 --> 00:05:22,333
 a book, but the

136
00:05:22,333 --> 00:05:24,208
 information is flowing at you.

137
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:27,166
 Active learning is when your brain has to

138
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:28,750
 do something with the information.

139
00:05:29,208 --> 00:05:31,125
 Maybe it's answer a question, maybe it's

140
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:33,166
 apply in some way, maybe it's teaching it

141
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,083
 to somebody else or solving a problem.

142
00:05:35,791 --> 00:05:37,333
 So passive learning is

143
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:38,833
 like watching a cooking show.

144
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:40,625
 Active learning is like

145
00:05:40,625 --> 00:05:42,166
 actually cooking the meal.

146
00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:45,333
 Both feel productive, but only one

147
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:47,375
 teaches you how to actually cook.

148
00:05:47,833 --> 00:05:48,916
 Now here's where it gets interesting.

149
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:52,208
 Researchers compared active learners to

150
00:05:52,208 --> 00:05:54,375
 passive learners, and they asked both

151
00:05:54,375 --> 00:05:56,416
 groups how prepared they

152
00:05:56,416 --> 00:05:59,125
 felt before going into a test.

153
00:06:00,375 --> 00:06:02,250
 Interestingly enough, the passive

154
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:03,541
 learners were the ones

155
00:06:03,541 --> 00:06:04,750
 that were more confident.

156
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:08,333
 62.5% of them said that they felt

157
00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:11,625
 prepared, but only 53% of

158
00:06:11,625 --> 00:06:14,250
 active learners said the same.

159
00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:16,000
 Now here's where it

160
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,166
 gets even more interesting.

161
00:06:17,541 --> 00:06:19,541
 The passive group were more confident

162
00:06:19,541 --> 00:06:20,750
 going into the test, right?

163
00:06:21,166 --> 00:06:22,541
 Well, then they tested them.

164
00:06:23,125 --> 00:06:24,958
 And the passive group, the ones who felt

165
00:06:24,958 --> 00:06:28,458
 more prepared, they scored worse, like

166
00:06:28,458 --> 00:06:31,166
 way worse by a huge margin.

167
00:06:31,916 --> 00:06:35,083
 Passive learners only retained 79% of the

168
00:06:35,083 --> 00:06:36,250
 information, whereas

169
00:06:36,250 --> 00:06:39,083
 active learners retained 94%

170
00:06:40,416 --> 00:06:42,125
 of the information.

171
00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:43,458
 Huge difference.

172
00:06:44,041 --> 00:06:46,500
 So passive learning feels like progress,

173
00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:48,333
 but it isn't actually progress.

174
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:50,041
 And your students can't tell the

175
00:06:50,041 --> 00:06:51,416
 difference, and that's the trap.

176
00:06:51,791 --> 00:06:53,666
 They binge your content, they feel

177
00:06:53,666 --> 00:06:54,708
 transformed, and they

178
00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:55,875
 tell you it was amazing.

179
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:57,041
 But then,

180
00:06:58,291 --> 00:06:59,500
 nothing changes.

181
00:07:00,333 --> 00:07:01,875
 And it's not because they're lazy, it's

182
00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:03,541
 because their brain lied to them.

183
00:07:03,958 --> 00:07:05,333
 Is this all making sense so far?

184
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:07,250
 So this is the trap that your students

185
00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:09,000
 are falling into right now, and it's

186
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,125
 getting worse with AI in the mix.

187
00:07:11,958 --> 00:07:12,833
 Okay, point number two.

188
00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:15,250
 All of this changes

189
00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:18,041
 what your job actually is.

190
00:07:18,875 --> 00:07:21,750
 So most coaches, experts, authors, we

191
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:22,500
 measure ourselves

192
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:24,250
 typically by what we put out.

193
00:07:24,541 --> 00:07:26,583
 That could be our books, slide decks,

194
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:28,166
 modules, workbooks,

195
00:07:28,166 --> 00:07:29,833
 lives, all our content.

196
00:07:30,125 --> 00:07:32,166
 We think value is in the content.

197
00:07:32,708 --> 00:07:35,208
 But the research says the content was

198
00:07:35,208 --> 00:07:36,208
 never the bottleneck.

199
00:07:36,833 --> 00:07:37,958
 The student's effort

200
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,958
 during the content is.

201
00:07:40,875 --> 00:07:42,750
 So here's what I want you to think about.

202
00:07:43,750 --> 00:07:45,166
 You are not paid to teach.

203
00:07:45,791 --> 00:07:48,041
 You are paid to make it stick.

204
00:07:48,541 --> 00:07:49,583
 And there's a big difference.

205
00:07:50,375 --> 00:07:52,666
 So if we go back to the gym analogy

206
00:07:52,666 --> 00:07:54,625
 again, a personal trainer doesn't get

207
00:07:54,625 --> 00:07:56,166
 paid to know about exercise.

208
00:07:56,625 --> 00:07:58,458
 They get paid to make you do the reps.

209
00:07:58,916 --> 00:08:01,458
 And we need to think the same way when

210
00:08:01,458 --> 00:08:02,916
 we're teaching anybody

211
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:04,125
 inside of our programs.

212
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:06,250
 Anybody can deliver information now.

213
00:08:06,791 --> 00:08:08,750
 AI can summarize your book in 30 seconds.

214
00:08:09,166 --> 00:08:11,875
 So your job isn't to inform, it's to make

215
00:08:11,875 --> 00:08:13,916
 the information stick.

216
00:08:14,666 --> 00:08:16,583
 And a lot of people are nervous that AI

217
00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:17,458
 is gonna replace them.

218
00:08:17,791 --> 00:08:19,833
 I mean, though I've heard so many people

219
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:21,916
 share with me, like, well, why is

220
00:08:21,916 --> 00:08:23,708
 somebody gonna pay me to join my

221
00:08:23,708 --> 00:08:26,250
 membership or my program when AI can just

222
00:08:26,250 --> 00:08:27,250
 summarize my course?

223
00:08:27,916 --> 00:08:30,000
 Well, this research flips that whole

224
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,583
 argument because AI summaries actually

225
00:08:32,583 --> 00:08:35,208
 make retention worse, which means people

226
00:08:35,208 --> 00:08:36,958
 who consume your work through AI

227
00:08:36,958 --> 00:08:39,250
 summaries will get less out of it.

228
00:08:39,708 --> 00:08:42,291
 They'll need a real teacher who can teach

229
00:08:42,291 --> 00:08:45,333
 them and help them process the

230
00:08:45,333 --> 00:08:48,166
 information and utilize the information.

231
00:08:48,708 --> 00:08:50,625
 So the moat isn't information anymore.

232
00:08:51,208 --> 00:08:51,583
 It's effort,

233
00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:53,708
 accountability, and application.

234
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:55,208
 Is this all making sense?

235
00:08:55,791 --> 00:08:57,458
 Are you starting to get some ideas on

236
00:08:57,458 --> 00:08:59,750
 things that you might need to shift in

237
00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:00,500
 the way that you teach?

238
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,958
 I'm hoping so because it

239
00:09:01,958 --> 00:09:03,041
 really got my wheels turning.

240
00:09:03,583 --> 00:09:06,541
 Okay, point number three, the stick test.

241
00:09:07,291 --> 00:09:09,791
 So the question then becomes, how do you

242
00:09:09,791 --> 00:09:13,208
 actually make your information stick so

243
00:09:13,208 --> 00:09:16,000
 that when people learn it, it stays with

244
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,041
 them and they're able

245
00:09:17,041 --> 00:09:18,541
 to use it in the future?

246
00:09:19,208 --> 00:09:20,958
 Well, I built a simple test that you can

247
00:09:20,958 --> 00:09:22,083
 run your content through.

248
00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:24,041
 It's five letters that

249
00:09:24,041 --> 00:09:28,041
 spell the word stick, S-T-I-C-K.

250
00:09:28,375 --> 00:09:29,625
 So let's walk through it.

251
00:09:30,291 --> 00:09:32,583
 S, space the teaching.

252
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,791
 So the key here is you don't wanna dump

253
00:09:36,041 --> 00:09:37,333
 all of your teaching up front.

254
00:09:37,541 --> 00:09:41,625
 It's easy to think that we are providing

255
00:09:41,875 --> 00:09:43,666
 as much information as we can, as quickly

256
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:46,375
 as we can, and the sooner people have all

257
00:09:46,375 --> 00:09:47,333
 the information, the better.

258
00:09:47,666 --> 00:09:48,916
 But the research shows otherwise.

259
00:09:49,541 --> 00:09:52,458
 When you give people information all up

260
00:09:52,458 --> 00:09:55,291
 front, they have a lower

261
00:09:55,291 --> 00:09:57,291
 retention of that information.

262
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:59,125
 So it's much more effective

263
00:09:59,125 --> 00:10:02,083
 if what we do is space it out.

264
00:10:02,708 --> 00:10:05,375
 So the brain locks information in when

265
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:07,250
 it's revisited over time.

266
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:09,000
 So drip your ideas

267
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,208
 across weeks and months.

268
00:10:12,375 --> 00:10:16,583
 The T in stick stands for trigger recall.

269
00:10:17,166 --> 00:10:19,125
 So don't just summarize what you taught.

270
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,625
 Make them summarize it back.

271
00:10:22,083 --> 00:10:24,708
 A simple before our next call, write me a

272
00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:26,833
 one paragraph on what you took from this

273
00:10:26,833 --> 00:10:29,666
 week, outperforms any recap email.

274
00:10:30,166 --> 00:10:32,291
 And the act of retrieving it is what

275
00:10:32,375 --> 00:10:34,916
 carves the lesson into long-term memory.

276
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:37,375
 So I want you to think about this with

277
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:39,625
 your lessons, with your live trainings.

278
00:10:40,041 --> 00:10:44,125
 How can you request people to summarize

279
00:10:44,125 --> 00:10:45,375
 the content back or

280
00:10:45,375 --> 00:10:46,708
 share their learnings back?

281
00:10:46,916 --> 00:10:48,916
 that retrieval is what is

282
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:50,916
 going to make the lessons stick.

283
00:10:51,875 --> 00:10:54,166
 Okay, the I in stick is

284
00:10:54,166 --> 00:10:55,666
 illustrate with story.

285
00:10:57,083 --> 00:10:59,750
 Frameworks dressed in stories stick.

286
00:11:00,583 --> 00:11:01,750
 Frameworks delivered as

287
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:03,708
 bullet points evaporate.

288
00:11:04,083 --> 00:11:05,583
 So every lesson needs a

289
00:11:05,583 --> 00:11:07,875
 face, a moment, a real example.

290
00:11:08,458 --> 00:11:09,791
 Story isn't just decoration.

291
00:11:10,458 --> 00:11:11,583
 Story is the carrier.

292
00:11:12,125 --> 00:11:14,125
 So when you're thinking about this, I

293
00:11:14,125 --> 00:11:16,125
 want you to think about how you can wrap

294
00:11:16,125 --> 00:11:18,208
 the lessons in stories.

295
00:11:18,791 --> 00:11:21,833
 Hopefully my conversation with Scott is a

296
00:11:21,833 --> 00:11:24,000
 story that will stick for you.

297
00:11:24,291 --> 00:11:27,041
 Realizing that people are getting more

298
00:11:27,041 --> 00:11:29,375
 and more interactive with AI.

299
00:11:29,875 --> 00:11:31,250
 And they're doing less

300
00:11:31,250 --> 00:11:32,791
 and less deeper learning.

301
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:34,583
 And this is the

302
00:11:34,583 --> 00:11:36,166
 danger point for you and I.

303
00:11:36,333 --> 00:11:37,125
 This is the danger

304
00:11:37,125 --> 00:11:38,083
 point for our students.

305
00:11:38,708 --> 00:11:40,541
 We've got to make this information stick.

306
00:11:40,541 --> 00:11:42,375
 and the only way we can do that is if we

307
00:11:42,375 --> 00:11:43,375
 take it from passive

308
00:11:43,375 --> 00:11:45,041
 learning to active learning.

309
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,666
 So illustrate with a story.

310
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:50,416
 Hopefully Scott Paley will now will come

311
00:11:50,416 --> 00:11:53,625
 to mind when you are thinking about how

312
00:11:53,625 --> 00:11:54,791
 to deliver your content.

313
00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:57,375
 Okay, the C in stick is

314
00:11:57,375 --> 00:11:59,458
 community teaches community.

315
00:12:00,041 --> 00:12:02,875
 The fastest way for somebody to lock in

316
00:12:02,875 --> 00:12:05,208
 information and to remember and to retain

317
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:07,250
 it is to explain it to somebody else.

318
00:12:07,583 --> 00:12:09,125
 The best programs have

319
00:12:09,125 --> 00:12:11,041
 members coaching members.

320
00:12:11,041 --> 00:12:11,791
 That's not a bug.

321
00:12:12,041 --> 00:12:13,208
 That's the whole point.

322
00:12:13,583 --> 00:12:15,041
 When your students teach what they're

323
00:12:15,041 --> 00:12:16,333
 learning, they own it.

324
00:12:16,666 --> 00:12:18,958
 I think of my friend, Eryko in Brazil.

325
00:12:19,291 --> 00:12:20,916
 He's got this brilliant program.

326
00:12:21,291 --> 00:12:23,000
 But one of the things that I love most

327
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,041
 about it is he has a black belt system.

328
00:12:26,541 --> 00:12:28,458
 So the people that are in the early

329
00:12:28,458 --> 00:12:30,166
 stages of learning, they're white belts.

330
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:32,500
 The people that have truly mastered the

331
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,375
 content, they are black belts.

332
00:12:34,791 --> 00:12:36,583
 And so the students work through these

333
00:12:36,583 --> 00:12:37,541
 different colors, much

334
00:12:37,541 --> 00:12:39,958
 like the karate belt system.

335
00:12:40,208 --> 00:12:41,125
 But here's what's interesting.

336
00:12:41,583 --> 00:12:44,291
 When people get to the brown belt level,

337
00:12:44,916 --> 00:12:47,333
 they then have to spend a certain number

338
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,333
 of hours helping and

339
00:12:49,333 --> 00:12:51,500
 teaching the earlier students.

340
00:12:51,958 --> 00:12:54,041
 And what this does is it just deepens

341
00:12:54,041 --> 00:12:55,333
 their learning to get

342
00:12:55,333 --> 00:12:57,333
 to true mastery level.

343
00:12:57,625 --> 00:12:58,708
 And I love that.

344
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,708
 This is community teaching community.

345
00:13:01,958 --> 00:13:04,041
 It is your students helping other

346
00:13:04,041 --> 00:13:06,666
 students and therefore going deeper and

347
00:13:06,666 --> 00:13:09,000
 deeper in their level of retention and

348
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,250
 mastery with your content.

349
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:14,708
 Okay, the K in stick is keep the rhythm.

350
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:17,583
 Many times we think because we've taught

351
00:13:17,583 --> 00:13:19,583
 it once, then we should move

352
00:13:19,583 --> 00:13:21,208
 on and teach something new.

353
00:13:21,666 --> 00:13:23,583
 But the research shows otherwise.

354
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:25,541
 Same ideas, just

355
00:13:25,541 --> 00:13:27,916
 different angles across months.

356
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:30,208
 Not new content every week,

357
00:13:30,666 --> 00:13:33,125
 reinforced content every week.

358
00:13:33,666 --> 00:13:35,000
 Repetition is not boring, my friend.

359
00:13:35,375 --> 00:13:38,333
 Repetition is how brains build mastery.

360
00:13:38,666 --> 00:13:40,791
 So I know that you're probably gonna get

361
00:13:40,791 --> 00:13:43,708
 bored way sooner than your audience will.

362
00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:45,875
 But you've gotta revisit the same core

363
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:48,875
 concepts over and over and over again in

364
00:13:48,875 --> 00:13:49,958
 order for it to stick.

365
00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:52,083
 The way you keep it fresh is just new

366
00:13:52,083 --> 00:13:54,708
 stories, new analogies, new examples.

367
00:13:55,125 --> 00:13:57,916
 So when we think of the stick test, I

368
00:13:57,916 --> 00:13:59,625
 wanna ask you, how does

369
00:13:59,625 --> 00:14:01,083
 your content stack up?

370
00:14:01,416 --> 00:14:04,083
 The S, remember, is space the teaching.

371
00:14:04,458 --> 00:14:06,125
 Instead of dumping it all up in front,

372
00:14:06,708 --> 00:14:08,041
 space it out over time.

373
00:14:08,541 --> 00:14:10,583
 The T stands for trigger recall.

374
00:14:11,041 --> 00:14:12,291
 Don't summarize what you taught, make

375
00:14:12,291 --> 00:14:13,666
 them summarize it back.

376
00:14:13,875 --> 00:14:15,541
 In fact, if I were to ask you what the

377
00:14:15,541 --> 00:14:17,125
 stick test stands for, would

378
00:14:17,125 --> 00:14:19,208
 you be able to recite it back?

379
00:14:19,958 --> 00:14:21,458
 Okay, space the teaching.

380
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:23,750
 T is trigger the recall.

381
00:14:24,625 --> 00:14:26,250
 I is illustrate with story.

382
00:14:26,958 --> 00:14:29,333
 C is community teaches community.

383
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:31,916
 And K is keep the rhythm.

384
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:35,250
 Now I will say this, the stick test is

385
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:36,083
 really hard to

386
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:37,625
 deliver in a one-off course.

387
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:39,250
 It can be done for sure.

388
00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:41,250
 In fact, when I look back at some of the

389
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:42,958
 changes that we made in our signature

390
00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:46,375
 program, a lot of them now in hindsight

391
00:14:46,375 --> 00:14:48,166
 follow this methodology.

392
00:14:48,708 --> 00:14:49,916
 We spaced it out.

393
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:53,000
 We had a whole week where people were all

394
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,750
 launching together so we were actively

395
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,166
 applying and implementing.

396
00:14:56,708 --> 00:14:58,458
 And so there's so many elements of what

397
00:14:58,458 --> 00:15:00,458
 we tweaked are baked into this.

398
00:15:00,791 --> 00:15:01,666
 But here's the reality.

399
00:15:02,041 --> 00:15:04,875
 This is why I love a membership because

400
00:15:04,875 --> 00:15:06,500
 it runs naturally and

401
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,041
 it's spaced delivery.

402
00:15:08,458 --> 00:15:11,333
 There's recall on lives and trainings.

403
00:15:11,666 --> 00:15:12,833
 There's breakout sessions

404
00:15:13,125 --> 00:15:15,250
 where people are helping people.

405
00:15:15,666 --> 00:15:17,875
 There's stories all baked into this and

406
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,750
 it's the same ideas just revisited from

407
00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:22,583
 different angles all the time.

408
00:15:22,916 --> 00:15:23,833
 And I'm not telling you this

409
00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:24,916
 to pitch you on memberships.

410
00:15:24,916 --> 00:15:25,875
 I'm telling you because

411
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:27,333
 the research is clear.

412
00:15:27,666 --> 00:15:30,250
 The membership model is a better model

413
00:15:30,250 --> 00:15:32,500
 over time for helping

414
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,791
 people retain the information.

415
00:15:35,458 --> 00:15:36,291
 So here's what I want

416
00:15:36,291 --> 00:15:37,000
 you to do this week.

417
00:15:37,416 --> 00:15:39,000
 I want you to take whatever

418
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,125
 you're currently teaching.

419
00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:41,958
 Maybe it's a course, a coaching program.

420
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:44,083
 Maybe it's a book, whatever it is.

421
00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:45,208
 And I want you to run it

422
00:15:45,208 --> 00:15:45,958
 through the stick test.

423
00:15:46,666 --> 00:15:47,833
 Where are you spacing?

424
00:15:48,541 --> 00:15:50,333
 Where are you triggering recall?

425
00:15:50,958 --> 00:15:51,833
 Where's the stories?

426
00:15:52,458 --> 00:15:54,625
 And where's the community piece?

427
00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:56,791
 And what's the rhythm?

428
00:15:57,208 --> 00:15:59,166
 Don't try to fix all five at once.

429
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:00,916
 Just pick the weakest one and strengthen

430
00:16:00,916 --> 00:16:02,416
 that, then move to the next.

431
00:16:03,083 --> 00:16:03,666
 All right, my friend.

432
00:16:03,666 --> 00:16:04,875
 So thank you so much for listening.

433
00:16:05,166 --> 00:16:06,708
 And one of the things that I hope that

434
00:16:06,708 --> 00:16:10,291
 you recall is how important it is to rate

435
00:16:10,291 --> 00:16:11,333
 and review the show.

436
00:16:11,958 --> 00:16:14,458
 I would love, it would be a huge thank

437
00:16:14,458 --> 00:16:16,875
 you, if you just go and share your

438
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:19,291
 thoughts on this podcast.

439
00:16:19,791 --> 00:16:22,208
 Because I don't get to interact with you.

440
00:16:22,208 --> 00:16:22,833
 This is one of the

441
00:16:22,833 --> 00:16:24,166
 downsides of podcasting.

442
00:16:24,166 --> 00:16:25,750
 I have no idea whether you like the show,

443
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:27,458
 whether you hate the show, whether you

444
00:16:27,458 --> 00:16:28,500
 are referring the show.

445
00:16:28,916 --> 00:16:31,333
 But the only time that I ever heard from

446
00:16:31,333 --> 00:16:35,125
 people in like mass, so to speak, was

447
00:16:35,125 --> 00:16:37,041
 when I stopped recording the show.

448
00:16:37,041 --> 00:16:38,083
 And that's when I heard from people

449
00:16:38,083 --> 00:16:38,875
 saying, "I used to

450
00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:39,958
 listen to you all the time.

451
00:16:40,125 --> 00:16:41,166
 I loved the podcast."

452
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,000
 And so I would love it.

453
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:45,666
 If you go rate the show, review the show,

454
00:16:45,916 --> 00:16:48,041
 shoot me a message on Instagram and let

455
00:16:48,041 --> 00:16:49,750
 me know what you think of these episodes.

456
00:16:50,291 --> 00:16:50,833
 All right, my friend.

457
00:16:51,833 --> 00:16:54,166
 So let's recap today's episode.

458
00:16:54,791 --> 00:16:56,500
 It all started with this conversation

459
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:58,583
 with Scott when I was talking about the

460
00:16:58,583 --> 00:17:01,208
 engagement of our summit.

461
00:17:01,208 --> 00:17:03,166
 And he said, "Look, I engage, I just

462
00:17:03,166 --> 00:17:04,500
 engage in a different way.

463
00:17:04,916 --> 00:17:05,833
 And I just took the

464
00:17:05,833 --> 00:17:08,041
 transcripts and put it into AI.

465
00:17:08,416 --> 00:17:10,833
 And that is now my method of learning."

466
00:17:11,166 --> 00:17:13,375
 And this just sparked my curiosity about

467
00:17:13,375 --> 00:17:16,000
 what is the most effective way to learn.

468
00:17:16,625 --> 00:17:18,625
 And in the research, what I'm discovering

469
00:17:18,833 --> 00:17:21,291
 is that students using AI summaries

470
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:23,750
 retain about 11 points less than

471
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:24,541
 traditional learners.

472
00:17:25,083 --> 00:17:27,791
 And active learners retain over 93%,

473
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,916
 whereas passive learners are around 79%.

474
00:17:32,125 --> 00:17:35,666
 But passive, it feels better walking in

475
00:17:36,041 --> 00:17:37,416
 because it feels like

476
00:17:37,416 --> 00:17:38,416
 you're learning the information.

477
00:17:38,958 --> 00:17:40,875
 But the truth of the matter is, you're

478
00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:42,500
 actually retaining less.

479
00:17:43,125 --> 00:17:45,500
 And your job, my job is not to teach,

480
00:17:45,958 --> 00:17:48,208
 it's to make the information stick.

481
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:49,583
 It is all about

482
00:17:49,583 --> 00:17:51,041
 progress and transformation.

483
00:17:51,458 --> 00:17:52,791
 The only way that can happen

484
00:17:52,791 --> 00:17:54,291
 is if the information sticks.

485
00:17:54,750 --> 00:17:55,750
 And that's where we

486
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:57,000
 came to the stick test.

487
00:17:57,708 --> 00:17:58,750
 Space, trigger,

488
00:17:59,458 --> 00:18:01,625
 illustrate, community, keep.

489
00:18:01,958 --> 00:18:02,666
 Here's the reality,

490
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:04,583
 information is free now.

491
00:18:05,041 --> 00:18:06,208
 And transformation though,

492
00:18:06,583 --> 00:18:07,666
 that's the thing that's rare.

493
00:18:08,041 --> 00:18:10,041
 And the teachers who understand that will

494
00:18:10,041 --> 00:18:11,541
 build the businesses of

495
00:18:11,541 --> 00:18:12,875
 the next decade and beyond.

496
00:18:13,250 --> 00:18:15,458
 The ones who don't will keep wondering

497
00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:16,500
 why their students

498
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:17,708
 aren't getting results.

499
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,208
 Go be the few who are dedicated and

500
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,041
 committed to getting your

501
00:18:23,041 --> 00:18:24,541
 students transformation.

502
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:25,708
 All right, my friend,
