On April 21, Chuck Frey and Tiago Forte, the author of the Building a Second Brain online course, chatted on Zoom about the ways in which it can help you level up your thinking and empower you to create your ideal future.
Tiago shared some AMAZING insights, which you can check out in the video recording of our call here. This is an excellent indicator of the quality of learning in the BASB course!
