Episode Synopsis

Imagine short attention spans being your friend instead of your foe. It’s training so short that you’ll finish it before your coffee gets cold. That’s nano learning — short and delivered just-in-time. Becky says your brain doesn’t want more, it wants just enough to take that next action.
