Transcript

Now, if you listen to this show, then presumably you're interested in ideas about taking control of your mind that produce deep results in a distracted world. But there could be a difference sometimes between scattered advice, like I'm giving over a bunch of different podcast episodes, and a carefully produced class. This is why I recently recorded my very own master class course. It's called rebuild your focus and reclaim your time. And it's a comprehensive look at the types of things we talk about here on this show. Now, I was excited to record this class, not just because I wanted to get my ideas out there but because, I'm a master class fan myself. Just to name a few examples among many, I've eagerly devoured Malcolm Gladwell's, Aaron Sorkin's and Ron Howard's master class courses and I've enjoyed every one. Now here's the relevant details. Master Class offers more than 200 classes across 14 categories, topped by the world's best instructors including yours truly. You can watch the classes, but you can also listen to them in audio mode on your phone, meaning you can learn while working out or commuting or doing the dishes. And it's affordable with plans starting at just $10 a month when you choose to bill annually. MasterClass keeps adding new classes, so there's never been a better time to get in. Right now, as a listener of this show, you can get at least 15% off any annual membership at masterclass.com/deep. That's 15% off at masterclass.com/deep.
