Life Sciences · Josh Turknett, MD
by Josh Turknett, MD
Extraordinary minds are built from ordinary brains. This show is about how to build yours, and how to get out of its way when it counts. I'm Josh Turknett, a neurologist and the author of The Genius and the Impostor. I talk with people who have built remarkable skills, from a three-time Grammy-winning guitarist and a six-time USA Memory Champion to a man who stuttered for more than sixty years, then retrained his speech at seventy. We dig into how they did it, and I walk through what was happening in their brains along the way, so you can put the same science to work on whatever you're learning.

I highly recommend this podcast for the adult learner of any musical instrument. Lots of great information and inspiration!
What a great was to help us learn to look at building a skill differently. I always find at least one thing to take with me during each podcast.
I'm not a banjo player; I find these applicable to learning other things because the examples are very concrete. When I'm stuck, I try approaching something related and the stickiness soon evaporates.
