Brain power! Knowledge is power.

[@kylemiller7892]

I just found the most downloaded fitness and entertainment podcast in the world! Great episode!

[@MindPumpShow]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@willbusby6033]

I found you guys at the perfect time - I was about to start destroying myself with cardio and no food and you saved me! Now doing regular strength training and eating a clean diet and feeling great and getting results! Keep it up guys!

[@cruzmi55iledestinygameenth47]

This is one of the best discussions .I’ve watched on your show so far.

[@jameslincoln4154]

I do have Jim Kwik’s book, but I didn’t realize it was his first! I also took the test and it appears that I am a Cheetah as well, it is such interesting information. I lost my Dog of 17 years on Monday and as I have grieved I find that how much I have slept is how I can deal with it as the week goes by. Yesterday was hard, but I’d only had 4 hours of sleep. Today with a full night of rest, I’m able to frame things better 🤔. Thanks for the show.

[@RoyalAzul]

I need to know more! Thank you Mind Pump once again for another great episode!

[@jeinzbern3917]

To be strong physically, you need be strong mentally. To be strong mentally, you need to be strong physically. This episode another a prime example of that. Thank you Jim and Mindpump for delivering this once again👊

[@bobbychambers8191]

You guys have completely changed not only how I do fitness and nutrition but my husband as well. I’ve gone from having the mindset of just losing weight and cutting calories to now wanting to not just lose weight but more importantly build muscle. I’ve gone from eating 1200-1500 calories to now 1900 - 2000 calories. No longer focused on the scale but focused on getting stronger in the gym. Thank you guys for all you do!

[@rdverse1]

I got all my friends hooked on this podcast in our daily carpool! Everyone loves it, awesome content! ♥️

[@TrumpTrain911]

Pumping that mind muscle up ! 💪

[@linneagranville1388]

Gonna take the test today! I love listen to your show. Your program is on my Christmas list!

[@Sweet_T316]

Mind Pump is a mental and physical gain! Let's get it! ❤🧠💪

[@michaelschiller9570]

Oooh.... pumping the mind. I'll have to look up the previous episode too.

[@Bayli7]

Such a wealth of knowledge. I love that you guys have these interviews. It's all connected. Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Master all four elements and become the next avatar. In all seriousness I am going to share this with my kids. Most of it will probably go right over their heads now, but I hope they can come back in the future and learn from this.

[@amscheid7]

Awesome episode! I took the quiz and I’m an owl which is totally spot on. I love that you guys see the importance of bettering the body AND the MIND. 💪

[@KoinoniaTube]

Mind and body, body and mind

[@janessah8684]

Completed my first set of barbell squats this week and am actually excited for the next workout and more weight. The Superbundle would be a huge help for the best guidance! I'm finally down almost 20 pounds and my scale weight starts with 2 instead of 3xx! Between the physical workout and the knowledge, improving my health has actually been fun since listening go you all, plus @MissFitAndNerdy and @drmarkhyman 🎉❤

[@kidtorres5618]

Beautiful episode #2207

[@ryanluce9864]

"The most important thing is to keep the most important things the most important thing!" gotta love that.. Was a great episode to listen to had to take notes to look back on. Love that this is a wellness pod they focus on all areas of staying well cant recommend this podcast to enough people.

[@claymonaro68]

I have two books on my coffee table, Limitless and The Resistance training revolution while I watch this episode on tv. You guys have changed my life in the best way, mind and body improving day buy day

[@jamesbondinspector]

Mind Pump You guys have changed my life! In the last 18 months. In 2/22, I lost my wife of 20 years. At 57, I found myself at nearly 400 pounds and in terrible shape having been her caregiver for 10 years. I have since lost 110 pounds and have watched my body transformed from a couch potato to a developing muscular frame. I’m so thankful for your channel! You guys rock!

[@MindPumpShow]

@jamesbondinspector Winner! Please email Ann [e-mail] with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up!

[@jamesbondinspector]

@@MindPumpShow OMG! I didn’t know what the prize was and I was shocked to see it was the Super Bundle. That is incredible. You guys are awesome! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

[@jamesfuller2561]

Amen Sal that's exactly how I felt in school! I love learning now. 😊

[@thedigitalmediateacher5544]

Thank you guys for this episode! I'm a little bit in tears listening to it. I'm a school teacher and I want to not fail my students and also I have a son who really struggles in school and so I just felt this whole-heartedly!!

[@MGaona82]

Great episode, guys. My wife is always playing mind games on her phone to keep her critical thinking at a great level. I can't wait to get his book Limitless to help me out. Thanks as always, gents!

[@mattjackson8308]

Another awesome guest! thank you guys to opening our eyes to EVERY aspect of health. these podcast really help me think about every aspect of my life and recalibrate daily. thank you for that!

[@AyoPimpcess]

[@MindPumpShow]

You're the best!

[@paige1487]

Wow well this episode was emotional for me, didn’t expect that one. I did take the quiz, I am an owl which really surprised me. Obviously I need to get this book now hmmm

[@Sweet_T316]

When you're out of your comfort zone, there is growth. If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!

[@janfauzt]

My brain just got optimized by listing to this episode!

[@haletx2amehk]

This is an amazing episode. Thank you

[@stevenestrada8908]

Limitless changed the way I read books.

[@MindPumpShow]

👍

[@jacquie11a]

Loved this episode! Ordered the book and can’t wait to read it! I’m hoping I can share everything I learn with my children.

[@hellewindelv-lidzelius6998]

Thanks for a super-great episode! I appreciate so much that you guys chose to bring on so much great content! I will have my teenager daugter listen to it as she is having a hard time in school beating herself up with believing that she has to ‘understand in a special way’ - and her way is not like everyone else - and that is precious and I try to tell her that. I think this episode will help her understand that she is unique just the way she is and that there are just as many ways to learn and understand as there are people on this planet. Jim Kwik’s book ‘Limitless’ will be waiting for her under the Christmas tree this year that’s for sure 🎄👌! Thank you - so valuable 👏👏👏!

[@ZenobiaRice]

Love the idea of grouping brain types by animals. Can’t wait to take this test with my kids.

[@MindPumpShow]

Go for it!

[@gkmaz4030]

Yes. I remember those reading around the room in class days with some PTSD. That makes so much sense. I turned down doing a reading in a wedding because of my issue. I think I’m better now, but let’s not find out. 😂

[@kane6529]

Love everything Mindpump! I think it’s amazing you guys are looking at all aspects of health and wellness! Just finished the quiz and my brain code is Cheetah 🐆

[@brendawatson7666]

I am an Owl 🦉 and it is accurate.. I am the queen of spreadsheets and my catch phrase is “show me the data!”

[@MindPumpShow]

Nice!

[@lilzimmy3]

I would love to try out one or more of your programs🙌🏼

[@MindPumpShow]

Entered!

[@user-sh8we8pw1r]

Came out owl but I could very easily came out dolphin. I was constantly struggling between answers that would pull me either way.

[@Alilouisa]

Justin muttering “there’s a lot of D in here huh?” Made me snort water out of my nose. Thanks. Don’t laugh & drink out of a water bottle at the same time kids.

[@sf-hk4ew]

I feel like I'm all 4 of them in some respects.

No way I'm a Cheetah. I didn't find Mind Pump fast enough. 😏

[@MindPumpShow]

😂

[@zeroflaw]

Im thinking this guy could help my wife. She is struggling to pass the cert exams for becoming a teacher.

[@glenchaos9]

So, he just made his own version of Sleep Chronotypes 😂

[@Murmurrr]

legit thought this guy was a convict in the thumbnail

[@MindPumpShow]

😂

[@HughLeFitness]

Hope I win.

[@CrazedCorgi]

I'm a Cheetah, not sure if I agree with that.

[@leonardwimbley7948]

Very rarely do i see a guest and make this face 😮

[@jimmyvillanueva1252]

I really enjoyed this topic. It made me realize how I was able to overcome some obstacles. P x E x SSS is the key. Thank you.
