MyGuru founder Mark Skoskiewicz and special guests discus ideas and explore strategies for improving academic performance and scores on standardized tests, without discussing any specific math, science, or English concepts. So, what’s this podcast about? Topics will include the grossly underestimated power of practice (i.e., doing homework, completing practice tests, showing up to class, working with experts to get help, etc.) relative to raw intelligence (we’ll discuss how intelligence, in fact, isn’t something you “have” it’s something you “build” over time), the impact of confidence, motivation and inspiration, the power of having the right mindset, and foundational topics like time management and organization skills. We’ll offer specific tips on how to study smarter, not necessarily harder, using powerful new “deep practice” techniques.
