GUEST BIOJordan Harry joins us in the lab to talk about the most important piece of real estate one can own. Jordan and his company coaches people for improving their reading speed, memory and public speaking.He was 10 years old when he had a speech impediment that made him struggle with public speaking and reading. Since then he’s turned what was once a challenge into a unique strength. He is now an international public speaker and the CEO of StudyFast - a company that transforms the way you learn and is now teaching more than 20,000 people from different countries across the Globe. Jordan Harry is well known for his Ted talk on ‘how to read a book a day’ with more than 2 million views. He is more than qualified considering he reads seven times faster than the average reader (1,500 words per minute).With recent features at BBC, Virgin Startup, Santander and Metro, we are so honored to have him step into the lab today and talk about the most important piece of real estate we all own - the brain and the mindset to surpass our challenges and current performance.
