Why Your Body Learns But Your Mind Just Understands with Chris Majer

What if the reason your leadership training never sticks has nothing to do with the quality of the program? Chris Majer—who's trained everyone from U.S. Special Forces to Microsoft executives—reveals the uncomfortable truth: understanding happens instantly, but your body only learns through practice. And practice takes time.

Why do most adults never actually learn anything new? We're more committed to being comfortable than to changing. Majer shares the exact moment executives realize they've been "practicing being bad" at their own skills, what happened when he put a Fortune 500 leader on a 40-foot pole, and why his flagship program takes nine months instead of two days.

Here's what nobody tells you about AI implementation, risk-taking, and breakthrough performance: you can't teach what you haven't experienced yourself.

Ready to stop confusing understanding with competence? Tune in to this episode to discover why "impossible" is just a limitation you've invented, and what shifts when you push one step beyond your edge.
