  • Was Black Panther Racist? A Surprising Answer with Dr. Sheena Howard

    Was Black Panther Racist? A Surprising Answer with Dr. Sheena Howard
    2026/03/24
    A Note from James:This is why I love doing podcasts—talking to people like Dr. Sheena Howard, author of Why Wakanda Matters. Wakanda is the country where Black Panther is from, and Sheena has written extensively about comics, including work on Black Panther itself.We talk about comics, race, and storytelling. I asked a question I was almost afraid to ask—whether the Black Panther movie was racist against other Black people—and she gave a surprising answer. We also talk about a time she was abducted in Jamaica, along with a lot of other topics.I loved this conversation. Please listen. Episode Description:James sits down with Dr. Sheena Howard—scholar, comic book writer, and Eisner Award winner—for a conversation that moves between pop culture, publishing, and personal survival.They use Black Panther as a lens to examine how stories shape identity, how representation evolves, and why cultural narratives are often filtered through systems that weren’t built to support them. Sheena breaks down the tension between nationalism and isolationism in Wakanda, and why audiences interpret the same story in radically different ways.The conversation also goes deeper—into how gatekeeping works in publishing today, how creators can bypass it, and why building your own audience may be the most reliable path forward.And then there’s the story she didn’t tell for years: being abducted at 19. What happened, why she stayed silent, and what it reveals about psychology, fear, and resilience.This episode is about storytelling—but also about control: who has it, who doesn’t, and how to take it back.What You’ll Learn:Why “Black superheroes don’t sell” is a myth—and how the industry perpetuates it anywayThe real gatekeeping mechanism in publishing today (and why audience ownership matters more than ever)How subtle bias shows up now—not in obvious barriers, but in shifting goalpostsWhat makes a story resonate across audiences (and why Black Panther worked at scale)The psychology of abusive situations—and how awareness and boundaries are built over timeTimestamped Chapters:[03:04] A Note from James[03:53] Favorite Superheroes: From Captain America to Black Panther[04:27] Why Black Panther Connected Culturally[04:43] The $1.2B Question: Why So Late for Black Superheroes?[05:17] Luke Cage, Netflix, and the “Myth” That Black Stories Don’t Sell[05:39] Tyler Perry and the “Outlier” Problem[06:23] Pressure on Black-Led Films to Be Perfect[07:00] What Wakanda Represents (Uncolonized Possibility)[07:53] Killmonger: Anger, Oppression, and Relatability[08:23] MLK vs. Malcolm X Parallel in Black Panther[09:00] Identity Formation: African vs. African American Perspectives[09:47] Are Black Superheroes Designed to “Feel Safe”?[10:28] Gentrification, Stereotypes, and Media Influence[11:50] Media Isn’t “Just Entertainment”[12:00] Early Representation and Cultural Messaging[12:28] Who Created Black Panther—and Why That Matters[13:07] Rewriting History: What Would She Change?[13:49] Designing a Modern Black Superhero[14:47] Why a Modern Hero Might Be “Invisible”[15:44] Publishing Barriers and Gatekeeping Conversations[16:36] Social Media vs. Traditional Publishing Access[17:26] Building 163K Followers—and Still Not Enough[21:47] The Instagram Post: “I Was Abducted at 19”[22:11] How It Started: Cheap Tour, No Money, Bad Decision[23:05] The Trap: Locked House and Escalation[25:00] Refusal and Survival Strategy[26:02] Car Crash and Escape Attempt[27:00] Walking Away and Getting Home[28:30] Why She Stayed Silent for Years[29:20] Abusive Relationships and Self-Blame[30:26] Leaving Abuse: The Role of Her Son[31:06] Love Bombing and Early Warning Signs[33:02] Recognizing Red Flags in Relationships[35:45] Teaching Kids Boundaries and Self-Worth[37:21] “Is Wakanda Racist?”—The Big Question[38:00] Nationalism vs. Racism Explained[39:00] Isolationism vs. Imperialism[41:00] Why Some Black Superheroes Don’t Break Out[43:00] The Loss (and Survival) of Great Storytelling[46:14] How She Got Hired by Marvel (Cold Email + PI)[48:29] Why Pitching Ideas to Marvel Often Fails[50:00] Cold Outreach: Being Seen Before Heard[52:00] Do You Need Social Media to Sell Books?

  • The Skills School Never Taught You - Train Your Brain with Jim Kwik

    The Skills School Never Taught You - Train Your Brain with Jim Kwik
    2026/03/20
    Episode DescriptionThis archival conversation with Jim Kwik moves beyond memory tricks and into something more fundamental: how we think, learn, and make decisions.Jim breaks down why most people forget nearly everything they read, why repeating the same mistakes isn’t always about logic, and how modern life is quietly degrading attention and memory. He explains how the brain filters information, how habits form, and why focus—not intelligence—is often the real differentiator.James pushes the conversation into practical territory: decision-making, fear, performance, and building a life around what actually matters. Together, they explore frameworks for improving memory, reducing distraction, and making better choices—along with the deeper idea that learning is the core skill behind everything else.This episode isn’t just about remembering more. It’s about thinking better.What You’ll LearnWhy most people remember only 1–2% of what they read—and how to improve retentionThe difference between reading speed, comprehension, and retention (and why all three matter)How the brain acts as a filtering and deletion system, not a storage deviceA practical framework for decision-making using multiple mental perspectives (Six Thinking Hats)How digital overload, distraction, and “digital dementia” are weakening focus and memoryWhy habits—not knowledge—drive performance, and how to build them using motivation, ability, and triggersThe four traits behind high performance: growth, grit, giving, and gratitudeTimestamped Chapters[02:00] Introduction to Jim Kwik and memory training[02:29] Why people forget what they read[03:09] Reading vs comprehension vs retention[03:50] The importance of remembering love, life, and lessons[04:25] Why people repeat the same mistakes[05:05] Emotional memory vs logical memory[06:29] Blame vs responsibility in reducing stress[07:11] The brain as a filtering and deletion device[08:17] Why we remember only 1–2% of books[08:24] The Zeigarnik Effect explained[10:15] Note-taking: handwriting vs typing[11:17] Learning through rewriting and modeling[12:18] Decision-making and simplifying life[13:40] Maker time vs manager time[17:33] Why you shouldn’t check your phone in the morning[18:06] Brainwave states: alpha, beta, and focus[19:00] Jim Kwik’s high-performance clients[20:25] Childhood brain injury and learning challenges[21:08] Knowledge as power in the modern economy[22:09] Decision-making and outside perspectives[23:22] The Six Thinking Hats framework[26:46] Decision-making through perspective shifts[28:40] Facing fear and building confidence[30:33] Digital overload and information fatigue[31:17] Social media and comparison psychology[33:11] Fear, rejection, and self-worth[34:20] Overcoming learning and public speaking fears[35:02] “Your mess becomes your message”[36:24] Jim Kwik’s turning point and learning journey[38:15] Discovering how to learn[40:03] Deep immersion vs spaced learning[41:34] Speed reading breakthrough moment[42:33] Digital overload, distraction, and dementia[44:02] Why checking your phone rewires your brain[45:17] Outsourcing memory vs training your brain[47:00] Busyness vs productivity[48:18] Biological decision-making and intuition[49:03] Sleep deprivation and performance[52:00] Post-traumatic growth vs stress[53:00] Learning to say no and focus[54:27] Essentialism: “Hell yes or hell no”[55:14] Applying the Six Thinking Hats to real decisions[58:15] What school fails to teach[59:09] Building a career from learning challenges[01:01:00] First teaching experience and entrepreneurship[01:03:00] Overcoming fear of public speaking[01:08:39] Turning knowledge into income[01:10:00] The power of learning as a superpower[01:11:30] Finding what to learn and why[01:12:52] Growth mindset and learning from failure[01:13:34] The four Gs: growth, grit, giving, gratitude[01:15:12] Building grit through discomfort[01:17:19] Why fundamentals matter more than new ideas[01:18:22] Habit formation: motivation, ability, trigger[01:20:00] Time, priorities, and skill-building[01:23:40] Focus vs intelligence[01:24:27] Learning through teaching[01:25:25] High-performance mindset examples[01:27:25] Jim Carrey and freeing people from concern[01:29:58] “I don’t get ready, I stay ready”[01:32:00] Building daily habits for performance[01:33:00] Giving mindset and learning faster[01:34:01] Teaching as a tool for mastery[01:36:00] Gratitude as a performance tool[01:38:00] Health, energy, and peak performance[01:41:00] Bringing it all together: love, life, and lessonsAdditional ResourcesJim Kwik — https://www.kwikbrain.comKwik Brain Podcast — https://www.kwikbrain.com/pages/podcastLimitless by Jim Kwik — https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401958230podcastThe Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle — https://www.amazon.com/dp/1577314808Thinking, Fast and Slow (decision-making reference context) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0374533555How to Win Friends and Influence ...

  • How to Improve Memory & Delay Alzheimer's with Nelson Dellis

    How to Improve Memory & Delay Alzheimer's with Nelson Dellis
    2026/03/17
    A Note from James:I talked to Nelson Dellis, who’s a six-time USA Memory Champion and has broken multiple Guinness World Records. His book, Everyday Genius, makes a pretty bold claim—that with some practice and the right techniques, you can dramatically improve how your brain works.We didn’t just talk about memory. We got into everything: mental math, focus, cold reading, even some techniques that feel almost like magic. And I’ve done a lot of episodes on memory over the years—but Nelson showed me things I hadn’t seen before.What stood out to me is this idea that “genius” isn’t some fixed trait. It’s a collection of skills you can build. Some of them are surprisingly simple once you understand how your brain actually works.I’m definitely going to spend more time practicing some of these techniques. There’s a lot here that’s immediately useful—and a lot that could take years to master.Episode Description:James sits down with world memory champion Nelson Dellis to break down what memory really is—and how far it can be pushed.Nelson explains how his grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s led him into the world of memory training, eventually becoming one of the best in the world. From memorizing thousands of digits to competing in global competitions, he shows that memory is not a fixed trait—it’s a skill.The conversation goes beyond memory into focus, reading, learning, and even social intelligence. Nelson shares practical techniques for improving recall, reading faster without losing comprehension, and using visualization to retain more information.They also explore the edge cases—cold reading, intuition, and even experiments with “remote viewing”—where perception and cognition blur into something that feels almost supernatural.At its core, this episode is about expanding what you believe your brain is capable of.What You’ll Learn:Why memory is a trainable skill—not something you’re born withHow visualization and emotional context dramatically improve recallThe difference between “speed reading” and “focus reading”Simple techniques to retain more from books and conversationsHow cold reading works (and why it feels like magic)Why reviewing information—not cramming—is key to long-term memoryThe mental habits that create the appearance of “genius”How attention and focus are becoming rare—and valuable—skillsTimestamped Chapters:00:02:00 – Nelson’s origin story: Alzheimer’s and the motivation to master memory 00:02:16 – Why reading is like living thousands of lives 00:03:13 – Introducing Everyday Genius and the promise of trainable intelligence 00:04:33 – Memory palace techniques and applying them to real-world skills 00:05:13 – Can memory training help prevent Alzheimer’s? 00:06:13 – Daily memory training routines and measurable progress 00:08:16 – From beginner to USA Memory Champion 00:10:00 – Memorizing 10,000 digits of pi: how it actually works 00:11:31 – Turning numbers into stories: the core of memory systems 00:14:28 – Why emotion and visualization drive memory 00:16:00 – Memory competition benchmarks and world-class performance 00:18:00 – What “genius” actually means—and how to simulate it 00:20:00 – The four pillars: memory, reading, focus, and learning 00:23:33 – Speed reading vs. focus reading (and why most people get it wrong) 00:25:12 – The finger-tracking technique to instantly read faster 00:27:16 – Why you don’t need to read every word 00:30:17 – Why cramming fails (and how memory actually forms) 00:31:17 – Visualization while reading: turning text into a movie 00:34:00 – Active recall, note-taking, and long-term retention systems 00:37:16 – Cold reading and social intelligence 00:41:00 – Body language cues: attention, interest, and perception 00:43:00 – How mentalists create the illusion of mind reading 00:46:00 – Psychological “forcing” and influencing choices 00:51:00 – Remote viewing experiments and cognitive edge cases Additional ResourcesEveryday Genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem Solving and Much MoreSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
