Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and boy do I have an epic episode for you today.

Out of all the episodes I have done, I feel as if tho this episode encapsulates what this show is about the best. And I highly recommend listening to the entire episode.

Today I am joined by Dr Justin Sung. Dr Justin is a former medical doctor turned to learn coach. He's passionate about helping people use genuinely effective learning strategies that work for everyone, not just a few high achievers. Unlike in medicine where your practice has to be tied to research, he realised how the common practices by schools and students weren't as evidence-based as they were hyped to be.

He also saw how this directly caused stress, demotivation, procrastination, and anxiety for students who kept putting in effort and didn't see results. Since 2011, Justin has worked with over 10,000 students across over 100 countries. He's the co-founder of iCanStudy, an organisation that specialises in learning skills, and is involved in novel research at Monash University, looking at the effectiveness and efficiency of learning strategies.

In this episode we cover his journey in becoming a doctor, what it was like when he quit medicine, the different types of learning and how we can learn effectively. his opinions on the modern education system, growing to 100k on Youtube and much much more.
