In today’s episode of the Brains Byte Back podcast, we speak with Mark Herschberg, Creator of Brain Bump, an app that helps you retain what you read and hear, and an MIT Instructor.
To kick off the show, Sam opens up about how he was interested in Herschberg’s initial message to him, where he advocated that “we invest time reading and listening but it's inefficient. This is because where we read information isn't where we need information.”
On this topic, Herschberg explains in greater detail how there is a learning disconnect that often occurs when people consume information in one context but need to apply it in another.
He then goes on to highlight the challenge of remembering valuable information from books or podcasts when it's needed most.
To address this issue, Herschberg created Brain Bump, an app that provides just-in-time information access. It condenses key ideas from books, blogs, podcasts, classes, and talks into concise tip cards.
Users can easily search for specific content tags, making it convenient to retrieve relevant information when needed. The app also sends daily notifications at a user's preferred time, serving as a reminder of key concepts.
Herschberg also goes on to clarify the difference between Brain Bump and book summary apps like Blinkist, advocating that while Blinkist offers simplified summaries of books, Brain Bump aims to complement various types of content, helping users better retain the information they have already consumed.
Additionally, for the content creators in the audience, Herschberg shares tips on how you can produce work that sticks in the memories of your audience.
And finally, Herschberg talks about one of his latest articles “ChatGPT is Just a Calculator . . . Crossed with a Nuclear Reactor” and shares his predictions of what we can see develop from this technology, alongside what technology currently excites him.
