Great to find a exiting Podcast about the “First 20 hour” while waiting for the Pre-ordered book by Josh Kaufman. I published a small post at my Blog couple of weeks back about the book for our readers and the people are just waiting get the book on their hands.

If anyone haven’t seen the TEX talk Josh gave, I highly advice to watch it here: http://www.fernandobiz.com/how-to-learn-anything-fast/

Would like to hear anyone from what are the new skills they haven acquired so far under a very short time? I used the similar technique to learn Aggressive Inline Skating under 20 hours of deliberate practicing several months back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi4hkvSQsis :)
