"Taking the invisible and making it visible. That's what creatives do. They use their superpower of imagination."\nJim Kwik found himself on a private flight surrounded with the cast of the new X-Men movie.\n\nThat's the kind of thing that can happen when you unlock your super powers. But he wasn't always like that...\n\nGrowing up Jim had a hard time reading. He failed spelling bs and he had to work 10 times as hard as the other kids just to pass tests. He was always falling behind and recurring head injuries didn't help. Until one day after recovering from yet another injury, he became facinated with the way the mind works.\n\nNow Jim works with top celebrities to maximize thier mind power. He dives deep into sensory deprivation caves, hikes around deep amazonian rain-forests and takes wild trips on zero gravity machines. He's got a picture of him standing next to every top celebrity that you dream of meeting.\n\nHow did all this happen for a kid who grew up not knowing how to read?\n\nYou can learn all that and more on this 26th episode of ShopTalk Radio.\n"You want to change your life?
