Tiago Forte Talks About Building a Second Brain and Personal Knowledge Management

Hi, I'm Thiago Forte and I'm about to have a productive conversation with Mike Marty. Welcome to a productive conversation. I'm Mike Barty. and I am presenting a special flashback Friday episode for episode 560. And it's a revisitation of my conversation with Tiago Forte, who is the author of Building a Second Brain, and I'm revisiting it at this time just a couple of weeks after returning from the Second Brain Summit, which I was invited to be part of. So huge thanks to Tiago and his team for inviting me down there to take part in it. It was just great to be around people that

uh kind of I think similarly to me and are you know geeky about this kind of stuff as well. It was great to see old friends in person for the first time in a long time. Stacey Harman, Thomas Frank, uh several others, uh, Nathan uh Barry from from Kit, formerly known as Convert Kit, Alexis from uh Circle, Haley also from Kit, plenty of other people that I have not seen in person in quite some time, as well as meeting some people for the first time ever in person, although chatting with them online beforehand, like Danny Hatcher as an example, the folks behind Ample Note and the folks behind Morgan and that sort of thing. It was just really cool to be part of that experience. Not sure if Tiago's gonna do another edition of it, but uh we'll link to it in the show notes so that way you can check it out. Tiago's obviously released uh part Para the book Para since then, uh since the Building a Second Brain book came out and he's been very, very uh busy with lots of things going on. It's one of those things where when you finally get to hang out with someone and and chat with them after getting to know them a little bit better. You just see how

how earnest and how uh much this this kind of work means to Tiago. And how impactful. that not only uh does he realize that his work has been, but also how he continues to want to make an impact. Uh, not just in terms of delivering uh great content, but also putting together amazing experiences. Again, big thanks to Tiago for inviting me to the second brain summit. Again, I'll put a link to that in the show notes. And uh again, without further ado, let's get back to this conversation that I had with Tiago two years ago, November of twenty twenty two, uh, where we talk about building a second brain. Again, thanks for being part of this and enjoy this conversation, a flashback Friday edition of the podcast with Tiago Forte.
