Day 4: Creatives & Creators, The Future of Entertainment? with Nick Milo

Nick Milo has spent the last 15 years using digital notes to create and grow a fitness boxing into an international company, produce two independent feature films, and become a TV and film editor. Most importantly, as he shares in his website, his use of digital notes helps him calm his thoughts and make better sense of the world.

He has tested and stretched the limits of linked notes in the real world from the fitness industry to the film industry, the football field to civil engineering, strength training to the boxing ring, public speaking to content creation and learned that being effective at managing knowledge is a superpower—and linking your thinking supercharges it.

Today, he teaches through his educational site, Linking Your Thinking, the frameworks to unlock your ability to work with ideas in a way that is fast, flexible, and future-proof.
