My next guest, Trevor Ragan, Founder of Train Ugly has a BA in
Sociology. He is on an adventure to discover and share the
science of growth and development.


He has done workshops with groups from all over the world. He has
worked with Fortune 500 companies, Major league Baseball Teams,
Olympic teams, 100's of schools and even a few prisons.


Like he describes it “He seeks out the scientists and thought
leaders in the world of development, consume their research and
discoveries. He connects the dots and shares with anyone who will
listen. I was one of those who wanted to learn.”


I discovered Train Ugly through his excellent descriptive videos
in my own research. He displays powerful diagrams and animations
about the mind and learning. Trevor's videos have over 500,000
downloads


Here are some comments from a couple of people


Thanks Trevor,


One of the best emails I've received in 2015 and undoubtedly the
best article I've read. I've just shared it with all the coaching
staff at West Bromwich Albion. Thanks! and keep up all the work.
