·1 hr 1 min·4 clips
CODE stands for Capture, Organize, Distill, and Express—the creative process every medium uses.
As heard by us
Tiago Forte makes note-taking feel like a creative practice, with distillation as its most demanding and valuable move.
Tiago Forte frames the second-brain method as a creative workspace, not a digital storage bin. The episode traces how that view took shape, from a family of artists to a system built around chosen, well-curated material refined until its meaning is clear at a glance.
Why you'd press play
Step into Tiago Forte's Second Brain as a chosen playground for ideas, with Evernote as his main app and distillation as the slow spark.
