Hi, I'm Nick Milo.

I’ve spent the last 17+ years using digital notes to create and grow a fitness boxing into an international company, produce two independent feature films, become a TV and film editor, and—perhaps most importantly—to calm my thoughts and make better sense of the world around me.

I’ve 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 🎨

What I’ve learned is this: Being effective at managing knowledge is a superpower—and linking your thinking supercharges it.

The frameworks I teach can unlock your ability to work with ideas in a way that is fast, flexible, and future-proof. I’ve taught thousands of people with great results. That's because these principles are flexible enough for you to shape to your personal needs—no matter what you want to do.
