What's the best way for people to retain information - I had an interesting conversation with a founder that people's attention span is becoming quite short due to technology being able to provide instant gratification and even digesting information needs to change. Look at TikTok for example.

Video for me. I watch a lot of long form (10-30min) education videos.

Podcasts. I can walk, run, workout, etc., while listening to the episode. Podcasts proved to be one of the best sources of information for me personally.
@oksana_ch I find it's super useful but it's extremely crowded. It's all content driven. But agree the accessibility to listen is amazing.
Well, maybe it also depends on what kind of knowledge we are looking for.
Podcasts can provide us with an overview of many general topics, but to go deeper into them, we need to have something in-depth like newsletters, or books etc.
What do you think?
I think email is a good option.
Newsletter. It's kinda like my daily routines now.
It totally depends on your niche. For example, If you want to read about technology then tech planet is a good option and If you want to read about first aid then actfastmed https://actfastmed.com/ is one of the best option for you.
Shorts on social media are great. So many people scroll through Insta..TikTok.. Also helps that the videos are short.
socials for me.
