Claim: deliberately applying the Feynman technique turns struggling study into measurable progress. Details: a yearlong practice of 52 weekly topics backed by a blank notebook, plain-language explanations and diagrams, then iterating into a blog podcast and video series. Tools and time: notes, drawings, recordings and roughly 22 hours per topic for deep iterations. Result: an audience forms and resources scale; gaps become actionable tasks and explanations actually help others learn.
