“Test out what you're learning – as soon as you can.”

Greetings, SuperFriends!
Today, we have a very special treat for you. For the second time in the history of this show, we are graced by the presence of a certified Grandmaster of Memory – Mark Channon. In fact, he was one of the first people in the world to earn that certification, way back in 1995.
For over 15 years, Mark has worked as a memory trainer and coach, working with students of all ages. He’s also the author of the books How To Remember Anything, Improve Your Memory, and The Memory Workbook.
In this episode, we talk about mnemonic techniques, memory training and some powerful ways they can be applied in your own life.

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! 🙂
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldn’t make out the doctor’s name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
Thank you.
