#195: Tricks For Sharpening Your Mind And Improving Your Memory

<p>If you're like me, you have the memory of a goldfish. Today's episode is all about one question: Is your brain a muscle? I'm joined by Memory Coach and TikTok sensation Josh McCartney to answer these questions and many others. We talk about how you can sharpen your memory and improve your ability to remember names, numbers and pretty much anything else. Josh also teaches me some of his most popular brain training techniques - so you'll learn how to remember names, recall numbers, and memorise facts quickly. If that sounds hokey to you, I was sceptical when interviewing him, but what Josh taught me REALLY helped me improve my memory. This may be one of the most interesting episodes yet, with Josh sharing some truly epic tricks to enhance your memory.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Discussion points</strong></p> <p>02:52 Memory and age</p> <p>04:42 Getting things off the tip of your tongue</p> <p>08:15 How to train your brain</p> <p>12:15 Remembering names</p> <p>14:20 Mental health and memory</p> <p>20:13 Josh’s typical clients</p> <p>21:26 Memorising a speech</p> <p>25:57 Memory test</p> <p>32:55 Getting others to memorize things</p> <p>38:37 Recalling a spreadsheet with numbers on it</p> <p>43:43 Remembering your P&L</p> <p>47:25 Recalling many names at once</p> <p>48:60 Competing memory</p> <p>50:21 Does improving your memory have an age limit?</p> <p>51:38 Poor memories and societal problems</p> <p>52:34 Memories and animals</p> <p>53:30 Social media</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Show Sponsors:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://smartkas.com/">Smartkas</a>: Providing food security as a service</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/najahievents/?hl=en">Najahi Events</a>: The UAE’s leading event promotor</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong></p> <p><strong>Spencer Lodge</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/</a></p
