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

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.   Discussion points 02:52 Memory and age 04:42 Getting things off the tip of your tongue 08:15 How to train your brain 12:15 Remembering names 14:20 Mental health and memory 20:13 Josh’s typical clients 21:26 Memorising a speech 25:57 Memory test 32:55 Getting others to memorize things 38:37 Recalling a spreadsheet with numbers on it 43:43 Remembering your P&L 47:25 Recalling many names at once 48:60 Competing memory 50:21 Does improving your memory have an age limit? 51:38 Poor memories and societal problems 52:34 Memories and animals 53:30 Social media   Show Sponsors: Smartkas: Providing food security as a service Najahi Events: The UAE’s leading event promotor   Socials: Spencer Lodge https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/ https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV   Josh McCartney https://www.instagram.com/joshmccartneyofficial/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@memorycoach
