Welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

Have you ever walked into a room to get something only to forget why you walked into that

room in the first place?

Do you constantly forget where you parked your car in a parking garage?

Or do you have trouble remembering people's names?

Well, after today's episode, you'll be well on your way to never forgetting these things

again, because my guest today is Champion Memory Athlete Nelson Delos and he's got plenty

of advice on how to improve your own memory, even if you think your stinks.

Nelson is the author of the book Remember It, and we begin our show discussing the world

of memory competitions, how Nelson got involved with them, and what records he's notched

so far.

Nelson then corrects a couple common myths people have about memory and makes the case

for why you had to care about improving your own.

He shares the overarching system he recommends to improve your ability to retain information

and how to use it to remember where you parked your car, people's names, and the items

on your to-do list.

Nelson also explains the reason we forget what we walked into a certain room to get, and

what to do if that happens to you.

He then walks us through how walking through a memory palace can help you remember lists,

speeches, and more.

Plenty of action ready, easy to remember tips in the show after it's over, check out our
