Welcome back to the Mike Dillard podcast where we help entrepreneurs like you get the knowledge and skills that you need to bring your dreams to life.

Question for you. Have you ever walked into a social event and introduced yourself to somebody only to realize that you've forgotten what they said and forgotten their name just seconds later.

I know that has happened to me many, many times, many more than I would care to admit,

and it's an absolutely horrible feeling. Have you ever been in a meeting, giving a presentation,

or on a phone call where you need to remember specific details and numbers,

statistics, but your mind just goes blank and you cannot recall the information that you need.

I have been there as well. Well, today I have the privilege of introducing you to Chester Santos.

Chester is one of the world's foremost authorities when it comes to memory. And today he's going to teach

you how to remember anything that is important to you forever. He's been a speaker at TED and

Google. He has been invited to share his knowledge with millions of people around the world

through appearances on CNN, ABC, NBC, and the Science Channel. And what's really interesting about today's interview is that he

used me as a guinea pig. So after teaching me his system live on this call, he took me through

an incredible challenge that demonstrated the power of his methodology in real time.

Within just a few minutes, I had to memorize a series of 15 random words

and then recall them in order, both backwards and forwards. Did it work? Did I make it? Well,

please help me welcome the international man of memory, and let's find out. Chester Santos,

welcome to the podcast.

I am really looking forward to this interview today.

Thanks for joining us.

Thank you so much for having me, Mike.

I'm really looking forward to this as well.

So you are known as the international man of memory.
