About this episode

Today I'm joined by Nelson Dellis, a 6 time USA memory champion, and one of the most accomplished memory athletes in the world. He's held several memory records, including memorizing the most names in 15 minutes, 235 in total. And memorizing a shuffle deck of cards in just 36 seconds.Which is impressive because I can't remember what I ate for breakfast this morning. These are Nelson's three rules for success and happiness.
