Kirsty Dunphey Interviews Me in TASMANIA!!

Okay, so you thought the Tasmanian devil was just a cartoon? Well, okay it is…but a Tasmanian Devil is also a REAL animal!! I had no clue…that is until I taught a memory seminar in Tasmania (island just off the southern coast of mainland Australia). When I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2007, I had the good fortune to become introduce to Kirsty Dunphey via email. She had purchased my Memory in a Month CD album. We corresponded while I was deployed and when I returned to the USA she sent me an email asking if I could speak for her group in Tasmania.

TASMANIAN DEVIL :)

Now the odds of me saying yes to this request would normally be low because that is 20 hours of flying one way to give a memory training talk. Yet, the stars lined up and coincidentally I was scheduled to give a memory training talk in Melbourne just 2 days after her event. So because of my good fortune I was able to meet with Kirsty and be a memory speaker for her group. Not only that here is the interview we conducted literally 30 minutes before my talk.

During my talk I also met the founder of Contiki Tours, John Anderson who was an incredible delight to speak with and get to know. Oddly enough in 2010 I was in an elevator in Sydney and guess who was on it with me? John Anderson!! What a GREAT guy. You need to get his book ‘Only 2 Seats Left’.

Here is the interview I did with Kirsty. Now in the interview I state I can memorize a 2000 digit number in one hour. In full disclosure I have never done this and may never be able to. I am not currently at that level. When I gave this interview I was training to do this at the World Memory Championship but I was never able to pull it off. Instead, I memorized an 800 digit number in an hour. Still impressive but short of my goal. With that disclosure out there here is the interview…

By the way, if you like the video it would help me out if you CLICK LIKE…the more people that CLICK LIKE the higher it gets in the ratings. Thanks in advance :)

The Hardest Part of the Memory Guy’s Job

What it is hardest part of the memory guys job?

Memorizing stuff? Nah….that is fun and over 20 years I have just gotten faster and better.

Being a two time USA Memory Champion? Well….yeah…that was pretty tough :)

Speaking in front of a group? Nope…enjoy that as well. I am more comfortable in front of 3,000 than I am 3. (seriously)

Getting speaking engagements/business? Well….that isn’t an easy thing to do in any business but luckily for me I have stuck in the same career for 20 years and have tons and tons of contacts and repeat business.

The toughest part of my job is convincing people that I don’t have a natural ability to memorize names or numbers. When they see things like I did here on the CBS Early show (below). They think…’WOW! This guy must have been memorizing French when he was 4 and playing the piano by 5.’ Not even close. I was a very normal student growing up.

 

So what do I attribute my ability to? I won’t suggest to you that I was a bad student or dumb student but I also don’t think I have some special memory aibility that the average person doesn’t have. Frankly, I have close friends who have better memories than me. They remind me, ‘Remember this person from high school?’ I think…’Nope.’

I put it this way – Do you think you could learn to speak a foreign language fluently if you practiced it every day at least 20 minutes for a year? I think most people would agree that they could. There may be a case where some pick it up easier than others but for the most part a person who practices 20 minutes per day for a year could get very very very good. That is all I have done. I have become fluent in the language of memory.

But getting back to it – Do I have some special ability?  No, I don’t think I do. Yet, if I am to compromise a little with the people who suggest that my ability is the result of a natural memory and not memory training I would bend a little and say that if I have a special ability it is my work ethic. When I find a project (such as memory training) to work on my mind really wraps around it and it is hard to shake me off that focus.

So, my answer is that if there is some special ability it isn’t my memory it lies in the fact that I worked at developing my memory so diligently with good old memory training techniques. I do believe ANYONE can improve their memory….anyone.

Review of Memory in a Month – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Okay, now how often is it that someone writes a review of their OWN product and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly :)

Well, this is Ron White memory guy and I am going to write a very honest and candid review of my Memory in a Month program. Every word below I believe to be 100% the truth and yes, I realize I make my living selling this product but her are my candid thoughts I would tell my best friend if we were having dinner.

The good - First of all, I believe that Memory in a Month is the best memory training product on the market. I really believe that. I know one memory guy who says that he has some secret memory techniques that he uses and he doesn’t tell anyone. Really? Are you serious? You have some SECRET memory techniques that only you use? First of all, I don’t believe him. Secondly, if I did – how selfish is that of him? His goal is not to educate and help others but hold the best stuff back so no one has a better memory than him. In my Memory in a Month program I hold nothing back.

Next, I believe it is the best product out there because of the format. So many people get a CD set of any kind and they don’t know where to start. They are overwhelmed. Memory in a Month is divided into 30 sections to be done 10 minutes a day for 30 consecutive days (hence Memory in a MONTH). This format makes it easy for the student to complete an exercise a day and go on about his day. With that said, I have had students complete it in 2 DAYS!

Another positive quality of the product is that it starts of slow and very basic. This allows the user to ease into the memory program and build confidence as they progress instead of tackling a big memory goal off the bat and getting frustrated and quitting.

I created this CD album when I was 25 YEARS OLD! I can barely believe that myself. I remember sitting in a friends spare bedroom where I was staying because I didn’t have enough money to afford a place of my own and typing Memory in a Month on an old PC computer. WOW! I never imagined in 1998 that this product would eventually be sold all over the world. I really took the time to make sure each lesson was well thought and and prepared so that the average listener could benefit. My goal back then was not profit, my goal was to teach this system in an easy format to understand and I believe that I did that.

Finally, I believe it is the best memory training product on the market because it really covers all the bases of memory training from names, numbers, speeches, students, business people, math formulas, memory games, poems, scripture, foreign languages, memorizing chapters of a book, giving speeches without notes and more. It is very comprehensive and the best program on how to improve memory.

The bad - what would I do different if I had it to do over again. In fairness, in 1998 I didn’t know as much about memory training as I do now. If I was doing it over I would include lessons on CHARACTER-ACTION-OBJECT. This memory method that I learned in 2008 is POWERFUL for memorizing numbers 6 digits at a TIME! With the current method taught in Memory in a Month I think the listener would most likely only perfect 2 digits at a time.

I also didn’t include much about health in Memory in a Month because let’s face it. I was 25 years old and in great shape and just assumed I always would be and didn’t focus on it too much. Now, as I approach 40 – I see the value of good nutrition and exercise and I would have included more about this such as foods to eat and foods to avoid.

I think it would be fun in Memory in a Month to have a section on how to memorize a deck of cards and at the time I didn’t know how to do that either. (In 2009 I set the record for the fastest to memorize a deck of cards at the USA Memory Championship)

The ugly - There are a few mistakes in Memory in a Month. One is when I teach how to memorize the Bill of Rights. The 9th Amendment to the constitution in the Bill of Rights says, ‘The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.’ I had no idea what that meant and guessed it referred to amendments that come after #9 and it doesn’t. So my explanation of what that amendment means is wrong. The other error in Memory in a Month is when I teach SIN and COSINE and how to memorize these formulas. I goofed up and switched them in the program. But as far as I know these are the only 2 errors and the ugly in this program :)

Will one day I go back and make the improvements I have listed above? I believe I will. I think one day a new version is on the horizon. With that said, I still believe this product is without question the best memory training CD set on the market and I have no reservation or hesitation recommending it to anyone to purchase and use whether they are a student or a business professional.

Ron White Memory Guy Salutes US Veterans On Memorial Day

Two time USA Memory Champion and Ron White memory guy shares about his time as a member of the US Navy and celebrates Memorial Day with all other Americans:

READ ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM TO SEE THE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF 1,343,812 and 38,159

This Memorial Day I am not in the United States. Today I find myself writing this note from Melbourne, Australia where I am here on a memory training tour as the memory expert teaching memory seminars. It is an odd feeling for me because I served as a US Navy reservist from 2002-2010. If I had stayed in the reserves in 2010, I would be writing this note from Kabul, Afghanistan with my friends like Mr. Dugas, Mr. Ramirez, Mr. Hightower and others. Instead, I am in a luxurious hotel in Australia being catered to as a memory expert and there is some measure of guilt with that. My friends, I miss you and respect you for your choice.

Today I must take time to pause and salute the men and women – past, present and future who have chosen self sacrifice over self gratification as they wore the uniform of the US military and served with honor.

I joined after 9/11. Going to boot camp at age 29 was a tough but invaluable life experience. Each morning, we had seven seconds to get out of our racks. One morning I was disoriented and sat up to get my bearings. That extra five seconds cost my unit an hour of brutal, nonstop pushups, sit-ups and jogging. Everyone learned that day that a group is only as strong as its weakest link. But it was a lesson none of us ever forgot. Today, I am the two-time USA Memory Champion, but not because of my memory skills. I am the champ because of the discipline and attention to detail I learned in the Navy.

I have shared the stage with many powerful speakers and struck deals with big-time businessmen, but none have impressed me as much as Senior Chief Reid. While in Afghanistan, he and I were going on a convoy just days after a series of attacks on convoys. I walked towards the first vehicle and he said, “White, take the second vehicle. If we get hit, it is going to be me first.” The Navy is full of people like that, and it is with a saddened but proud heart that I am walking away.

As the corporate world—where the prize is financial—often struggles to plan and achieve goals, the military is planning missions in which life and death hinge on the outcome. At the very moment that a salesperson is giving up on his goals, a service member is going as far as he can and then further to grasp the victory of his mission.

To all with whom I served: From the 130-degree sands in Kuwait to the mountains of Afghanistan, to two-mile marches in 40 pounds of body armor in the brutal South Carolina summers, to that room without windows in Fort Worth, it was the honor of a lifetime to serve beside each one of you. I am proud of the work we did, and I know you will continue the fighting spirit of the Navy.

I joined simply to serve, but I got so much more than I ever gave. Thank you for making me a better man, leader, memory expert, businessman and person. Serving beside each of you was the highest honor of my lifetime.

Here is a photo of myself with an Afghanistan National Army soldier in 2007 in Kabul

So on this Memorial Day I find myself outside of the USA. No picnics, baseball, bar-b-cue or kids running in a park for me. No flags or red, white and blue ballons. Yet, as I travel outside the borders of the USA on this Memorial Day teaching memory training seminars on another continent my heart is with the men and women who wear the uniform of our military and sacrifice on a daily basis so that we may all continue to enjoy the freedoms that we all so often find it easy to take for granted.

The pay they receive pales in comparison to the work, but life isn’t all about the pay. They are giving so much for others and get very little in return – but they don’t do it for what they get…they do it for what they give.

To my friends that I served with and many who are still there – it was an honor. I proudly salute your courage and bravery and am honored to call you friend. It is with a humble heart that I take the lessons you taught me without trying and apply them to my daily life. Not a day goes by that my mind doesn’t drift back to you. I have a chair waiting for you at my table when you return – see you soon and come back safe…

Bangkok Memory Training Seminar

Two time USA Memory Champion and memory training expert Ron White shares his travels through Asia teaching memory training seminars:

I just completed a memory training seminar in Bangkok that my friend Amin Rais hosted. Amin and I have been working together since 2008. He has brought me to Bangkok for 4 memory seminars in that time and a few in Malaysia. It is nice to be Ron White Memory Expert in the USA but it is even more fun to travel as the memory expert.

The first event he hired me to speak at in 2008 he really packed the house with 500 people. If you think it is hard to memorize 100 names in 30 minutes try doing it in Thailand! Ha!

Above is Amin and I with his wife in a taxi in Malaysia a few years ago. This year, the number of people wasn’t near 500 but it was a fun and successful memory training seminar.  We had a room full of eager learners with names like

Ashesh (I visualized ashes), Roonpecht (I visualized a ‘wrong pet’) and Suweddi (I visualized sewing a wedding dress). During the seminar I played a video of a 6 year old little girl using my memory system to memorize the presidents of the USA. It really is the cutest video on the planet of the cutest 6 year old on the planet (I am biased…she isn’t mine but I couldn’t love her more if she was).

After I played the video I said, ‘If you have children and you don’t get my memory training CDs for your children your kids need to be taken away from you and given to someone who loves them!’ Everyone laughed and then I got serious for a minute and said, ‘You know why I taught Kailey that memory method? Because I love her….’ Of course I followed it up with, ‘….and if you don’t love your kids that is okay don’t get my memory training CDs.’ Ha! Luckily they saw it as funny too and even luckier they did buy the CDs!

After the seminar I got out of my suit as soon as possible and relaxed and went shopping for some folks back home. I had been given the mission of purchasing a Bento box (don’t worry I didn’t know what it was either), only to find out after hours of searching it is a Japanese tray and I was in Thailand. No Bento box was found :cry:

Now I head to Malaysia where once again I will be introduce as Ron White memory expert and will teach a 90 minute memory training class. The exciting thing for me is that one of the other speakers at the event is Lou Ferrigno, the Incredible Hulk!

Hope your week is going well in whatever part of the world you are in and DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER!!!

Memory Training in Africa

Two Time USA Memory Champion and memory training expert Ron White shares his account of his memory training tour through Africa:

I was set to deliver 8 memory training talks in 4 countries over a period of 12 days and I was determined to make it a positive trip and…oh wow! Has it ever been positive!

My first talk was in Kenya where I was greeted by my friendly host Hasit. He had arranged for me to speak for students in the day and then teach memory training that night to his organization. At the event there were 80 people and 75 had Indian names I had never heard! Much to my own surprise I was able to flawlessly recall all 80 names! (Examples : Darsham, Rajesh, Kalpesh, Minesha)

Next up was Zimbabwe and I had a heck of a time getting through customs. When they heard I was speaking for YPO they asked what that was and I said, ‘Young Presidents Organization’. This sent a panic through the customs agents as that sounded like a political organization and with the tension in Egypt and Libya they didn’t want anything political. Much to my delight Kalpesh (from the Kenya event) was on the same flight and he came to the rescue and explained my situation. The event in Zimbabwe was a pleasure with about 80 people all there to learn how to improve memory. The ‘old’ currency in Zimbabwe was hit with TREMENDOUS inflation and I purchased an ‘old’ 100 Trillion dollar note for $4!!! I actually left Zimbabwe with over 300 Trillion dollars! In old Zimbabwe currency that is…but it is nice ‘kinda’ being a Trillionaire :)

In Cape Town (my 3rd stop) I woke up to see the beautiful Table Mountain outside my window and also a HUGE Lego statue! :)

We had a great event in Cape Town where I taught my memory training seminar for a group of about 50 students and amazed them as much as I could as a ‘ memory expert ‘. After the students it was on to 200 of the world’s top business leaders and when I say that I don’t mean casually…I mean very successful men and women.

My next stop was a place I had never heard of in my LIFE before I arrived. A small island nation called Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It is a 4 hour flight from South Africa as you pass over Madagascar…and all I can say is WOW!! Sure I came here to teach a memory training seminar but memory training has been the furthermost thing from my mind since I arrived. WOW! I am staying at a resort called ’20 Degrees South’ (The Latitude line here) and it is magical!

Almost reluctantly I taken from my hotel to the event I was asked to speak at as a memory expert and conduct my seminar on how to improve your memory. The event was held at what residents of Mauritius refer to as a ‘castle’ I think in the USA it would be more of a plantation home or a mansion. Regardless, it was INCREDIBLE! It was constructed over 300 years ago by a Russian man and it is still in his family today. Yet, today the family has turned it into a place open to the public for tours and events. Incredible home!

Now, I am still enjoying 2 more days of beautiful Mauritius before I head to Johannesburg (or Jo-Berg) as they call it to teach my final memory training seminar of this Africa trip and then I head home! I will get to spend 40 hours at home in the month of April and it will be next weekend and then off to teach memory training seminars in Indonesia, Bangkok, Malaysia and Singapore. But for now, I am going to enjoy Mauritius and try not to think too far ahead….don’t want to miss too much of this beautiful ‘hidden’ island….

How to Become a Subject Matter Expert

Two Time USA Memory Champion and memory training expert and memory speaker Ron White shares how he can make anyone a subject matter expert overnight.

You don’t have to have a very long conversation with me to discover that I served in the US Navy for 8 years from 2002-2010. It is without question the highest honor of my life. During my time in the Navy, I served in Naval Intelligence and value my experiences and the knowledge about the world I gained.

Early in my Navy career I was in a school and they were teaching us how to give military briefings. They would assign us a subject (in this case a country) and then asked us to research it for 2-3 days and then give a classified briefing on the country. While some in my class were assigned Germany, Thailand or Kenya I received Israel….GREAT! There is nothing complicated about that country! This should be easy! :)

Over a period of 3 days I researched Israel and used my memory training to memorize details and facts about the country. In just a matter of days, I literally had hundreds of facts in my memory because I was using my memory training. Then when my briefing was over a Chief (kind of like my boss) asked me, ‘Petty Officer White, what do you do in your civilian career? Are you a professor at a college on Israel?’ I laughed and said, ‘No Chief I am memory training instructor and I teach people how to memorize anything and I just memorized this info over 3 days.’

The Chief was BLOWN AWAY that anyone could become a subject matter expert in just a matter of 3 days on a country as complicated as Israel.

Then a few years later, on a television show called, ‘Stan Lee’s Superhumans‘ on the History Channel they took me to a Home Depot and I memorized the product prices and then we compared my memory to the computer. Not only did I remember all the prices correctly…I beat the Home Depot computer!

In a few days, with memory training, I became a subject matter expert on Israel. In just a few hours, with memory training, I became a subject matter expert on Home Depot products and even once memorized Martha Stewarts magazine for a segment on her show.

The truth is that anyone can become a subject matter expert on any subject faster than they ever imagined but they have to use the correct memory training strategy. If you are needing to learn information FAST and become a subject matter expert overnight…don’t give up you can! Use the memory training method of loci that I used and teach.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Speaking for YPO groups Around The World

YPO Resource and Memory Expert Ron White Amazes

Two Time USA Memory Champion and Memory Keynote Speaker Ron White shares his journey around the world teaching memory training seminars for YPO around the world:

Today I am typing this from a hotel lobby in Asheville, North Carolina. I spoke for my good friend, Craig Lawn’s sales conference today. I will be sleeping in a hotel room 38 of the next 44 days teaching seminars in San Diego, North Carolina, San Francisco and Miami. Then I head off to Africa and speak in Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mauritius. Then to Asia for the last part of April speaking in Indonesia, Bangkok, Malaysia and Singapore.

All of my talks in April will be for an organization known as YPO (Young Presidents Organization).

YPO is a worldwide organization of CEOs who meet in chapters around the world. They meet for friendships with fellow CEOs, business connections and wisdom they can share with one another as they are all experiencing the same types of challenges as their companies grow.

It has been a fun experiencing speaking for this group of CEOs. My first real entry into this world was with the speakers bureau Gail Davis and Associates. Gail suggested I speak for YPO in Barcelona at their GLC (Global Leadership Conference). It was a risk. The cost for me was $2,000 for the right to speak to the group for 15 minutes, airfare to Barcelona and hotel stay in Barcelona. Yet, in the 15 minutes I must have really captured their attention because one year later I have been around the world speaking on the power of a trained memory to these CEOs.

Why would a CEO need to improve their memory? One of the CEOs has 900 employees and he wanted to be on a first names basis with all 900 and I ended up being his personal memory coach. Another saw value in what I did and wanted me to come to his company and teach his employees how to remember product knowledge. The theme of my talks for YPO tend to center around how to remember names and faces, how to give speeches from memory, how to memorize chapters of books or key points from a seminar.

And I have some good news! These ultra successful men and women seem to struggle with the same challenges as you and I and one of those challenges is having a poor memory. So YPO and I have found a great partnership. I help them with their memory training and they pay me well to travel the world speaking for their organization. As a matter of fact, YPO is keeping me so busy right now my number one desire is just to go home and sleep in my own bed….

With that said, this is a once in a life time opportunity to be connected with YPO and I am thoroughly enjoying it. If you are a high powered CEO I would encourage you to look into YPO for the lifetime friendships and relationships that you can build. And if you are breathing I would encourage you to look into memory training for the health of your brain and business!

Now if you will excuse me I am sure I have a flight to catch or hotel room somewhere to check into…..
