Memory Sports with Katie Kermode

Do you ever wonder how memory competitors get so good at their craft?  Do they have some secret method that the Average Joe can’t begin to comprehend?  Is there a memory secret society that’s only available to those who participate in the competition world that you and I would never be able to access? Good news: Memory competitors are just like you. They have their strengths, weakness, and, believe it or not, have the time to have a life outside of memory training! On today’s episode of the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast, I sit down with Katie Kermode, a memory champion and competitor from the United Kingdom, to discuss her memory journey.  Competing for over two decades, Katie is ranked 16th place in the world for memory competitors and is a four time memory world record holder.  She is also a professional translator and proofreader, memory coach, and is the creator of memorization and recall software used at the IAM World Memory Championships in 2018.
