Learning and remembering things are among the most important skills you will ever develop. That’s why Kevin was delighted to recently interview Michael Tipper.

Michael once won the silver medal in the World Memory Championships despite previously having a poor memory.

So how did he improve his memory so dramatically? And what learning strategies did he share that students can use to succeed in school? These are just two of the questions Kevin asked Michael in this episode of The Unstoppable Teen Podcast.
