Episode 8: Tansel Ali

Tansel Ali used to have a terrible memory. He’d forget people’s names, conversations he’d just had, numbers, and even had difficulties remembering what he just read. It was when he started learning ‘memory techniques’ that he realised his memory wasn’t bad, it was just untrained. Tansel was in his early 20s when he discovered memory training, at the same time he learned he needed serious stomach surgery, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. So while he recovered in hospital he put his mind to work. Since then, Tansel has been crowned four-time Australian Memory Sports Champion, memorised two Yellow Pages phone books, authored two books, created educational initiatives for schools and helped people with dyslexia, ADHD, as well as high performance athletes, keynote speakers and corporate leaders.



**We would like to say an extra special thank you to Tansel for recording this episode with us just a few days after his Dad had passed away, we so appreciated his willingness to sit down and chat and be so open. Our condolences to Tansel and his family**

We are all collectors by nature, holding onto things that are important to us throughout life. Some may have a deep significance, others might be trivial or reveal a hidden talent, but all have a special meaning behind or within them that reflect where we have been, who we are now and who we will become.



This is the essence of TWO AM I – an adventure of stories, told through the lens of two personal items. 



Each episode hosts Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry chat to extraordinary people about their two special items, their climb of the mountain – and the ups and downs of life – to learn how those moments have shaped who each person really is.



Why TWO AM I?

Two hosts: a shared experience.

One guest: and their two special items.

TWO AM I – Who AM I: honest and real conversations about the big questions in life.
