David Thomas’s story is of one of a tragic childhood that has been transformed into a jaw-dropping story of achievement and success. Born in Yorkshire, David suffered a seriously abusive childhood at the hands of his mother and stepfather. This start in life led him to major under-achievements in school, a criminal conviction and attempts at suicide at the young age of 16. You’d find it hard to imagine how any youngster could go on to turn their life into a positive one. During his time serving with the fire service in 1996 he was inspired by a man he saw on TV that memorised a pack of cards, so he bought himself a book on memory improvement. Within 8 months he came 4th in the ‘World Memory Championships’ and has since gone on to become known as one of the most powerful memories in history with several titles to his name, including ‘Guinness Memory Record Breaker’ and ‘US Memory Champion’. He’s also been a professional speaker for over 20 years, having spoken in over 21 countries worldwide and is also a Sunday Times #1 bestselling author. His direct form of speaking is intended to unsettle the audience into assessing where their life is currently at and goes on to help people overcome adversity and the major challenges life throws at us.
David talks to Sandro about his traumatic childhood, the art of mind-mapping and the importance of an exercise regime in keeping depression at bay.
