Yanjaa Wintersoul (TV Performances)
~Might do a video about this~
In no order, in terms of performing and influencing for me.
Braden Adams- Extremely supportive, has helped me a lot, and is an amazing athlete.
Katie Kermode- Amazing competitor, particularly exceptional at names and incredibly helpful. I find her language skills amazing.
Abraham Saynes- I think his 5 image system is unique and it is cool to see someone doing their own thing.
Nelson Dellis- If it wasn’t for his documentary I wouldn’t be here. Watched a lot of his Youtube videos and bought his book to get started.
Johannes Mallow- Amazing competitor and puts a lot of efforts into the streams.
Alex Mullen- An absolute beast. However, Im more inspired by his videos helping med students study even more so than his incredibly performances.
Simon Reinhard- I was mindblown when I heard he had a 10000 digit system. Exceptional people do exceptional things to reach elite levels. This is dedication and is inspiring.
Daniel Fogel- what this guy can do without seeing images is amazing.
Nikolai Boris Konrad- PhD in Psychology and I aspire to study memory at a high level as well. Also plays an active role in promoting our sport.
Jan Zon- Similar to Abraham. Made his own system for cards. I respect the innovation.
I guess Don, himself deserve top 10 spot as well.
I was mind-blowen too, when he showed me first time that he can do 50 words at the speed of 14 sec. That’s too insane.
And for me it feels even more crazy because I still didn’t able to do 50 words at all in 60 seconds. 
I’m surprised no one mentioned Nelson. Some of his videos have gotten millions of views. He has inspired many people (myself included) to win memory championships, and he co-founded memory league. That’s my top guy personally.
Bigdonnie mentioned him
Nelson Dellis- If it wasn’t for his documentary I wouldn’t be here. Watched a lot of his Youtube videos and bought his book to get started.
I agree his audiobook “Remember It” was really interesting.
i somehow missed that he mentioned him
What about Ben Pridemore, Joshua Foer, Yanjaa Wintersoul, or Dominic O`Brian
For me based on influence and in no order:
