Grandmaster Maurice Ashley — The Path and Strategies of World-Class Mastery | Brought to you by Helix Sleep, ExpressVPN, and Athletic Greens.

Maurice Ashley (@MauriceAshley) made history in 1999 when he became the first African-American chess Grandmaster. He is a three-time national championship coach, an author, ESPN commentator, iPhone app designer, puzzle inventor, and motivational speaker.

Maurice is well known for providing dynamic live tournament coverage of world-class chess competitions and matches. His high-energy, unapologetic, and irreverent commentary combines Brooklyn street smarts with professional ESPN-style sports analysis. He has covered every class of elite event, including the World Chess Championships, the US Chess Championships, the Grand Chess Tour, and the legendary “man vs. machine” matches between Garry Kasparov and IBM’s Deep Blue.

Traveling the world as an ardent spokesperson for the many character-building effects of chess, Maurice consults with universities, schools, chess clubs, executives, and celebrities on how chess principles and strategies can be applied to improve business practices and assist with personal growth. Maurice also acts as a master of ceremonies and inspirational speaker at business conferences and high-class chess events.

Maurice has received multiple community service awards from city governments, universities, and community groups for his work. In recognition of his immense contribution to the game, he was inducted into the US Chess Hall of Fame in 2016 and the Brooklyn Technical High School Hall of Fame in 2018.

This episode is also brought to you by ExpressVPN. I’ve been using ExpressVPN since last summer to make sure that my data is secure and encrypted, without slowing my Internet speed. If you ever use public Wi-Fi at, say, a hotel or a coffee shop, where I often work and as many of my listeners do, you’re often sending data over an open network, meaning no encryption at all.

A great way to ensure that all of your data is encrypted and can’t be easily read by hackers is by using ExpressVPN. All you need to do is download the ExpressVPN app on your computer or smartphone and then use the Internet just as you normally would. You click one button in the ExpressVPN app to secure 100% of your network data. Use my link ExpressVPN.com/Tim today and get an extra three months free on a one-year package!

This podcast is also brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time, “If you could only use one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system. 

As a listener of The Tim Ferriss Show, you’ll get a free 20-count travel pack (valued at $79) with your first order at AthleticGreens.com/tim.

Balaji Srinivasan (@balajis) is an angel investor and entrepeneur. For episode #13, I chatted with Balaji about the rise of cloud cities, the Oregon Trail generation, a decentralized model for citizen journalism, why crypto is still underrated and the best piece of advice he’s ever received. Balaji was formerly the CTO of Coinbase and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, he was also the cofounder of Earn.com, Counsyl, Teleport and Coin Center.

Balaji holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering and a master in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University and teaches the occasional class at Stanford, including an online MOOC in 2013 which reached 250,000+ students worldwide. He was also the first person in my Twitter feed to sound the alarm on the global pandemic back in January, something I’m personally grateful for. Balaji is a truly original thinker who is unafraid to speak his mind and someone I’ve learned a lot from just by following him on Twitter. Hope you enjoy this conversation with Balaji Srinivasan.

Sit in on my conversation with Stephen Smith and learn everything you could ever want to know about the incredible plant medicine, cannabis.

I was really nervous for this one and giddy afterward. I've had a thousand questions for Andrew Yang, an American entrepreneur and former presidential candidate for the past year, and he answered all of them. We talk UBI, behind the scenes of the campaign, law enforcement, career advice, and the most frustrating parts of running for President. Plus, will he run again?

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• “Do the advances really reflect the quarter of a trillion dollars we’ve invested in research?” – Dr. Azra Raza
• We have spent a lot of money and made limited progress but by any objective metric the return on investment in cancer research has been paltry – it’s time to try something else  
• We have falsely become convinced of a paradigm that we just have to find the right cocktail of drugs for each type of cancer  
• Medicine has perfected the art of prolonging disease
• “We are living in an era of the most sophisticated technological advances possible, and yet the treatment of cancer is paleolithic.” – Dr. Azra Raza
• We need to refocus our energy into what has worked: Early detection
• “Mark my words, the coming decade of 2020-2030 will see this shift from treating disease to trying to detect early and prevent the disease from becoming established.” – Dr. Azra Raza
