When most people hear "Grandmaster," they think of Magnus Carlsen dominating chess. But grand mastery can be achieved in other fields too. With the human brain, memory is one of the most foundational elements to knowledge and information. In 2026, there are roughly only 200 grandmasters of memory.
This elite title is awarded by the World Memory Sports Council to those who demonstrate extraordinary feats of recall under mortal kombat like competition conditions. To achieve this, one must enter the Hunger Games of memory and memorize 1,000 numbers within an hour, remember the order of 10 decks of playing cards (i.e., the sequence of 520 randomly shuffled cards) in another hour, then commit 52 cards to memory in two minutes.
Ed is one of those 200 people. If that's not enough, Ed is one of the OGs from Tim Ferriss's book Tools of Titans.In this one, we tap into Ed's brain and figure out the cheat codes to unlocking our supercomputer brain and how it applies to business and life.

In this podcast episode, I sit down with Hrik, an Ethereum developer, to break down the world of NFTs. We cover what NFTs actually are, his personal perspective, where he believes the space is headed, and the bigger thesis on why NFTs matter — all while breaking down money without the B.S.I first met Hrik at a Gary Vee conference in Minnesota. He’s based in Seattle and holds over $200k in NFTs, so he’s someone who truly has skin in the game. In this episode, I dive into his thought process and get his honest take on the future of NFTs. We get right to it and talk about the question everyone asks — why are some of these going for $50,000? Isn’t it just a picture?! In a space full of hype and bad actors, Hrik is the real deal. Together, we cut out the fluff and have a straight-up conversation about where we believe NFTs are going.
