882 · Marvel in Disney Parks: Behind the Magic with Brian CrosbyHow does Marvel come to life in Disney Parks... and what does a little boy meeting Peter Pan have to do with it? This week, I sit down with Marvel Studios' Brian Crosby at the WDW Radio booth at D23 for a conversation about turning the characters we love into places, adventures, and memories we can experience for ourselves.Brian spent ten years as an Imagineer before joining Marvel, and he shares the thought behind experiences that stretch from Hong Kong Disneyland to Tokyo and beyond. We talk about the creative choices that help a story connect, whether you know every comic book or are meeting a character for the first time.You'll discover:Why the Iron Man Experience queue had to introduce the man inside the armor.How Groot became the guide to a very different kind of Marvel adventure.The childhood Peter Pan encounter Brian still thinks about when creating experiences.What it meant to Stan Lee to see Marvel become part of the Disney Parks.How ideas can travel from comics to attractions and back into animation.Which attractions Brian would want to share with Walt Disney.Along the way, we attempt a 55-second lightning round that goes about as well as you'd expect when the two of us start talking Disney, food, and comic books. You don't need to know the Marvel timeline to enjoy this one, just the feeling of meeting a character who means something to you.

The world knew Stan Lee as the larger-than-life face of Marvel Comics, but the final years of his life tell a far more complicated and heartbreaking story. Filmmaker Jonathan Bolerjack joins the Bandits to discuss Stan Lee: The Final Chapter, his powerful new documentary built from hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage he captured while working closely with Stan during the last four years of his life. Jonathan talks about how his relationship with Stan evolved from filmmaker and subject into friendship, what he witnessed as competing interests fought for access to the aging comics legend, and the difficult decisions that came with documenting events while also trying to help someone he cared about. He also discusses the long and sometimes controversial journey to bring the film to audiences and, ultimately, his hope that The Final Chapter allows viewers to see the human being behind the Stan Lee legend.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: FILIPENSES 3:12-21 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 143–145; 1 CORÍNTIOS 14:21-40  O devocional de hoje está uma bênção! Marque um amigo aqui nos comentários para ler com você!  Às vezes, e surpreendentemente, as mensagens espirituais aparecem em lugares inesperados, como numa história em quadrinhos, por exemplo. O editor da Marvel Comics, Stan Lee, faleceu em 2018, deixando um legado de heróis icônicos como o Homem-Aranha, o Homem de Ferro, Hulk e muitos outros. Seu bordão pessoal para assinar as colunas mensais dos quadrinhos da Marvel por décadas era a palavra excelsior. Somente em 2010, ele explicou seu significado: “Para cima e para frente, para a glória maior! É isso que desejo a vocês quando escrevo excelsior!” Gosto disso, pois quer Lee tenha se dado conta ou não, o uso dessa expressão incomum certamente está de acordo com o que Paulo escreveu aos filipenses ao admoestar os fiéis a não olharem para trás, mas para frente e para o alto: “Não, irmãos, não a alcancei, mas concentro todos os meus esforços nisto: esquecendo-me do passado e olhando para o que está adiante, prossigo para o final da corrida, a fim de receber o prêmio celestial para o qual Deus nos chama em Cristo Jesus” (FILIPENSES 3:13-14). Podemos facilmente sentir arrependimentos ou questionar decisões anteriores. Mas, em Cristo, somos convidados a não levar em conta o passado e a seguir em frente para a maior glória de Deus, acolhendo o Seu perdão e o propósito que Ele graciosamente nos concede! Excelsior!  Por: ADAM R. HOLZ

It's Marvel Monday and we're diving into the Quantum Realm! ABOUT ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne are dragged into the Quantum Realm, along with Hope's parents and Scott's daughter Cassie. Together they must find a way to escape, but what secrets is Hope's mother hiding? And who is the mysterious Kang? AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA February 17, 2023 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Director: Peyton Reed Writers: Jeff Loveness, Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Cast: Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Scott Lang has settled into a pretty comfortable life. He's a successful writer, he's dating Hope van Dyne, and things are going pretty well. His daughter, Cassie, is now a teenager and has become an activist, helping people who were displaced by the Blip. This has caused some tension between her and Scott, who isn't exactly thrilled with her getting herself into dangerous situations. While visiting Hope's parents, Cassie shows them a device she's been working on that can communicate with the Quantum Realm. Janet freaks out and shuts it down, but it's too late. The device has already sent a signal, opening a portal that sucks Scott, Cassie, Hope, Hank, Janet, and a bunch of Hank's lab ants into the Quantum Realm. Scott and Cassie are separated from the others and are taken in by a group of people who are rebelling against the ruler of the Quantum Realm. Meanwhile, Hope, Hank, and Janet find themselves in a massive city where they run into Lord Krylar, an old friend of Janet's. Unfortunately, Krylar is now working for Kang, the guy who currently rules the Quantum Realm, so they steal his ship and get out of there. The rebels explain to Scott and Cassie that Janet played a role in Kang becoming so powerful. Janet eventually admits that she met Kang during her previous time trapped in the Quantum Realm. Kang told her that he could get both of them home if she helped him repair his multiversal power core. They fixed it, but Janet discovered that Kang was actually a complete psycho who had been conquering and destroying entire timelines. She turned against him and used her Pym Particles to make the power core too large to function. Kang eventually regained his powers and took control of the Quantum Realm anyway. The Langs are eventually captured and brought before Kang, who threatens to kill Cassie unless Scott helps him retrieve his power core. Scott shrinks down and heads into the core, where he encounters a probability storm that creates a bunch of copies of himself. Things get pretty chaotic, but Hope shows up and helps him get the core. Kang captures Janet and has M.O.D.O.K. destroy the ship carrying Hank. Thankfully, Hank is rescued by his ants, who have spent their time in the Quantum Realm evolving into giant, super-intelligent ants. With Hank's help, Scott and Hope head back into the fight. The rebels launch an all-out uprising against Kang and his army. During the battle, Cassie manages to convince M.O.D.O.K. — who turns out to be Darren Cross, the guy Scott thought he killed in the first movie — to switch sides. Cross helps them fight Kang but ultimately sacrifices himself. Janet repairs the power core and she, Hank, Hope, and Cassie make it through a portal back home. Scott is almost left behind when Kang attacks him, but Hope comes back for him. Together, they manage to throw Kang into the power core, seemingly destroying him. Cassie reopens the portal, allowing Scott and Hope to make it home. Scott goes back to his normal life, but he starts thinking about Kang and whether or not it's actually over with him. But he decides he's just not gonna worry about it. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

We're continuing our celebration of Jack Kirby's incredible legacy with two conversations that explore very different corners of the worlds he helped create.First, we go back to the Baltimore Comic-Con's virtual 2020 convention, held during the COVID lockdown, for a discussion of Kirby's Fourth World. Writer Tom King and Cecil Castellucci join moderator Robert Meyer Burnett to talk about the ideas, characters, mythology, and lasting impact of Kirby's sprawling New Gods saga.Then we jump back to 2012 for a Marvel press conference featuring writer Kathryn Immonen and editor Lauren Sankovitch, discussing Lady Sif stepping into the spotlight as the lead of Journey Into Mystery. Sif may come from Norse mythology, but her Marvel identity was shaped in large part by the creative imagination of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and this run gave her a chance to carry a book of her own.Two generations of creators, two very different takes on Kirby's characters and concepts, all part of the continuing conversation about the King of Comics.This is Voices of Kirby, Part Three, on Word Balloon.

Legendary comic book writer Steve Englehart sits down with Byron to discuss his ground-breaking 1970s Marvel Comics run on Doctor Strange and the creative freedom that defined the Bronze Age era at the company. Steve reflects on taking over Doctor Strange after Steve Ditko and Gardner Fox, detailing how he pushed the boundaries of cosmic storytelling under the strict rules of the Comics Code Authority at the time, and he opens up about how 1970s counter-culture, personal experimentation with psychedelics like LSD, and real-world occult research directly influenced his mind-expanding Doctor Strange storylines. Throughout the conversation, Steve shares fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from Marvel's golden era in New York City, a true step back in comics history. Highlights include his legendary collaboration with artist Frank Brunner on Doctor Strange, how late-night walks through NYC inspired Master of Kung Fu and ultimately the creation of Shang-Chi, and the infamous fake minister letter that tricked Stan Lee into letting a controversial Doctor Strange storyline go to print.

Robin Williams Is Back Online and It Is About AIRobin Williams' Instagram posted for the first time in 12 years, and his kids Zak, Zelda and Cody also launched Facebook, TikTok and YouTube accounts in his name. Zelda framed it plainly on her own Instagram: this is the best tool the family has for fighting AI recreations of her father's likeness and voice.I get why this feels strange, and I say so in the episode. But I walk through why it actually works. A dormant account does not rank in a Robin Williams search, so what fills that space is fan edits at best and AI slop at worst. An active family owned account gives people one verified place to check whether a photo or video is real, and it gives the family standing to file takedowns, which platforms only honor from accounts in good standing. The Stan Lee Instagram has been running this playbook for a while and it is worth a follow. This is still whack a mole and I am not pretending otherwise, but it is one of the few real levers anyone has right now. What gets me is that the people falling for these videos skew older, not younger, while the millennials who grew up on Robin are the ones watching his kids fight off replicas of their dead father. Have a heart. Let the man rest.Chapters0:00 The account posts after 12 years0:15 What Zelda Williams said about AI abuse0:31 Why a dormant account loses the search results0:44 One verified place to check photos and video0:59 Takedowns only work from an active account1:07 The Stan Lee account as the model1:13 Who is actually falling for AI videos1:31 Pushing back before AI coexistence gets worseKey TakeawaysZak, Zelda and Cody reactivated Robin Williams' Instagram and added Facebook, TikTok and YouTube accounts under a joint statement.Zelda's stated reason is AI abuse of her father's likeness and voice, not nostalgia.Twelve years of dormancy means the account had no search presence, leaving room for fan edits and AI generated material.Verified content in one official place gives fans a reference point for what is real.Takedown requests carry weight only from an active account in good standing with the platform.The Stan Lee Instagram is a working example of the same approach.Nobody expects this to stop all AI generation, but it is the strongest tool available to the family.Older users appear more likely to be fooled by AI video than younger ones.Quotes"A dormant account for 12 years is not going to rank in a Robin Williams search." (Frank)"Everything posted from there is verified and real." (Frank)"Now we have to be realistic here. This is whack a mole." (Frank)"Have a heart guys. Let the man rest." (Frank)"If we don't push back against stuff like this and the many other AI problems, we will not have a coexistence with AI that we actually want." (Frank)Go follow the Robin Williams Instagram account, then send this episode to the person in your life who keeps sharing AI videos of dead celebrities without realizing it. #RobinWilliamsFacebook https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastPatreon https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastDo you think reactivating a deceased person's account is the right call, or does it make the whole thing weirder?Have you already been fooled by an AI video of someone who has passed away?

The Munsons are thrilled to welcome back guest Munson Matti Groll to explore one of the stranger career paths we've covered: Michael Chiklis. A fellow Boston University Terrier, Matti joins us as we trace Chiklis from a disastrous first movie that nearly ended his career before it began to becoming one of the actors who helped redefine what television could look like in the early 2000s. Along the way, we unpack the incredible story behind Wired, the infamous John Belushi biopic that earned the wrath of Belushi's friends, a literal curse from Dan Aykroyd, and years of career fallout for a young actor who was mostly just happy to no longer be waiting tables. From there, we dive into the television work that ultimately made Chiklis a star, including The Commish and his groundbreaking Emmy-winning performance as Vic Mackey on The Shield. We debate just how important The Shield was in opening the door for prestige dramas on basic cable, discover that Stan Lee considered Chiklis's portrayal of The Thing his favorite live-action Marvel performance, and somehow find ourselves defending—or absolutely refusing to defend—the 2005 Fantastic Four. Matti also gets the considerably better assignment of revisiting Spirited Away, whose addition to Chiklis's filmography unexpectedly rescues him from dead last in Case's box-office rankings. The back half brings everything from Eagle Eye, Parker, and the wildly divisive When the Game Stands Tall to the MoviePass-produced crime thriller 10 Minutes Gone, complete with a fascinating behind-the-scenes Bruce Willis story. But the real late-career revelation may be Chiklis as Red Auerbach in Winning Time, a performance strong enough to have us wondering whether a full-blown “Chiklissance” could still be ahead. Is Michael Chiklis an underrated television powerhouse trapped inside an underwhelming movie résumé, or does the uneven filmography tell us something bigger about his limitations as a performer? How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

Asking questions about character motivation that Marvel never put to Echo Struggling actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman) hides his destructive ionic powers to land his dream role as Wonder Man in this 2026 Disney+ series.  But can Iron Man 3's Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) really expect to shed his Mandarin image if he's gonna villainously turn his super-scene partner into the Department of Damage Control? And shouldn't Hollywood be giving an Oscar to anyone who can permanently show Josh Gad the door?  Listen Now to learn if showrunner Andrew Guest (Brooklyn 99) found the real man inside this Stan Lee creation.

LET'S GET INTO SADIE SINK'S ROLE IN SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY! A lot to say and discuss! 

It's Marvel Monday and reality itself is at stake! ABOUT DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Doctor Strange teams up with a mysterious teenage girl who can travel across multiverses, to battle other-universe versions of himself which threaten to wipe out the multiverse. They seek help from the Scarlet Witch, Wong and others. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS 2022 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Director: Sam Raimi Writers: Michael Waldron, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Benedict Wong as Wong Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a demon chasing a girl named America Chavez. A variant of Doctor Strange shows up searching for the Book of Vishanti. Doctor Strange is killed and America accidentally creates a portal to our Doctor Strange's universe. While at Christine's wedding, Strange sees a monster attack happening. So he goes and rescues this girl who he remembered from his dream. America explains that the beings are hunting her because she has the power to travel through the multiverse, but is unable to consciously control it. Doctor Strange goes to talk to Wanda about these demons but realizes that she is actually responsible for the attacks. She acquired the Darkhold and is now going full Scarlet Witch. Wanda believes that taking America's powers and traveling through the multiverse will allow her to reunite with Billy and Tommy, the kids she created. When Strange refuses to surrender America, Wanda shows up and starts killing sorcerers. Scared, America accidentally transports the two of them to another Earth. Wanda uses the Darkhold to "dreamwalk", taking control of her Earth-838 counterpart who lives a suburban life with her own Billy and Tommy. Doctor Strange and America are captured by this Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Karl Mordo, and brought before the Illuminati, to help decide what to do with them. They explain that through reckless use of their universe's Darkhold in an attempt to defeat Thanos, Earth-838's Strange triggered a universe-destroying "incursion". After defeating Thanos, the Illuminati executed their Strange to prevent him from causing more harm. So they're finding it hard to trust our Doctor Strange. Wanda shows up and kills all the Illuminati except Mordo. Doctor Strange helps free America with the help of this Earth's Christine. The three of them go to find the Book of Vishanti, which holds the secret to free them of the Darkhold, but Wanda appears and destroys it. She then takes over America's mind and uses her powers to send Doctor Strange and Christine to a universe wasteland. Our Doctor Strange defeats the destroyed universe's Doctor Strange, who has been corrupted by his Darkhold, and then uses that Darkhold to dreamwalk. With Wong's help, Doctor Strange saves America from Wanda and encourages her to use her abilities. America goes to find Wanda where she sees Wanda's kids crying for their real mom. Realizing she goofed, Wanda gives up and uses her powers to bring down all copies of the Darkhold throughout the multiverse and sacrifices herself in the process. Everyone returns to their own universes except America who stays to train with Doctor Strange who now has a third eye. We then see Doctor Strange be approached by a mystery person who warns that his actions have triggered an incursion that he must help repair and he follows her into that universe.

Marvel Studios has found its Scott Summers. Deadline reports that Kit Connor is the pick for Cyclops in the upcoming X-Men reboot, with the decision landing last week between Marvel president Kevin Feige and director Jake Schreier.Frank breaks down why this casting works and what it signals for the next era of the MCU. Connor is in the middle of a serious run right now, coming off Netflix's Heartstopper, Alex Garland's A24 war film Warfare, and the upcoming Elden Ring adaptation. Schreier, meanwhile, is coming straight off Thunderbolts, which earns him a lot of goodwill heading into a franchise this size.The bigger story is the shape of the roster. With Samara Weaving attached to Emma Frost and Sadie Sink revealed as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the picture forming here is a noticeably younger X-Men team than longtime fans are used to seeing on screen. Frank makes the case that this is a deliberate reset, not a compromise, and that casting the field captain this young means Marvel is building a team meant to grow over many years.Quick headline drop, strong opinion, and a full discussion coming on the next Geek Freaks Podcast.0:00 Marvel Casts Its New Cyclops0:04 Why Kit Connor Is Everywhere Right Now0:16 Does He Look the Part as Scott Summers0:19 Feige and Jake Schreier Made the Call0:23 The Thunderbolts Factor0:31 A Younger X-Men Roster Comes Into Focus0:40 Your Turn on the CastingKit Connor is Marvel Studios' choice to play Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, per a Deadline exclusive.The call was made last week by Kevin Feige and director Jake Schreier after a casting process that ran through the summer.Schreier directed Thunderbolts, and that track record is a big reason confidence is high on this project.Connor's recent run includes Heartstopper on Netflix, A24's Warfare, and the Elden Ring film adaptation.Connor slots in alongside another Netflix breakout, with Sadie Sink already revealed as Jean Grey.Samara Weaving is attached to Emma Frost, so three mutants are now spoken for.The through line across all of it is age. This is a younger team than any live-action X-Men lineup we have seen, and it points toward a long runway for the franchise.Scott Summers first appeared in 1963's The X-Men #1 from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and has anchored the team as field leader ever since."We have our Cyclops.""Kit Connor's on fire right now.""Frankly, Kit looks like a perfect Scott Summers in my opinion.""Damn, Thunderbolts was good.""A much younger cast than maybe we're familiar with, and I think a sign for the future of the MCU.""No complaints on my side."What do you think about Kit Connor joining the team? Is this the Cyclops you pictured, or were you holding out for someone else?

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome comic book creator Gerald Goodwin Jr into the Snurdyverse for a bonus episode built around his series Kairu, Slayer of Kaiju. Gerald walks through the premise of a twelve year old granted a symbiotic alien suit that reacts to his emotional state, and traces the idea back to influences including Neon Genesis Evangelion, Blue Beetle, and the classic Stan Lee era of Spider-Man. The conversation moves into his lifelong Godzilla fandom, touching on the Monsterverse films, Godzilla Minus One, the original 1954 Gojira, and Godzilla vs Mothra, along with the atomic bomb metaphor built into the earliest kaiju films. Gerald also breaks down why the kaiju villains in his own comic represent real struggles like anxiety, self doubt, and guilt.Anime comes up as well, with Gerald crediting Toonami for shaping his early taste and naming My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Dragon Ball among his favorites. Gerald shows rough storyboard art from the upcoming issue six of Kairu for the first time in any interview, revealing a new character they nickname Mr. Steel Yubbage. The episode closes with the recurring mental health check in, a Big Mad segment covering topics like the reception of the Supergirl film and Hollywood's pattern of misreading what made Barbie successful, and a Happy segment where Pop-Tarts and Ratatouille both make an appearance.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Brian and Jason once again survey the smoldering wreckage of the tech industry and discover that the people building the future are increasingly being sued by governments, publishers, customers, employees, and occasionally reality itself. California is coming after 23andMe over its catastrophic data breach, Florida is taking a swing at OpenAI, CNN has joined the ever-growing conga line of companies suing Perplexity, and Meta somehow decided the solution to improving AI is recording employees' every mouse click while generously allowing them a whole 30-minute privacy break. Meanwhile, Google's own engineers are sharing memes about how much Google's AI tools suck, Microsoft apparently wants users addicted to its new AI assistant - first taste's free! - and Anthropic is preparing to go public with a valuation that makes even the most irrational dot-com era investor look financially responsible.The AI arms race continues producing exactly the kinds of outcomes you'd expect when venture capitalists start huffing their own press releases. Instagram's AI support bot reportedly helped hackers steal accounts because apparently "Are you sure you're the owner?" was considered an optional step. Suno raised another $400 million while fighting copyright lawsuits, Paramount+ seems to have let AI create the ugliest Star Trek thumbnail in Federation history, and Stan Lee has now been digitally resurrected because modern capitalism looked at death and said, "Nice try." Over in transportation, BYD is so confident in its self-driving technology that it's willing to pay for your accidents, while Tesla owners are discovering their old Full Self-Driving contracts may have quietly received software updates of the legal variety. Somewhere in a conference room, a lawyer just whispered, "Let's not put that in writing," ten years too late.Elsewhere, governments worldwide continue their ongoing experiment of raising children by confiscating smartphones. Malaysia has implemented a social media ban for kids under 16, Poland wants phones and smartwatches locked away at school, and Kentucky schools just collected $27 million from social media companies accused of building products as addictive as cigarettes.Dave Bittner drops by for a visit and we discuss Spotify listeners apparently preferring old music because new music keeps getting algorithmically focus-grouped into oblivion and a healthy dose of Star Wars, Downton Abbey, Derry Girls, Lego, books, gadgets, and AI-generated jazz. Add it all up and you've got another week where the only thing moving faster than technology is the legal department trying to keep up.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Ron White is a two-time USA Memory Champion, U.S. Navy veteran, and one of the world's foremost memory training experts. Known as the "Brain Athlete," he has dedicated his career to proving that extraordinary memory is not a gift — it's a trainable skill. A Texas-based entrepreneur and speaker, White first discovered memory techniques in 1991 at age 18 and has spent over three decades mastering and teaching them. He won back-to-back USA Memory Championships in 2009 and 2010 and held the national record for the fastest to memorize a shuffled deck of cards in one minute and 27 seconds. He has appeared on the History Channel's Stan Lee's Superhumans, National Geographic's Brain Games, and Fox's Superhuman with Kal Penn and Mike Tyson, as well as Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, and CBS Evening News. After September 11th, White joined the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence specialist and deployed to Afghanistan in 2007, serving until 2010. That experience inspired what he considers his most important work: memorizing the names, ranks, and order of death of more than 2,300 American service members killed in Afghanistan — over 7,000 words committed to memory over 10 months. He travels the country writing those names from memory on a 52-foot memorial wall, a tribute built on a simple message: "You are not forgotten." Today, White speaks to audiences in over 30 countries and runs Brain Athlete, where he teaches individuals and organizations to improve their memory, read faster, and learn more effectively through his flagship Black Belt Memory program.
