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.
