Strap yourself in for a wild ride.

While both of my guests on today's are nitty-gritty biohackers, they also know health is about more than just finding the latest hacks. So in this podcast episode, while we certainly cover the latest and greatest in health and fitness, we also get into how wealth and relationships have helped these two enhance their overall life.

Andrew Masanto is a serial entrepreneur and investor who also owns Biohackinggroup.com. Most recently active in Blockchain, Andrew was the Founding CMO of Reserve (backed by Peter Thiel, Coinbase, and others, currently at $1b+ valuation) and Founding CMO of Hedera Hashgraph (backed by Google, IBM, Boeing, etc., with a fully diluted $10b+ valuation cryptocurrency). Andrew experienced his early successes (pre-Fintech) in the digital marketing space. He founded and sold Higher Click SEO Agency and has lectured on internet marketing at Harvard Business School and Oxford University (amongst other organizations). He has also been quoted by various industry leaders on growth marketing. Before entering the technology and marketing space, Andrew was a dual-qualified Lawyer in Australia and the UK. He worked as a lawyer at Linklaters (a Magic Circle UK Law Firm) in the UK and as an investment banking analyst at Rothschild in Sydney, Australia.

Jordan Fried is a blockchain evangelist and crypto-capitalist. He’s currently the Chairman and CEO of Immutable Holdings, “The Blockchain Holding Company.” He founded and operates NFT.com as well as Immutable Asset Management. Previously Jordan was part of the founding team behind Hedera Hashgraph (Hedera.com). He served as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Hedera from inception in 2017 until the end of 2020, signing partnerships with Google, IBM, Boeing, and LG Electronics while also launching $HBAR into one of the top 100 cryptocurrencies in the world. Jordan also co-founded and served as CEO of Buffered VPN, one of the most trusted personal VPN services online until it was acquired in the first quarter of 2017. In 2012 Jordan discovered Bitcoin and never turned back.
