Jason Silva is an Emmy-nominated and world-renown TV personality, storyteller, filmmaker, and sought-after keynote speaker and futurist. Jason is known for hosting five seasons of the Emmy-nominated, global hit TV series Brain Games on the National Geographic Channel, broadcasted in over 171 countries, and for his YouTube series Shots of Awe, with over 100 million views.

A global keynote speaker, Jason has given talks at events for Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, Oracle, Adobe, Electronic Arts, Cannes Lions, Tribeca Film Festival, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, 20th Century Fox, Cosmopolitan, PHD Worldwide, Google Zeitgeist, TED Global, The Economist, and more.

"A Timothy Leary of the Viral Video Age" was how The Atlantic described Silva, "part Timothy Leary, part Ray Kurzweil, and part Neo from 'The Matrix.'"

On Brain Games, Jason gets inside your head and shows you what is going on in there with an intricate series of interactive experiments designed to mess with your mind.

Origins: The Journey of Humankind is an eight-part time-travel adventure series that strives to trace the pivotal innovations that fundamentally and irrevocably created modern living. How did we get here? How did humankind evolve from apes swinging in trees to astronauts walking on the moon? Jason guides viewers through a dazzling audio-visual portal to explore these events.
