What Is Awesome is a collection of the most interesting people, products, events, and ideas.
WIA is curated by Ian Spector, a recent graduate of Brown University where he studied cognitive neuroscience (how and why we think and behave the way we do). He is perhaps best known for being the creator of Chuck Norris Facts and is the New York Times bestelling author of spinoff book The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About The World’s Greatest Human and its follow-up, Chuck Norris vs. Mr. T: 400 Facts About the Baddest Dudes in the History of Ever.
From 2008-2009, he also served as president of the Brown University Entrepreneurship Program and currently sits on the Program’s advisory board. Among other things, Ian professionally offers web consulting services leveraging what is known about the brain and how people think and interact with each other to improve businesses.
