Erik Till received his BS in Business Management and Psychology in 2009, but his passions for learning, self-improvement, and creativity have made him a student for life. Music has always been a huge part of Erik's life as well: after college, he transitioned from the guitar to the DJ booth and has made a name for himself as an international DJ. Erik has shared the stage with some of the world’s most well-known DJs and producers including Avicii, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, LMFAO, Fedde Le Grand, Paul Oakenfold, Wolfgang Gartner, Steve Angello, and many more. When Erik isn’t DJing, managing a start-up, or working out, you will likely find him "bio-hacking" his health, reading, researching about cutting-edge technology, or enjoying time with friends & family. Erik’s dedication to learning and self-experimentation combined with his desire to help others has made him a great teacher and mentor for friends, family, and the community.

Marc Aces is a free lance writer based out of San Diego, CA. He began reviewing movies and other forms of pop culture in his Facebook Notes back in 2011 when he realized he had nothing better to do at 3 in the morning. Soon after, he started realizing that people actually enjoyed his rants. Marc started to review movies more regularly which has since lead to his reviews being posted to nerd sites such as Ain’t It Cool News and attending multiple early press screenings for big name studio films. When not reviewing films, he assists in managing the Tattoo Studio Guru Tattoo in San Diego, and does tour management work for bands in the Metal Industry. Or you can just find him on his Facebook complaining about Ben Affleck still being cast as Batman.
