Growing up in Venezuela and New York City, Jason Silva and Max Lugavere had their own big ideas and big dreams. Then they met each other at the University of Miami where they both studied film, they hoped they might someday be able to make documentary films and explore their passions for technology and science. Their opportunity came sooner than they expected, when they were asked to join Al Gore's nascent CurrentTV in 2005, and before long Max and Jason were hosts of their own nightly show Max and Jason: Still Up on the network. They began with a novel concept, which was also their passion: to create and promote smart, engaging, thought-provoking, and entertaining content. With their show on Current as a platform, they became tastemakers and social curators, recognized as such they were featured in the Gap Icons campaign and asked to serve as co-hosts of Ted's Pangea Day.
