Big Brain Trust products blend comic-book energy with real-world genius: premium merch, books, and curated collaborations—made to spark curiosity, reward deeper thinking, and celebrate heroes of the mind. Every purchase helps support projects that grow the next generation of creators and innovators.
In a world drowning in noise, we chose a different direction: clarity. Big Brain Trust designs are built by a mix of storytellers and makers—illustrators, writers, designers, and researchers—who treat every product like a message worth keeping.
We fuse comic-book aesthetics with real-world genius. We obsess over details: the references, the symbolism, the story behind the hero. The result is design with backbone—made to honor real minds, ignite curiosity, and remind you that headlines aren’t reality.
Unique Design, for us, means one thing: nothing is accidental.
Curiosity doesn’t live in one country. Neither should the things that carry it.
Big Brain Trust is built for the culture of curiosity—people who collect questions, not just answers. And those people are everywhere: in big cities and small towns, in classrooms and studios, in labs, libraries, and late-night rabbit holes. That’s why we ship worldwide: so the artifacts of curiosity—merch, books, and curated collaborations—can reach you wherever you are.
Because there’s something quietly powerful about receiving a package that feels like it belongs to your inner world. A shirt that signals “I don’t think in headlines.” A book that restarts your attention span. A badge that reminds you: noise isn’t knowledge. These aren’t just products—they’re small tools for identity, conversation, and momentum.
Worldwide shipping is also part of the mission. Big Brain Trust is designed in Poland, but it’s not “for Poland only.” The stories we tell—about inventors, scientists, explorers, and the mechanisms behind reality—are global by nature. A good idea doesn’t need a passport. A real hero doesn’t need a local audience. And the next generation of creators and innovators won’t grow in one place—they’ll grow everywhere.
So wherever you’re reading this—from Warsaw to Toronto, from London to São Paulo—know this: we’re building a bridge between stories and real life, between curiosity and craft, between honoring real heroes and helping grow the next ones.

My name is Karol Wyszyński, founder of the Big Brain Trust. And this is our story.
As a kid, I wanted to be a teacher, a footballer (later basketballer - more in future), and a comic-book character—someone with powers, a mission, and a reason the world made sense.
As a kid, with my siblings and cousins, football was only half my life. The other half was books, comics, drawing—and shooting little films with my uncle’s old camera. It was huge and heavy; it sounds funny now, but back then it was our “film equipment” and our passport into imagination. Looking back, we were mostly making parodies: fake news segments, skits, and goofy scenes that were meant to feel “like on TV,” just in our own way.
By the time I finished high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. And honestly, it’s hard to blame me—YouTube was created just a year after my graduation. That path simply didn’t exist yet—the one that’s so obvious and accessible today.
YouTube entered my life like an answer to questions I didn’t even know how to ask yet. Suddenly, the stories we used to shoot “just for laughs” on my uncle’s big, heavy camera could become something bigger: a way to work, to meet people, to have real impact. And it’s not only about numbers or reach. It’s that YouTube fused into one the things that have driven me since childhood: science, sport, and a need for meaning—honest, structured thinking about the world.
Thanks to YouTube, I met extraordinary people and lived through experiences you simply can’t plan at a desk. For me, it wasn’t just a distribution platform—it became a craft school: how to build pace, how to carry emotion, how to turn an idea into an image.
That’s how I met Marek and Janek from GF Darwin. I got to see, from the inside, what it takes to create stories that stay with people: consistency, humor, courage, and that rare ability to translate words into visuals. Working together has been a real adventure—full of work, friction, negotiations, and turbulent moments, but also trust and support. From early ideas, through series and films, to products—and even a book we made together. I owe them a lot, especially for showing me what imagination becomes when it’s backed by real craft.
Recently, Marek and Janek also launched a foundation focused on helping the next generation grow—both artistically and technologically. And that’s where our paths naturally crossed again. Big Brain Trust isn’t meant to be just a place to buy cool things. It’s also a way to strengthen young creators and builders—people who will shape the future of culture and technology.
In parallel, I’ve been working for years with two outstanding artists: Marek Oleksicki and Ewa Kwaśniewska. Together we created a series of comic-book superheroes—“real” ones: grounded in values, discipline, and the courage to think, not cheap spectacle. Thank you for letting me return to the world of superheroes—and for inviting me into that creative process where legends are brought to life, line by line.
One of those legends is Jan Czochralski, one of the most important Polish scientist-inventors. In my mind, he stands on the podium next to Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Nicolaus Copernicus—and yet far too few people know his story. That’s why I’m proud he’s one of our heroes: a real-world Tony Stark, except his comic-book name would probably be Mr Iron(y) rather than Iron Man. His life also carries a painful echo of Poland’s history: talent, breakthroughs, and then silence—too often, forgotten.
I’m also honored that we can work with Fred Schmidt, Jan Czochralski’s grandson, his wife Shelley, and the team behind JanCZ.org. For us, Big Brain Trust isn’t only about telling stories of heroes of the mind—it’s also about supporting the people who keep their legacy alive.
And finally: a big thank you to Adam and Piotr from Matura To Bzdura. Working together became another turning point—a shared decision to grow the Big Brain channel and brand. Thank you, truly, for the trust.
This story isn’t ending. If anything, it’s just beginning. I want to introduce more heroes, unpack more mechanisms of the world, and build more projects that inspire you daily—to think, to discuss, and to act.
And if you choose to buy something from the Big Brain Trust Shop, know this: it’s not “just a purchase.” It’s a vote for the culture of curiosity—and real support for initiatives that help young people grow in art and technology, and that bring heroes of the mind back into the spotlight.
