Recently I worked with the team at RealVision Creative Studios producing (mainly) educational content to help people understand what’s going on in the world of finance and markets more generally. We called this particular show “The Big Conversation”.

In March 2020, I began a very exciting project with the Wall Street Journal looking into better understanding how to trade FUTURES by better understanding where they came from. The answer to its origins? Food.

In January 2020, I worked alongside the talented teams at Real Vision to make a short documentary about ESG investing. In a world where we constantly debate whether public sentiment leads or follows business trends, are we at a tipping point where companies have to be more environmentally and socially responsible because that’s what investors now want?

Well, there’s only one place to go to find that out…. Davos.

In 2016 I began working with Conde Nast Traveller on a series called “Eat. Stay. Love.” where we visited cities around the world that perhaps you wouldn’t ordinarily label as culinary destinations but did play home to some hidden treasures indicative of a rising hospitality scene. Can you guess where we went?

In 2017 VISIT BRITAIN (The British National Tourism Agency) ran a campaign to try and get baseball lovers to fly over for a taste of cricket. Swap coffee for tea if you will. Unluckily for Her Majesty, they picked me to help do it…..

Below is my first ever attempt at a travel video…

Also, I made a film.

In 2013, Zachary Treitz and I sat down for a beer in South Seaport and decided to go on a trip and make a short film; a film of unrivalled contrast centring on a man that didn't belong in a town that didn't want to know. That town was Burke, South Dakota and that man was me. 

Before rhetoric completely masks irony, this was just a bit of fun but it carries with it a more serious point which is my passion for discovering the uncovered. I'm forever interested in meeting new people and looking for new stories to tell. I point blank refuse to tire from the well-heeled cliche that is 'everyone has a story to tell' and I dare anyone to challenge otherwise. We started by making this as a documentary about the cowboys and cowgirls of Burke, South Dakota, but the content leant itself more favourably to fiction. So please sit back and enjoy the story of when an unlikely cowboy set foot in a world he didn't know: a Cowboy in a Continental Suit.

I was in a boxing match

In 2012, my neighbour and dear friend, Jed Weinstein, asked me to compete in a charity boxing match. If you are not laughing, then you should be. I enjoy fighting about as much as a centipede enjoys glove shopping but with a charity to benefit and the opportunity to put on a show at hand, I welcomed it with quivering arms. Together with my trusty sidekick director, Zachary Treitz, we made this promotional video to promote the event and the charity. I raised $49,000 that night which made it worth the beating.

Below is a sketch I did as a pilot for a TV show idea I had to see if a hedge fund manager could fit into any walk of life in America if he put his mind to it....
