While studying for an MA (Hons) in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh I became fascinated with the human mind, what motivates people to rise above their situation, achieve their dreams and create a fun and fulfilling life.
Research work on documentaries took me into the world of film and television. I became interested in the hero story and studied screenwriting with UCLA. What intrigued me about the creation of a hero is how a dream or goal is sparked in an individual, what motivates them to make their dream a reality, inspires others to join them on their quest and then drives them through adversity to achieve that goal.
In 2006 I combined my passion for how to inspire and motivate people with Reuben’s (co-founder) skill for emotive, powerful story-telling and launched Real TV with the purpose of using real stories to inspire people.
