From 1981 to 1985 he prepared and presented the President's Daily Brief one-on-one to President Ronald Reagan’s most senior national security advisers including then Vice President George H. W. Bush.

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about Ido Portal. The cult of Ido Portal is a wave of information, videos, and interviews about a mysterious man from Israel who's not afraid to call out Crossfitters and Vegans alike, who stands on one hand and preaches "self dominance". I watched his videos and interviews and wondered, "But what is this man really like?" And then I found out. Arriving with what looked like his worldly possessions in a backpack, I met a man on a journey who is trying to sprea...

Scroobius Pip is a one-of-a-kind British original. Just when you think you've figured him out and assigned him to a specific genre of music, he drops another video on you and blasts himself into the next one.

Doing well as a manager at HMV in 2005 he opted to pack it all in and hit the road with his music, giving himself one year to make it big. Within days of that goal he got radio play for...
