Andrew McGregor is one of the most intensely passionate person I've ever met. As a champion chess boxer, he is certainly much more than he initially appears. If you don't know about the Tiziano project yet, check it out right now. It is awesome. It was a pleasure meeting Andrew.

Absolutely no evidence of Tiziano producing wealth for anyone. This is the ridiculous digital hype that TED loves and is baseless.
