He began his career navigating the backcountry trails of British Columbia as a mountain bike guide and coach, but a quiet sense of incompleteness stirred deeper questions.

What began as a personal journey of self-discovery evolved into a decade-long exploration of the financial system and its ripple effects on human behaviour. When the pandemic reshaped the world, Seb made a pivotal shift—channeling his passion for education into the digital space. He went on to co-found the educational platform Looking Glass, co-author B is for Bitcoin, and write the number-one bestselling book The Hidden Cost of Money—a bold exploration of how money shapes our lives and the world around us.
