"I was an investment banker, but i'm OK now."

Long story short...

...Jason Bax was an investment banker until he "left the green to pursue the dream" of being a performing artist. After 200 rejections Jason broke into film & TV going on to work in nearly 100 productions including, X-Men, Fringe, Supernatural, etc...

His upcoming book, _______ ,

When he's not working on-set Jason writes & produces shows. In his spare time he teaches performance skills in a small, seaside town outside of beautiful Vancouver, BC, Canada, aka Hollywood North.

FULL BAX STORY

After struggling to find his way, Jason found his first career success at 29 as a professional speaker / technology evangelist for a software company. He and his seminar team innovated .... _+ team and I generated $3.9 million in 11-months

("How I landed my dream job without sending a resume")

Rather than rejoining the rat race, Jason chose to stay home to help raise his little girls.

But A STay at home dad...

...still needs to bring home the bacon. (And boy do his little girls love their bacon. But, come on. Who doesn't, really?)

After failing his commodity trading exam he went on to build his portfolio betting the stock market would crash (after getting a very unusual tip) and turned a few thousand dollars into 6-figures shorting oil as it dropped from over $100 a barrel to $45 per barrel (based on a bizarre theory).

Start-up on the side

To bring in extra income as a successful stay at home dad during the recession Jason started an online business, which was eventually acquired in 2016. ( The expensive and painful lesson that cost him nearly $1-million to learn the right time to sell your startup ... by selling it at the wrong time.)

"I was an investment banker, but I'm OK now"

After selling his start-up, Jason applied what he'd learned about technology start-ups. Bax entered the high-paced world of mergers and acquisition - joining an investment banking firm. specializing in helping founders of early-stage tech start-ups get acquired by big companies. In the last 18-months of his investment banking career he and the team sold three, two year old companies for a total of $400-million. (It was a very merry Christmas that year) and the firm was honoured by the National Angel Capital Investors Association for "Deal of the Year" award.

For his next act...

Finding investment banking lacking in creativity - Jason left investment banking to get into film and TV. After nearly 200 auditions he finally broke in, being cast in 100 films, TV and commercial productions. He has:

• Died a gruesome death on popular TV show, Supernatural. (And attracted his first creepy stalker.)
• Did pushups and put out fires on X-men.
• Contained an "outbreak" on Fringe.
• Booked the role of Captain Morgan after meeting Robin Williams.
• (And yes, being the Captain has its privileges).
• Was flown to an all inclusive resort in Mexico to go on-camera for one single syllable - word.
• Shared a salad with actress, Halle Barry on Cat Woman
• Got the inside scoop on being Puddy on hit TV series, Seinfeld, while watching the symphony with Patrick Warburton.
• Worked with Academy Award winner, David Fincher, director of Seven, Fight Club, The Social Network, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, etc...

... but it wasn't until nearly ruining his marriage and losing his family he realized that the role of husband and father, is the most important role of his life.

"You can work for love or money. Every time I've chosen love, in my career, the money followed."

"The Show" Must Go On...

Today, Jason works as a writer, tells stories on stage and teaches the occasional performance class for professional speakers in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.
