Bash is a relatable everyman, who forged his own unique path in life.
He’s a Kid from Brooklyn who gave up an acting career (The Sopranos, HBO), to follow his real passion- using media to bridge intercultural gaps around the world.
Whether he’s speaking on stage with Stevie Wonder, interviewing Dr. Jane Goodall for PBS, or living as a nomad in Mongolia for National Geographic, Bash keeps us engaged, entertained, and inspires compassion for “the other”.
Bash’s unapologetic energy, humor, and compassion have made him a go-to speaker everywhere from multi-million dollar corporations to Ivy League Universities, to the United Nations General Assembly Hall.
He has interviewed some of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People on the Planet and is an Eagle Scout.
