In the fall of 2018, Matt Hooper quits his job at an investment bank to become a “song and dance man” with a very unique obsession: innovation. We meet Matt in a coffee shop on the morning of his first live performance, which will be staged at New York City’s new hotbed of innovation, an office building in Hudson Yards. Unbeknownst to Matt, he has drawn the attention of executives from MFB, one of the world’s largest technology companies. Big Tech is eager to engage the startup ecosystem, and Matt might just be the character they need to reach this all-important audience. By episode’s end, having won his first client, Matt and his peers realize: his new life as a singing, dancing ‘innovation evangelist’ might work out after all.
