Rooted in his Scottish heritage, he traces the influence of the Scottish Enlightenment on the Declaration of Independence, turning history into a personal journey. Traveling across the country, he mixes cultural oddities—from monster trucks to haggis tacos—with deep reflection, crafting a show that’s both celebratory and insightful, rejecting cynicism in favor of genuine appreciation.
