Upcoming Features

Ray’s next project, The Public, directed and written by Emilio Estevez, is set to debut this April by Universal Pictures. Ray is the Executive Producer and has a supporting role in the film which co-stars Alec Baldwin, Emilio Estevez, Jena Malone, Taylor Schilling, Christian Slater, Gabrielle Union, Jacob Vargas, Michael K. Williams, Jeffrey Wright and Che “Rhymefest” Smith. In “The Public” an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the night by staging an “Occupy” sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what’s really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation’s most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.

In addition, Danny A. Abeckaser’s upcoming gangster flick Mob Town starring David Arquette, Jennifer Esposito, Robert Davi, PJ Byrne and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, which was just bought by Saban Films and will debut with a Summer 2019 theatre release, in which Ray also has a supporting role.

Peter Rex, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and thought leader who built a billion-dollar investment business from scratch in less than 7 years and now runs a technology company based in Seattle again joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Peter Rex discuss the following:

* You say that, as an entrepreneur, you can’t afford to go at it alone. Can you talk to us about your experience here?* How has this experience impacted your success? * You’ve managed to accomplish a lot with an unconventional background. I understand you raised $100M during the recession, and you started a tech company without any Silicon Valley connections. How did you manage that?* It sounds like you have a deep interest in human nature and humanity. Do you think this is necessary to success as an entrepreneur?* How can others learn from your skills/success?

Peter Rex is the founder and CEO of Trustwork, a technology business driven to empower the global workforce and recreate the world’s economy. Trustwork’s mission fulfills deeply held desires from Peter’s childhood and is a byproduct of Peter’s life experience as a middle-class youth with an extreme drive to serve people of all nations. 

Peter developed core elements of Trustwork’s vision while building a $1 billion integrated investment and operations company. He went from bootstrapping in 2005 as a construction worker to now having 400+ employees, $135mm in annual revenue, and $350mm of equity invested.

In 2015, Peter embarked on an 18-month investigation to understand how to apply his vision at the largest possible scale. He recognized the value that physically seeing local problems, opportunities, and cultural nuances would have in developing and executing a truly global strategy. His trip led him to 85 countries where he held over 600 meetings with business leaders, government officials, and everyday people.

Peter returned with his family to the United States having seen the potential in people across all geographies and socio-economic classes, and the extent to which they had been limited by lack of access to the new economy. He knew that the best investment would be in creating meaningful technology that would allow people throughout the economy to amplify their entrepreneurial drive and human ingenuity. 

Trustwork’s initial focus is on recreating the “old economy” industries of real estate and construction, but will eventually empower every person in the global workforce.

Peter Rex lives with his wife and three children in Seattle and regularly operates in San Francisco, Dallas, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and New York. He is a CPA and lawyer, and received a BA in philosophy and government from Georgetown University and a JD from Harvard Law School.
