Mark Hawwa is a visionary who transformed a simple idea into a global movement. Inspired by a GQ magazine image of Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm in "Mad Men," sitting suavely on a classic Matchless motorcycle, Mark yearned to shatter the rough-edged stereotype often associated with bikers. He envisioned a world where motorcyclists were seen in a different light, not as the notorious one percenters or "bad boys," but as dapper individuals enjoying the ride of life.
With this image in mind, Mark created "The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride" (DGR), an event where riders don their finest suits and take to the city streets with open-faced helmets and wide grins. The inaugural DGR was driven by the desire to dress sharply, share a few laughs, and pivot away from the conventional biker image. Mark's initiative quickly outgrew its humble beginnings, blossoming into an international phenomenon that has reshaped the public's perception of motorcyclists across the globe. With a touch of elegance and a strong sense of community, Mark Hawwa has spearheaded a stylish revolution on two wheels, proving that change can begin with a simple ride through the heart of the city.

I Started Trading when I was 18 with $10,000 and quickly lost it all. But did I really lose it or did I gain a lot of valuable lessons and rules I live by now? I learnt by losing and am a product of all the lessons those losses taught me. Most people never learn from their losses and in fact keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Some might say, I was a loser in high school, I go one step further, I was a loser in the stock market too until I understood that Trading was more mental than anything else, that’s when it all clicked for me and I learnt to ride the emotional roller coaster called the Stock Market. I have been riding that roller coaster since I was 18 and continue to ride it every single day. The only difference is, I learnt to enjoy the roller coaster, almost like a professional riding a bull. (Pun intended) Now I teach others how not to scream through the roller coaster but rather enjoy and have the ride of their life using battle tested strategies. If you’re new, I will teach you how to LOSE. (The right way) so you gain valuable insights like I did and the subsequent profits will make you grateful for those early loses you are sure to take but are also a part of your journey to profitability. I will show you how you can keep going and push through those limiting beliefs to be the best trader you can be. The Stock market is tough to understand but its understandable and it has cycles if you watch and learn.

James Dixon's life has been marked by immense hardship since his early life growing up in the notorious Cabrini Green neighborhood in Chicago.
