Success on Wall Street, a TV career helping millions take control of their finances – and the hit podcast ‘Driving the Green Book’

17th December 2020

Alvin Hall is a broadcaster, author and financial educator. Beginning his career on Wall Street, a chance encounter with a BBC producer led to an unexpected career detour – becoming one of the UK’s most prominent business TV presenters, hosting BBC flagship programmes and landing the beeb’s first-ever interview with Jay-Z. A successful author, his best-seller ‘You and Your Money: It’s More than Just the Numbers’ has helped millions take control of their finances. In this in-depth interview, Alvin takes us behind the scenes of his hit podcast ‘Driving the Green Book,’ his first-person reportage following the original journey from Detroit to New Orleans, and his examination of America’s Jim Crow laws and long-standing history of racism; shares how growing up in poverty in Florida and then making a fortune on Wall Street drove his passion for teaching financial literacy – to guide others on avoiding poverty and start building wealth; and reflects on memorable on-screen moments – including the famous out-take of him standing in a field doing a piece to camera, sporting his iconic bow tie… only to be repeatedly attacked by a flock of ostriches.
