Andrew McGregor is a filmmaker, Grammy nominated bagpiper, inventor, writer, chessboxing champion, entrepreneur, frequent TEDx speaker, Highlands games athlete, photojournalist, magician, Curator of MindshareLA.

He was named one of ‘LA’s 40 Most Interesting People’ by LA Weekly, was part of a team that won the SXSW Interactive Award for Activism, won the ‘Foreigner’ division of an Independence Day Chess Tournament in Kazakhstan, he was featured in the Sports Section of the ‘NY Times’, and he has even received a Certificate of Appreciation from LA’s City Council! Jason talks to Drew about how they met, how he got into Chess Boxing, his work putting robots on rats to find unexploded mines, his photo journalism work in Rwanda and how he ended up competing at over 20 Highland Games.

In his honour, we play a game where we guess if this feat of strength was performed by a person or a fictional robot.
