Jeff Ragovin shared thisThe best networking tool ever invented? A fork. For about 10 years, I've hosted dinners under The Digital Fork. The format barely changes: 18 seats max. One table. Good food. Phones down. What has changed is how rare that feels. We have more ways to reach each other than ever. And fewer moments where we actually sit together. A DM isn't a conversation. A Zoom isn't a meal. A connection request isn't a relationship. The best things to come out of these dinners didn't start with a pitch. They started with someone passing the bread and asking a real question. I grew up up in tech. I believe in it. But the more digital our work gets, the more a shared table matters.

Jeff Ragovin shared thisSome ideas don't fit anywhere. Too weird for one category. Too much for another. Hard to pitch. Harder to explain. That's usually the moment most people let them go. I almost did. But this month, Empire of the Atlantic was an Official Selection at the Hamptons International Film Festival. It had brand dollars all season It found a room Here's what I learned: The world doesn't need your idea to make sense yet. It needs you to make it. The box comes later. Either way, you build it Thank you to the people who said yes before it made sense

Jeff Ragovin shared thisIt's amazing how quickly a complete stranger can become a friend. Especially when you share an adventure. We recently filmed with with Daphne Oz We had never met. Our mutual friend Anastasia Ganias-Gellin connected us. Funny enough, Anastasia was a complete newbie to fishing when we first met. Now she's hooked! I taught Daphne a few things about fishing. She taught me a few things about cooking. We laughed. We learned. We connected. And two strangers became friends. That's what I love about Bounty Uncharted. Doing cool things with cool people. Getting people out of their shell. Trying something new. Sharing experiences that bring us together. Sometimes the best connections only happen when you step outside your comfort zone.

Jeff Ragovin shared thisI had a dream of producing my own show. I had no idea how to do it. But I knew what I wanted to create. Real stories. The beauty of the ocean. Cooking, adventure, and a healthy dose of real life. not BS TV trash That's how Bounty Uncharted started. What I didn't expect was what it would become. A platform for storytelling. A platform for branded entertainment. And a chance to bring extraordinary people together. My favorite part Nothing is scripted. We have a plan for the day. We have cameras rolling. And we have absolutely no idea what's going to happen. People get sea sick. The fish don't cooperate. The unexpected becomes the story. And that's what I've come to love most. The best stories are the ones you could never have written. Real People, Real stories Excited as we roll out season 2

Jeff Ragovin shared thisWhat if I told you all of this was happening just 100 miles from New York City? Most people will never see the Atlantic Ocean like this. Until now. Over the past year, we've captured some absolutely extraordinary moments just off the coast of Montauk. Humpback whales. Massive schools of fish. An entire ecosystem thriving just beneath the surface. These are some of my favorite stills from Empire of the Atlantic, our short documentary recently selected for the Hamptons International Film Festival. Captured by Michael Cuomo. Every image was captured from the air. No CGI. No AI. Just nature doing what nature does best. Swipe through. Which shot is your favorite? And if these images leave you wanting more, watch the full film: https://lnkd.in/g8KKZNbZ

Jeff Ragovin reposted thisProducing Bounty Uncharted has been one of the most exciting projects of my life. Countless trips offshore, learning as we went, building something rarely seen. If you love the ocean, adventure, or raw storytelling, this one’s for you. Even better when you create it with friends. Thomas Blake Ramsey pulled this together exactly how we envisioned it. Welcome to Empire of the Atlantic. Watch the Full doc here: https://lnkd.in/ey9ZGzuY

Jeff Ragovin shared thisWe’re bringing Bluefish back! Bluefish might be the most disrespected fish in the Atlantic. We’re changing that. On this episode of Bounty Uncharted, Daphne Oz and Anastasia Ganias-Gellin join me in Montauk to recreate Balık Ekmek, Istanbul’s legendary viral fish sandwich. The mission? Give bluefish the comeback it deserves from ocean to table. BLUEFISH IS BACK. Watch the new episode and get the recipe on BountyUncharted.com
