From a western Kentucky high school to Capitol Hill, London, Bermuda and a political market watched on election night, Travis built a career explaining what crowds know - and what they still get wrong.
John Aristotle Phillips
John Aristotle Phillips is the co-founder and CEO of Aristotle, the Washington DC-based political technology firm he built with his brother Dean since 1983. Known worldwide as 'The A-Bomb Kid' after his Princeton term paper on nuclear weapon design made headlines in 1977, Phillips parlayed celebrity into activism, lost two congressional races, then quietly built a data empire that has served virtually every U.S. president from Reagan onward. Today Aristotle powers campaign compliance, voter data, PAC management, and identity verification for campaigns across the globe, while Phillips co-founded PredictIt, the world's largest political prediction market, partnering with Victoria University of Wellington to bring real-money political forecasting to the mainstream.
