Set between 2015 and 2024, Ant immerses us in his raw, tenacious journey to give his family a better and more adventurous life. The story starts with Ant’s deeply emotional struggle with an unexpected pregnancy, and a mistake that splits his close-knit family between hemispheres. With nowhere to live and facing relentless professional and financial hardship, Ant must swallow his pride and step up.

Starved of inspiration and creative opportunities, and fighting a dangerous body image battle, Ant decides to risk everything. He empties his family’s life savings to bring forward a retirement dream and save his mind – and bank balance – from collapse.


The result is Dear Coco.

Ant brings us behind the curtain for an all-access look inside his coffee business. He shares his secrets to success, how much money his coffee truck makes and reveals the multi-millionaire investor circling his business.

Ant’s is a family man’s story of iron will and unbreakable spirit. People from all walks of life will see themselves in Ant and his relentless determination to succeed.
