Jack Oughtred's Home Truths
Everyone, this is Jack. Why ask him for his Home Truths? Cos he’s one of the last friends I saw pre-Corona, knows how to pose (see left), and can do a ridiculously good shuffle dance.
1. The song to put a smile on your face…
Jah Gringo - Martin Jondo.
2. You can only watch one film for the next three months… What is it?
The Butterfly Effect. Not because it’s my favourite film ever, but because it would occupy my mind thinking about decisions and possibilities.
3. The TV series you want everyone to watch:
The Thick of It. I probably wouldn’t recommend it to children or grandparents, but what a classic.
4. The book you most recommend to people:
Bounce by Matthew Syed. Even if you don’t buy into the '10,000 Hours' principle, this book’s message of practice, and be the best you can be, is epic.
5. The subject you’ve put off exploring that’s now top of your to-do list
Iz and I are considering taking up the piano again, which we’ve been (and still are to be fair) putting off for a while.
6. The wild card you wish more people knew about…
Tailenders podcast.
7. We’re allowed dinner parties again… What are you cooking?
I’m not, it’s a liquid dinner.
8. Everything’s back open. What’s the first coffee shop, restaurant or pub you’re visiting?
Don’t really care, so long as it’s with my friends.
P.S. What you know now, that you wish you knew then…
It’s actually really easy to pick up the phone and speak to / video call people.
C’est fini... Now what?
