Pour yourself something good — we're going deep. Whether it's why Bach's cello suites still hit different, what makes a great live performance unforgettable, or the case for WAP in a concert hall (I'm serious), this is an hour for anyone who loves live music, art, and the conversations they spark. No expertise required, just enthusiasm. Tell me about the time in which the performing arts changed your life for a 50% discount.
Pick a game, learn a game, or let me suggest one — then we play. I love tabletop and strategy games for the same reason I love good conversation: the interesting part is watching how people think. Great for winding down, surprisingly good at getting to know someone. Competitive streaks welcome.
Got a decision rattling around your head? A career move, a creative project, something you can't quite articulate yet? I'll help you think it through — not by giving advice, but by asking the questions that get you unstuck. I do this professionally in my day job and recreationally in my spare time. Bring the mess, we'll find the thread.
I'm the kind of person who loves geeking out over a perfectly dialled-in espresso, then shifting to the realisation that classical music from Russian composers between 1930 and 1950 just hits differently. Secretly and with patience, I look forward to the day when Cardi B's WAP is performed in an orchestral concert hall. I suppose you could say I'm a simple man with big musical dreams. Nowadays, I am learning to play the cello as an adult beginner with no childhood music background. I do so badly, enthusiastically, and, most importantly, confidently.
