CALLING ALL ASPIRING CREATIVES, someone asked me to answer my own questions...

A lovely gentleman called Dinesh from How I got Job contacted me recently.

He asked me to answer the questions I usually ask my own interviewees.

Whilst my story is potentially short, boring and uninspiring. Hopefully, it’s helpful to at least one person alive, to hear about the mistakes I’ve made.

So here goes. My interview, with myself. (How meta).

ALSO, Read my article; The Pareto Placement.

So… tell me a bit about where you grew up

I grew up in Bristol.

I was quite spoilt, really.

5-minutes in the car in one direction and you were in Bristol city centre.

5-minutes in the other and you were stopping for cows crossing country lanes.

(Bristol wasn’t as cool then, as it is now. But it was still a great city.)

I was very privileged to have grown up there.

My parents weren’t rich, by any means. But I had a fantastic childhood.

Growing up poor can create issues.

Growing up rich can too.
