Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. A great answer on Reddit to the question ”What really happened in real life that if you saw it in a movie you would say ‘that’s totally unrealistic’?”. It would make for a pretty underwhelming movie, but it’s a great story nonetheless.

2. Food for thought, cultivate self-indifference over self-esteem — You’re simply not that big a deal: now isn’t that a relief?

3. A fascinating longread — When a DNA Test Shatters Your Identity

4. One of my all time favourite comedies, Community, has returned from the depths of nowhere to Channel 4. A warning, it’s binge-worthy!

5. Last week I had the pleasure of working with some super talented kids on one of Kick Music School’s Rock Schools. Check out the videos of their performances from the gig day rehearsals… You’ll be impressed!

Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. An interesting interview with the cartoonist and musician James Kochalka on being creative. Here's the video and my takeaways from watching it.

2. As well as being tiny, some viruses are rather scary looking!

3. Another fascinating episode of the After-On podcast where Rob Reid interviews George Church. They talk about DNA sequencing and editing, clean meat, anti-ageing research and much more.

4. Derek Sivers on goals: Detailed dreams blind you to new means

5. A magical musical moment from the Rock School I'm running this week. We get to work with some fantastic kids, so inspiring!

Kick Music Schools

As you may or may not know, I run Kick! Music Schools. Kick! run five-day music workshops for 11-17-year-olds in Ipswich and we have one more Rock School this year. If you or a son or daughter are into music this is for them!

The Rock School will take place from the 24th-28th October. Learn more on Kick!'s website.

Last week Kick! Music Schools ran it's July Rock School at St Peter's by the Waterfront in Ipswich.

At the concert, we had the pleasure of witnessing this guitar solo by a 12-year-old. Age is rarely a good indicator of a person's talent, but needless to say, our minds were collectively blown!

Truly inspiring. Enjoy! 🎸🔥
