BEN:
Who are you and what are you doing here?
BEN:
My name is Benjamin Uttley, and I’m recording the trailer for the podcast The One Thing I Learned.
MINNIE:
What is this podcast and why are you doing it?
BEN:
The One Thing I Learned is a series of lessons from people I’ve met and worked with in my life.
I sit down with them and ask one question:
“If you could only pass on one thing you’ve learned… what would it be?”
Something they’d share if they were to die, or something they’d want their younger self—or their children—to know. The most important lesson.
I’ve worked in the sports industry, the film industry, I run a production company, I’m a published photographer… and I’ve been lucky enough to travel through much of the world and meet some really interesting people. So by talking with them—at different stages of their lives—I hope we’ll uncover some truly valuable insights.
Part of this was inspired by my mum being diagnosed with cancer last year. She’s doing okay now, but it really made me think. Especially after also losing a couple of friends, I started to worry—if I suddenly dropped dead, I wouldn’t have passed anything on to you girls.
So I’m making this. As a kind of reference point.
Something you can come back to.
And maybe other people can learn from it too.
