Olly Perkins | Captain of Cambridge Sailing (National Champions), Author of 2 Books (10000+ Sold, Reading Weather), Drone Business (4 FT Employees), Christianity (Mission in Tanzania, Founding Charity, Biggest Questions) | Coffee's on Me, David Quan 权丁文

Oliver Perkins is a 2nd year Economics student at Robinson College, University of Cambridge. He loves adventure, especially climbing, ski touring and wild camping. Before uni, he spent 6 months in Tanzania with a Christian charity. He enjoys being entrepreneurial, writing two published books and has a business with full time employees. He also captains the university sailing team. However, what’s most important to him is his relationship with Jesus. He loves to bring people closer to Jesus, leading at Christian youth camps and has recently started a society helping Christians think about effectively using their careers. “Loved my time with David, he asks just the right questions to really get to the deep topics, where I’d otherwise not be able to share. A highly skilled podcaster." - Olly Perkins --- WHY? COFFEE'S ON ME, DAVID QUAN 权丁文 TL;DR: To process my emotions after a grueling campaign for President of The Cambridge Union, I reflected upon the influences of my late Grandfather and wrote him a letter: https://linktr.ee/DavidQuan . Drawing inspiration from him, I hope to learn more from others through genuine discussions – giving listeners heartfelt conversations filled with authentic insights, and giving guests legacy-worthy interviews to treasure. To converse with someone without a strict time limit or structure – meticulously engaging in a curious process of clarifications or elaborations – is not only a rare privilege. This longer format also allows the sharing of otherwise unshared or unappreciated anecdotes. There are appeals to sound-bite media, of course, but the metrics that matter most to me are more about the uniqueness of contribution than measures of virality. Over time, I hope to be able to better deconstruct guests' fascinating experiences – to seamlessly tease out the insights for listeners to enjoy and learn from while cooking, commuting, relaxing, or walking their pet. But this personal project is fundamentally as much about what we can learn from the guests as it is to give them (current) legacy-worthy interviews. My top priority is for guests to enjoy a unique opportunity to challenge, learn about, and be themselves; hopefully, they will be able to keep recordings of in-depth, heartfelt conversations to reflect on in years’ time. And the best part for guests? Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文 --- NOMINATE A GUEST Please contact me to nominate someone.
