"Oscar and I met through our mutual friends and also through our common love for bikes and cycling. He’s such a genuine guy - wasn’t afraid to share his excitement for his hobbies, and that made me feel able to do the same. He came across like a really open guy. The main highlight from our finance chat was realising just how simple it can be! Oscar did an amazing job helping me understand and held my hand through the process without being pedantic. Oscar is always happy to help, always up for a chat and a ride, and is totally without criticism. He’s turned into a great friend through our chats. For those who still haven’t reached out to anyone for a little finance chat, just go for it! Find someone nice (like Oscar) and get chatting. It doesn’t have to be scary, and the barrier for entry is a lot lower than you’d expect. It’s about making that first move more than it’s about being overly strategic. I just appreciate how Oscar is incredibly patient and doesn’t carry any judgement. Come as you are and you’ll have a great time." oscartan.com Photographs and video stills by @danielalexanderharris
