Intrinsic way

Jamie

(aka J-Bomb, Mission Control)

Job: Founder

When I started: March 13, 1996

My Favourite Intrinsic item has been:

I do love them all, but I will choose two- our greeting cards because they are genuine and the words touch your heart and the intuition box because it is so powerful.

The best part of my job at Intrinsic is

Providing opportunities for people to make a difference

My fondest childhood memory

Anything that involved sport, spending holidays with my cousins

My parents always told me

To do my best

When I was a child I always wanted to be

A footballer/cricketer/golfer/ anything to do with sport.

The thing most people wouldn’t guess about me

Very competitive

If I wasn’t me

I would be invisible

My first paid job

Picking the eyes out of potatos –I received about 20c per bag- It took about an hour per bag.

If I had a super power

I would instill happiness into people’s lives.

Savoury or sweet?

Some days its savoury then others it’s definitely very sweet – I like to be flexible

Diamonds or pearls?

Not sure which one would look the best on me

If I won a million dollars

I would have a couple glasses of red wine then wait a few minutes and see if it was just a dream. Ah then yes it’s time to donate some and time to enjoy some.

On my last holiday I went to

Sailing the Whitsunday Islands with Adèle – believe it or not I was “skipper”- anyway I believed I was skipper

My dream holiday destination

There are so many beautiful, amazing and historical places in the world so you just need to travel more and more and enjoy

Three words that best describe me

Genuine, competitive, passionate

I’m most proud of

Sam, Livvi, Adèle, and Intrinsic.

My most memorable fancy dress costume

Pink ballerina tutu –I was only 5! More recently a Jimmy Hendrix appearance, and also a long hair cool groovy platform shoe flair pant sexy hippy guy- I liked him!

I got in the worst trouble when

My cousin and I were smoking in our family’s shed and it caught alight

My dream home

On a hillside, home fire burning, sound of crashing waves, peace, space, warm and cool, views, glass all around, stairs, soft and loud music, red wine, say no more.

I was out of my comfort zone when

I realised I actually had to walk on hot coals

My most foolish decision

If you listen to Adèle there may be many but I don’t think I’ve made one yet

My best decision

Attending a function where I became ‘aquainted’ with Adèle

Three people I’d like to have dinner with

Nelson Mandela, Sonia Gandhi, Queen Rania of Jordan and in case someone can’t make it, Bono.

My most cherished possession

A sense of humour

Famous people I’ve met

Anyone who has been a part of the Intrinsic journey

Things I haven’t told my mother

I’ve left home

The animal I’m most like

A ‘smallish’ lion- soft on the outside but strong inside

What you really think of Adèle

Well here goes – yes she is a… and also by the way … and did I tell you about the time… sorry I could go on for hours but in a word ……beautiful
