If I were to maintain a 'Human Beings I Love' list, Rupert would be a fixture.

Buddhist, writer, traveller, thinker, run coach, teacher, dear friend, and, now, father, he juggles these many roles with grace and presence.

His capacity for self awareness and commitment support an unflinching honesty, which allows him to express contrarian opinions without unnecessary padding. Having met at university nearly 15 years ago, we have sustained a friendship that has defined how I think more than any other formative relationship.

I'm not one to make wild assumptions, which I think tells you what's about to follow, but I believe you'll enjoy listening to him just as much as I do.
