The School of Life's Experts

A lot of clever and interesting people know important and fascinating stuff, but it can be frustratingly hard to meet them; sometimes you need a middle man. The School of Life has an ever expanding faculty of freelance experts who are willing to meet with you for an hour in exchange for a fee. They include architects, accountants, anaesthetists, airline pilots, authors, actors and many others.

Perhaps you have an idea that you want to explore with someone who will understand it. Maybe you have a burning question that only an expert can answer. Perhaps you want to know more about the realities of life in a different career. Is there an author whose books you admire and would like to take for lunch? There are many reasons for wanting to meet an expert and incalculable benefits for both parties. We know that informal face-to-face conversations are often where new ideas emerge and where understandings of existing ideas are crystallised.
