We’re a team of food-lovers, film buffs, tech geeks, dancers, divers, book worms and lots more. We’re good at different things but that’s cool because we’re growing together. Flashback to when Leo won his first Oscar, Pokemon GO was a thing and when we set out on a mission to help people grow. These three phenomenons are completely unconnected but they did happen in the same year. The story of how we started HowNow isn’t straight-forward enough to sum up into a few lines and we believe is movie-worthy (although we might be biased). If it ever got made, the log line for the movie would read: two boys from Barking set off on a journey to become better and along the way help the people they meet become better – or something like that. The moral of the movie would be continuous learning is the secret for making the most out of life. Coming soon to a screen near you. Living life 24 frames per second. Always musing. Loves making things. Would be played by Superstar Rajnikanth (with some de-aging CGI). Forever lost in thought searching for a method to his madness. Would be played by Mr Method himself – Daniel Day Lewis. Forever curious. Loves building tech stuff. Fascinated by marine life and fish tanks. Would be played by Rajkumar Rao. Always sniffing around for something new, constantly curious and always learning new tricks. Would be played by Emma Watson. A zingy friendly human being, always up for a good laugh, and who would struggle to become vegan. Would be played by Zooey Deschanel Someone who makes friends everywhere he goes and finds himself in unusual places and situations. Would be played by Elijah Wood. Sold Thomsons Online Benefits to Mercer for £250M+. Leading HR Tech Investor. Still deciding who would play him in a movie. Sold his successful digital business in 2014 for £55m and has established a portfolio of successful tech companies. Will probably play himself. Essex girl trying to make it in the big city. Would be played by Emma Mackey/Emilia Clarke. A thought-machine with a library of ideas who cooks them up in silence. Would be played by Dacre Montgomery. Always has a joke or a story to share. Would be played Mathew Perry. Dreams big and ready to do what it takes to make them a reality. Would be played by Natalie Portman. Cheerful, supportive and on a continuous adventure to learn more. Would be played by Amitabh Bachchan. Hard-working and goal-oriented with lots of love for Technology and Football. Would be played Kumail Nanjiani (pre-six pack). A man of few spoken words, because he’s saving them all for our written content. Would be played by Kristofer Hivju through beard envy alone. Fun-loving, hard-working and adaptable, Yasir likes to go with the flow and set smaller goals each day. Would be played by Vicky Kaushal. Channels his creativity into digital art and designing, you’ll also find him reading, watching anime and gaming. Would be played by Ayushmann Khurrana. Always learning from his experiences and experiments, Akshay enjoys discussing technology, politics and his plans for road trips. Would be played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Take a stroll down untrodden paths. Play outside of your comfort zone. Be fearlessly different. Find your own magic. If we look after the world and all its tenants, then the world and it’s tenants will look after us. We’re in it together. What do you bring to table? You bring the table. You create your own opportunities. Own your achievements and mistakes. Grow together.
