OLIO has been a remote-first business for 5 years now (here’s how it works), and each week we have a Fri-YAY question, which helps build camaraderie.

A couple of people have asked for sample Fri-YAY questions, so here goes…

  • If you could have only 1 superpower for the next 7 days, t be and why?
  • Share a pic of your view, and let us know where you are!
  • If you had the chance to give your 14 year old self a piece of advice, what would it be? (read our answers here)
  • What’s been your proudest moment? Big or small, in life or in career… tell us!
  • Who’s an inspirational figure in your life and why?
  • What’s the nerdiest thing you do in your spare time?
  • If you had to think of an awful tag line for OLIO, what would it be? Go on, make us laugh
  • If you had to pick an era/time in the past or future to have been born in, what would it be?
  • What’s your favourite emoji and why? Bonus — same question for your least fave!
  • What’s your go-to recipe? If it’s in support of Veganuary, then all the better, but not required!
  • Share 1 photo from the last week t give people a hint of what you’ve been up to (this one was asked after the Xmas hols)

  • What’s your favourite/go to joke?
