You know, it's a bit like, you know, in telecoms, the penetration of mobile actually went super high because ultimately what they did, the jump generation, they never built any ADSL cable, et cetera, et cetera. You know, it's like, you know what? Screw it.
We just jump directly to the next generation. You mentioned the global element there of, you know, Taiwan and Indonesia and then Germany. You live in Barcelona and you have a remote team. You very much believe in the power of remote teams. Can you unpack that for me? Why? So not everything is good about remote, first of all.

What's bad about remote? I mean, like the human contact, you know, I think as well. I mean, at some point you need to be with people and so on, especially when you're early on in your career and so on. For some people it doesn't work, you know, be alone at home and so on.

How often do you get together now? Once a year. So you do once a year meetups, that's frequent. That's really good for the loneliness pandemic. Well done, Anton. Once-a-year meetups, that's the downside. Why do we think it's great?

A few things that are very good. You get a lot more efficient in the way you're running meetings. Meetings are a lot more efficient when you run things remotely, meaning you can actually have meetings of... 15 minutes or 30 minutes, it works. A meeting of 15 minutes remotely works. In the real world, it doesn't work, a meeting of 15 minutes.

The second aspect, I feel like it's a great equalizer versus physical meetings in the sense that dominant people get flattened out by the video conference system. For example, I know I have a dominant nature. So where I sit in the room matters. And then the presence you can have physically, you know, in a meeting room matters, you know, because we talk a lot about diversity and so on.

I think that the diversity aspect that is a bit overlooked is introvert versus extrovert. And I think in the world of remote, I think it gives a much stronger chance to introvert people, more introvert people, to have a deeper impact in meetings compared to in real life. The system into where you raise a hand to talk, you don't really raise a hand in a physical meeting.

You know, like some people just don't get the opportunity to say what they want to say in a physical meeting, you know, because it did not happen. You know, people... people tend to cut off each other, et cetera, et cetera. So sometimes the dynamic can be quite polluted.
