I mean that that I think is a valuable lesson for lots of people.
voice-verified
And I I've seen him again to declare like he Ivan has done a lot of events as MC for the Business Post group, you know, our events division.
voice-verified
So I've seen him work and I've I've appeared at some of these events, I've seen the prep that he he puts into these things.
voice-verified
Like this is not someone who just rocks up.
voice-verified
and you know starts talking on the hoof.
voice-verified
He's done his homework.
voice-verified
He in he's particularly in sort of the property area where we do a lot of work, he's well invested and well knowledgeable of of what's going on in that sector.
voice-verified
So I mean he's someone who does his homework.
voice-verified
Like I presume it's the old old habit of reading a cabinet brief before you go to cabinet and making sure you're on top of the detail.
voice-verified
That practice certainly hasn't eluded him or departed him.
voice-verified
But again, I think you know what you're seeing and I think I remember when he read when he published his memoir back a a a while ago, he talked about, you know, there being different phases or you know of your life, you know, when the kids are really small and you you're you're in that and then when the kids grow up it's about finding that connection with your partner.
voice-verified
But also I think, you know, he's clearly someone who's f managed who works hard
voice-verified
But has found enough space in his life to enjoy.
voice-verified
Like he l obviously loves his racing and he loves going to all of that and he loves his soccer, etc.
voice-verified
So someone who seems to have I think managed more than most to find a decent work life balance, albeit at sixty, six years of age, and he's still working.
voice-verified
But also as well, I I I think what was struck me, and again when we were talking about Dennis O'Brien, in the context of him getting that job in News Talk,
voice-verified
You know, he talked about not there not being any riding instructions bar being pro business.
voice-verified
You know, there was an element of you know, the the mantra for the station was not to adopt a sort of a public sector or public sector union mindset as Orti is sometimes accused of o of adopting, but one of very much adopting a pro business and pro enterprise kind of standpoint, which I thought the market probably badly needs, you know what I mean, as a good counterbalance to to Montrose's.
voice-verified
he was
voice-verified
But yeah, ultimately, listen, another great guest for us to to get on the Business Post Podcast.
