And so many incredible people I've met through One Young World, all united by a belief that brilliant young leaders are going to create a better future than we've been able to. And let's help them. And therefore, you have a common bond and a common platform.

One of our amazing counselors who's been a counselor every year, Bob Geldof is one of them, who's just one of the world's great humans who created Live Aid and Band Aid. But Mohammed Yunus, who's now the acting prime minister of Bangladesh, founder of Microfinance, has been a counselor every single year, just an incredible human being. And it's a real privilege to get to know these people.

Yeah, I think so. But I think also, you know, I mean, there's an amazing organization called Marketing Academy, and I do mentoring for them. But honestly, I get every bit as much out of it as I give, I'm sure. And I think it's things like that. I think often, you know, helping other people ends up helping you.

I went several times and lectured at Harvard with Mike Tushman, who's the guy who'd done the Havas case. And again, it was nice to say going to Harvard to lecture, but I learned so much in those sessions. It was some of the questions and was really interesting and helpful in sort of perfecting the business plan and deck for the business.

think that their gender or race has ever held them back, and obviously not a single white man in the room put their hand up, and pretty much every woman did. There's a great mug in a shop down the street which says, behind every great woman is a great woman, and I think that should be more true.
