He said, David, number one, make sure you give me your best people. Number two, I don't want this to be the last time I see you because he obviously knew that I'd turn up photo opportunity and then probably move up. But so that was really, I mean, I think a lot of good things that have ended up happening to me and great people I've got to meet.

Actually, the start point has been not how can I meet a really interesting person, but trying to help someone or trying to solve something, which is sort of then indirectly Little silly example. One of our brilliant One Young World ambassadors was doing something very smart in the business world. And I was helping him, just advising.

And he ended up launching a business with Biz Stone, the Twitter medium jelly founder. And through that, I got to know Biz. And then one day we were chatting and he had the opportunity to invest $20 million in Pinterest. And we said, well, hey, can we invest that? We invested the $20 million in Pinterest and did really, really well.

Yeah. All of that happened because my start point was mentoring and helping someone. At no point did I think, if I give some of my time up to help this person, it's going to lead to a good place. It just did. And I think often that karma will happen.

And then the more you just get into those, so like the more, you know, when you're seen to be helping someone like Kofi with his climate campaign, someone else is doing really interesting stuff. Hey, can you, you know, so we got involved in helping Richard Branson with the B team. And so a lot of these things can lead.

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.

But it's all come about because we're united by a belief that We can create a better future if we empower young leaders.

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. Just again, the year of gardening leave,

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.

So I think sometimes it's not like, oh my God, I've got to go and help this person. It's in doing that, it's going to help you. But then I also think, and I think one of the things that I've been very, focused on throughout my career is promoting senior women, putting women into CEO roles.
