Basically 30 and under, you know, the sweet spot is sort of 20 to 30 because, you know, typically sort of sub 20, this isn't always true, but usually under 20, most people haven't really had a big impact in the world yet. And we're really about 20.

real impact it's not with all due respect hey someone raised some money in a bake sale at school you know it's not yet genital mutilation abolished in the gambia or they you know had a rate law passed in 37 states in the us it's that kind of level and we are a mix of The world of business, the world of charities and NGOs, the world of politics, the world of journalism.

We have a Journalist of the Year Award every year. We have a Politician of the Year Award every year. I mean, I think without commenting on the election this year, I mean, the fact that up until recently, we were looking at two old white male candidates, neither of whom particularly inspirational, you know, says, shouldn't we get more young people into politics?

And I think it is still one of the ways of driving the most change, you know, the quickest, but it's not necessarily a career that young people are drawn towards. But no, it's kind of all-encompassing from the world of business, the world of charity, the world of entrepreneurs, so...
