And I realize that that's such a profound shift that people are now not going outside.
They're not doing some of these things, which we did a lot of learning from.
So going back to the thing around losing people, I think for me it just reminds me, and maybe that's the universe telling me, that you'll see and experience things that will remind you that you need to do things differently.
as much as you can.
And one of the things I had in my book, which I shared and I got a lot of feedback back, particularly again from women, is for a long period, I said yes to everything.
I still have the same philosophy, but I was literally kind of obsessive about it.
If someone asks me, I would say yes.
As long as I could literally fit it into my schedule and it wasn't ethically against anything I believed in, I would say yes.
And I just ran sort of like
like a marathon every day trying to fit everything in that I possibly could but what they did is it just opened up the most extraordinary doors and I think that again is part of this how much can I pack in not to the point where I ever compromise my own health I'm very fortunate that's not the case I just do it because I love it like I literally love it but I also go I had that real sense of achievement of doing something that actually matters even if it only matters in my own head like it just feels like it's something to be done
So I actually got into technology when I went to London, so back in 88.
So it was really weird.
I was in industries and so I started in photography.
I was a very keen photographer and so photography was starting to change.
And I could see where technology was starting to have an influence on it.
And then I ended up in fashion and moving to Turkey, which is where I got into the fashion industry.
Everything was becoming automated.
Like I was watching these very old big beige machines go.
doing a lot of the kind of the set up and the pattern making and doing and you know people were starting to do accounts and the internet was it's towards the latter stage of that was starting to come about and I was just watching and seeing this just absolute transformation of business you know so
Even though at this time a computer was still limited to people in the office, it wasn't sort of a home computer, it was a reasonably new thing.
