Fantastic open water swim this morning - water temp a very pleasant 22.5C. So friendly at Luxborough Lake!

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Owen Fitzpatrick CSP Global Speaking Fellow who asked insightful questions.

Fun article on charisma by ⁦Henry Mance⁩ Financial Times. “Ultimately, our brains, and increasingly our media ecosystem, are not optimised to choose the best people to do the job. Either we compensate for that or we live with the consequences.” on.ft.com/3J1HVAN
