“I only got to where I am because people who could help me took the time to give me a leg up. I have been lucky to meet a lot of very generous people as I tried to get and stay on the greasy pole and have never forgotten it. From a purely selfish point of view, I am also hugely energised by spending time with talent and will seize any opportunity to do that. The School For Creative Startups is the perfect place to bump into it.”
