If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?
“Courage. We are facing large scale, global issues and we often shy away from them thinking we can ‘sit this out’. But I believe we live in such a highly connected web and every choice we make has a flow-on effect. So we need courage to step up and take action.”
