My job is to make sure that businesses grow in a way that’s better, better for their business, of course, but better for the planet, better for people. And I need to make sure also that people understand that innovation really is not just about newness and shiny objects, but about betterment, um, that, uh, you know, we, we go about reinventing the wheel, um, because to me like, frankly, I mean, the idea that the, the wheel has already been invented, like with all this new data that we have new learning that we have, um, new, um, human conditions and planetary conditions. Um, and that no one is like challenging, always of like doing things it’s like kind of lazy.
