I heard you speak in Bristol last month. Re-visiting my notes and trying to share your insights with people now that I’m back in S Africa, the inspiration of that vision – which is so hard to hold as the world closes in – catches light again : those ideas – slow money, biomimicry for banks, organic thinking – how to make things work, not how to make the most profit . . . . Just trying to say thank you really.
Good job
