What needs to be real-time?

What doesn’t?

I am not so bothered which tool it is, just the desire to improve people’s lives by using better tools was my takeaway!

It’s so cool to see transformational leaders focused on people and mastering tech, not being slaves to tech.

Very well done! And the coffee’s not bad too.
