Here I am running a conference of all places in Zambia in December. So when I was at the Draper Venture Network, we ran conferences every year and it's always hard work. And every single time I'd say, I'm not doing this again. And when I left Draper Venture Network, I said, right, that's it. I'm done.
However, I realized that the value of hosting, uh, Conference like this is it's bringing people together and it's one of the fastest ways to bring people together. So at the capital and culture conference, we're bringing together investors, entrepreneurs, cultural tastemakers to talk about what it takes to build a new Africa, a new Zambia, a new kind of economy in a world that is really transitioning very fast.
So I'm excited about it. Join us December 13th.
