Well, hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are in the world. Gary Turner here, Possibility Expander, operating at the intersection of international sales, people and culture, equity inclusion and sustainability. And those intersections come into play very clearly with this statement. How often if you work in any business, but particularly within a corporate space, do senior leaders, executives, anybody tell you that business isn't politics? Just think about that for a moment. Take a deep breath. Business isn't politics. And I've just got to ask, really? So the reason I'm asking really is quite simple. I've been in a meeting with a multi, multi, multi-billion euro turnover chemical manufacturer today. And I just want to share with you a few quotes that I made a name of, I made a note of. So one is this, quote, The critical issue between the US and China is helping us currently. Closed quote. Open quote. If they fall over, it would be good for us. Closed quote. I just want to just say with those two quotes alone, which aspects of what I just shared with you is not political, i.e. is not grounded in geopolitical tensions. To what extent is your business or anybody's business disconnected from harm, i.e. communities far away from our own shores being paid next to nothing to produce the things that we're so used to in the West? Business isn't politics? Really? Over to you. What do you think? Is business politics? Is it not politics? Is it more complex and it's a mix of things? I want your feedback and I'd love to hear from you at garry.turner at radicality.co.uk. That email there, garry.turner at radicality.co.uk. Is business political? Yes or no? What's your view? I love your thoughts. All the best for now. And maybe see you around.
