Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Founders: Olio CEO Tessa Clarke's fight against food waste
Q: Tessa, you are one of those founders whose idea sounds incredibly simple once you've heard it. A decade ago, after struggling to find someone to take perfectly good food that would otherwise have gone in the bin, you asked a simple question, why isn't there an app for that?
The answer is that I was frustrated by the waste I saw in everyday life, and I realized there was a real demand nearby for sharing food. That insight, combined with a stubborn belief that technology could simplify redistribution, led to the creation of Olio and a commitment to scale it into a global solution for reducing waste and improving social impact.
The BRIC architect's warning for the West
Q: But what would that involve? And what sort of economic advice is Andy Burnham getting?

The BRIC architect's warning for the West
Q: What is the purpose then? When you come in, this Institute Brics Plus Thinking, what's its role going to be in all of this?
The Institute Brics Plus Thinking aims to foster collaboration between Western and non-Western universities to find real solutions for infectious diseases, climate change, and global AI governance, moving toward a system where governance and research reflect the momentum of Brics countries.
Follow the Money: The Wimbledon business model
Q: Is that an on-going discussion for you guys at Wimbledon? What's the situation there?

Founders: Charlotte Tilbury on beauty, business and confidence
Q: What do you want your legacy to be?
