So, we just want to take a group photo when suddenly a phone rings. Ding ding ding ding. The German tourist picks up the phon ...

That's around 13,000 people.Our brains struggle to comprehend, understand, and visualize numbers larger than the amount that we can count on our fingers. So, to help you visualize what 13,000 people might look like, I asked AI to generate a picture for me. And this is what it came up with.I'd like you to keep that in mind throughout this speech. In ...

Let's talk about one more final one here and that theme has recently taken hold is whether international markets have been underperforming for so long that it is now maybe time to get into some of those.
