Networking: It's what you do, not where you are | Kingsley Aikins on The Shortlist

And I think there's another dynamic out there. Possibly for the first time in history, it's now more important what you do than where you are. You know, that's fascinating. I've always been interested in the whole diaspora connectivity that countries have, and I've worked with about 30 countries helping them develop relationships with their diaspora. Because in the old days, your geography dictated your identity. If you lived in Southern California, that's who you were, that's where you were, and that was it. But now you can live in Southern California and be totally committed back to Scotland or Poland or Portugal in. You know, that's an interesting sort of hyphenated life that people can lead. So I think that's fascinating. And, you know, we've all embraced this zoom thing. In fact, I have to say, my mates, I've got these mates a bit like yours in the poker. They call me a baby zoomer because I'm doing so many of these. In fact, one rather nastily calls me a Zimmer Zoomer, which I think is a little bit tough. But. But. But I actually think it's really liberated us in many ways. And it's liberated, we now say in our business, you know, geography is history. It just doesn't matter where you are, what you do. The world is more a mosaic than a melting pot, which is another interesting way of looking at things.
