I was once invited to speak at McKinsey. I started by asking, “how many of you have ever started or run your own business?” No one put their hands up. I then announced the name of my presention, “Anything is easy when you don’t have to do it”.
I’ve not been invited back.

@FilmCritHULK Not topical, but would be interested in some thoughts on Von Trier. Haven't seen anything of yours previously on him (may have missed it!)
