The UK

Grew up in Lancashire in a mill town and ended up getting into the University of Manchester which no-one thought I could or should or would. I became a lawyer and then went into banking, eventually working with Credit Suisse. Left there and went into business as part of the first dot com wave. I became a pioneer in the cloud space and ended up being an investor in tech, communications and telecoms. All this led to me being spotted by some researchers and a role on a secret millionaire programme which led to being a dragon on BBC's Dragon's Den. More recently, I've started companies again. One was a 3D mountain bike business called Atherton Bikes and another was Implement AI with the idea to help businesses, not just talk about AI but actually implement this technology.

I think as you move in from this overview effect, you've got your continent, your country, and then your locality, neighbourhood, local community, and start thinking about the people with whom you live with and who you impact with your own actions. If we all have these incrementally small overview effects, I think the world would be a better place.
