Global Citizen

Tomorrow's one of my favorite festivals of all time.

It's the Global Citizen Festival.

Wow.

Do good while enjoying yourself.

I can't make a case for reducing it, but it makes a heck of a lot of sense.

It's also interesting, you know, coming from Sony, hearing now just the connectivity between all these global markets.

You mentioned Global Citizen to start, but, you know, like When I was with Sony, even in the Latin group, like Spain, where I think she's from, right? And the repertoire comes from there.

A guy named Jose Maria Barabat, I think, is probably somewhat involved making that happen.

I'm going to be so boring.

I'm going to guess Global Citizen when Beyonce performed with Jay-Z.

That's my guess.

That was at F&B.

I'm still going to stick with that.

No, they would have filled more of that.

What venue? I think Global Citizen probably cut off, you know, when they cut off half the stadium and then they only face one way.

Okay.

In no short part to their captain, Alex Pearce, limping off injured before the final siren.

Well, Fremantle now look like they could lose their major sponsor, thanks to their captain, who's gone off at a Global Citizen seminar today saying he feels uncomfortable about the fact that the Frio Footy Club is sponsored by Woodside, who, of course, deal in oil and gas.

Now, Woodside have sponsored the Fremantle Dockers since 2010, and over the past 16 years have injected something between $28 and $30 million into the football club.

Alex Pearce, the captain of the team, was being interviewed at an event by a St Kilda female player.

Hey, so, so Fran, you, you, you and Cisco are involved in two of my favorite organizations anywhere.

Of course, Global Citizen-

Mm-hmm

... which is fighting every day, uh, poverty, uh, extreme poverty.

And so when you have these moments where we can come together in support, um, in support of learning, how we s- mentor each other, I think those are the moments that actually give you the energy to show up to the tough times as well.

Mm-hmm.

And I would just say thank you for being such a big supporter of Global Citizen.

Oh my gosh.

And it had been such a profound influence on my life that I wanted to have that increase out and have that benefit expand out for people.

And having just come off of building Global Citizen, which was this incredible movement, very outward focused towards making the world a better place where we raised millions and then billions of dollars around ending extreme poverty.

I also had this deep reflection around what would it look like to focus on the inner world and the inner work? Because in my view, the two are inextricably linked.

To hold the space for outer transformation, whether it be individually or collectively, we have to do the work inside.

I feel closer to that love internally.

But as it is materialized in physical form in a partnership and ideally, God willing, in the form of a family that I can create with that partner in the not so distant future, I don't feel any closer to that goal.

And I thought earlier today, why am I sad? And at first I was like, you know what, maybe I feel like in the previous decade I had achieved so much, whether it be with Global Citizen, whether it be hosting as well as the Dalai Lama, launching Peak Mind.

And I don't feel I had the commensurate level of achievement over the course of the last decade.

Yes.

And she didn't wanna wear it on stage for Global Citizen.

I had had it for Global Citizen for the p- performance, and she was afraid it was too like risque and the conversation would shift.

And then it found, we like built a whole set around this look.

Yeah.

Because you did it with Tiwa Savage.

That Tiwa came online, came to the Breakfast Club, apologized on your behalf for your comments, and you go on stage on Global Citizen and say, sorry, not sorry.

You can do that to a Tiwa.

Don't worry.
