I guess, first of all, can you tell us a little about, bit about your own experience with MND and what it is, uh, how it affected you and your family?
44:21
Uh, yes.
44:22
Motor neurone disease, uh, unfortunately took my second wife from me, uh, back in 2010.
44:29
She was, uh, on, working for IMG over in Australia and, uh, um, was suffering some complications.
44:37
Went to see a doctor over there who referred her back to, uh, uh, Professor Shaw here in Sheffield, and was then diagnosed in 2009 with motor neurone disease.
44:51
And, uh, within 18 months, uh, she was taken from me, unfortunately, which, uh, was a very sad occasion for all concerned.
45:01
You know, my two kids were very keen, uh, on Miche.
46:46
How did the kind of experience of Michelle's diagnosis and the time after her death and, affect you and your family? Kind of, I, I guess you more on a, a personal level.

JoeyHOST

Yeah, awkward for you [laughs].

'Cause I was like, "Joey never answers his phone," so I rang him, and he's like, "Oh, yeah, with my family.

...
4:49
so you opened a bar and you've obviously talked about that.
4:52
So there's so much where you could do it, but what is like the logistics of that? Like when...
4:56
I'm sure many people have fantasized about, "Oh, I should open a business in this other country."

TV crew watching you.
40:24
You, we brought it up briefly, but what's on, one thing I wanted to talk to you guys about, having actually, you know, worked with Japanese companies, made your own companies, is you hear a lot about the inefficiency of Japanese businesses, how there's just to- so much...
40:36
Not, not only from you guys setting up a business, but, like, uh, you know, I've just, I've read anecdotes of, like, in a, in a company, you have to move the stapler here.
