Tony FalkensteinGUEST
So anyway, so I was, we were living in London at the time, and the principal of Onehunga High School, which is a school I went to, he was over in London on a Wolfson Scholarship.

Tony FalkensteinGUEST
And so he came and lived in our flat for a couple of days, and we went down to the local restaurant and drank a bottle of wine and, and, and I said to him, "Chris, I think we should do something.

Tony FalkensteinGUEST
Why don't we start a business school at Onehunga?" And, and he, "Oh, yeah.

Tony FalkensteinGUEST
You'll bring a proposal to me when you get, go to the board." And so the next year when we were back, I did get a, give a proposal to him, which was really that to me the business education is the key to economic prosperity.

Tony FalkensteinGUEST
And people who are in areas where they're not, they don't learn about business, their, you know, their parents are, uh, tradesmen or, or whatever, and so they don't talk about business around the, around the dining table, which is probably something like 70% of people, they're not getting the same opportunity.
