And my name is 75 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.120 Machelo Surnameteke. I know a lot of people still know 76 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.560 me as Nick, and every time somebody say Nick, I 77 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:36.279 go like, well, this must be my former classmate or all. Yeah, 78 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:43.319 that name is actually being used for a very very 79 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.800 good papos because it was just for my work and 80 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.120 my school. So those things I'm long past and now 81 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:59.040 I'm back to Machilo Matake. And yes, nos, look, I 82 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:05.279 am a financial advice by profession, and obviously I work 83 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.560 as an executive at MA Take Business Investment started at 84 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:18.199 a corporate level, Discovery in particular, and established MBI at 85 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.000 some point. Our field of expertise it's more about giving 86 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:32.720 advice on certain categories of insurance. So besides the lifestyle 87 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.639 of golf, I mean artlet. I ran about four in 88 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:45.920 Comrades marathon in my life, finished all of them, and 89 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:53.360 I've taken part in quite a lot of marathons around 90 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:59.319 how they in an hout of again the country, and 91 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:07.839 I happened to also done thirteen two Oceans marathons. So 92 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:15.519 there's there's about I think three one two green numbers 93 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.439 and one blue number. Well it's two blue number, one 94 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.720 green number. So in essence, I've done four in Comrades 95 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.959 tad in two Oceans, and I've done just ten oly 96 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.920 Down marathons. Those are your ultramarathons. And I'm a very 97 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.680 passionate golfer. I play golf at least three times per 98 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:42.120 week and idle in my mind through the sports because 99 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.600 that's where the social life is. If you ask me 100 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:57.120 what actually made me to end up being so active 101 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:04.720 in either golf or or athletics, was precisely about trying 102 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:09.800 to sort of stay healthy. That's number one and obvious. 103 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.519 But again, I don't think I had passion for running, 104 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:20.720 to be quite honest, I never liked it. Yeah, I'm 105 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.360 being honest, Tony. I hated running so much that my 106 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.839 first marathon was only to prove to my ps that 107 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.319 I can also do this, and because they keep on 108 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.600 coming to me until such a time that I decided 109 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.319 I'm going to try this and I'm going to show 110 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.800 you because I liked just burning my upper body to 111 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:52.839 look nice then and also had a passion to sort 112 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:58.680 of do some short films in acting and stuff like that, 113 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.040 which didn't last. 114 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:00.600 Long longer lines. 115 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.079 I know. When they rooted me for running, I said, 116 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.759 but when am I going to get out of this 117 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.600 just running? I was so so creative about it. But 118 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.000 thanks to my friends, thanks to everyone that recruited me, 119 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:22.279 including the former president of the Lions, a very good 120 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.920 friend of mine. Obviously I won't mention his name, but 121 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.800 he's well known. He came to me and say, my friend, 122 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.120 we need to do this, and the day I said yes, 123 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.919 and then I received almost forty emails from him telling 124 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.200 me what I need to do, what type of running 125 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.039 issues and stuff like that, and I was already hurtful, 126 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.919 but that hurtful actually led me to go and run 127 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.200 and just prove to him that I can do this thing. 128 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.720 So ever since the first medal, in short, I never 129 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.080 looked back, you know, I never look back. So I 130 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:02.320 create this passion to evolve. Golf was something very intimidating 131 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.159 to me, to be honest, So because I found myself 132 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:11.480 in the business where I engage professionals and clients and 133 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.360 like minded individuals. On the course, a good friend of 134 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.879 mine who happened to be a business partner, has invited 135 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:29.120 me and he did not prepare. So here I am. 136 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:34.000 He booked a fourball. I'm included. We're playing past view, 137 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.039 you know, he said, we're going to play a view, 138 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:44.080 you know. Funny enough, I remember vivically that I was 139 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:49.279 wearing the formal shoes and I just come out of 140 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.840 work and we have the afternoon tea of I have 141 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.799 to hire everything from shoes to clve and as if 142 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:06.480 it's not enough, every single shot was surprisingly not going high, 143 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.759 let alone slicing and all that. I was actually asking myself, 144 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:15.919 is this a thread? And I hated golf so much 145 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.720 from that day because the whole day I embarrassed myself. 146 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.879 I could not hit the ball. A friend of mine 147 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.759 actually never told me. That was the first time. I 148 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:32.679 think it's like nearly fifteen years ago. Then I told 149 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.600 myself that if anything, nothing in this whole world end wrong. 150 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:43.440 Everything that's wrong. If the beginning was not well prepared, 151 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.720 the end will obviously reciprocate and it will reflect and 152 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:53.639 expose the exact beginning that you had actually impact on. 153 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.759 And I decided, you know what, when I have to start, 154 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.639 get the coach, go to the range. And I think 155 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.919 this is the attitude with me. I told myself, I'm 156 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.720 gonna go back and prove to him that I can 157 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.279 also play golf as soon as I got my lesson. 158 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.200 So it took me about six months of lessons, hitting 159 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:26.080 your shots, gentlemen, being very patient with me until such 160 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.840 a time I gained confidence, and before you know it, 161 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.320 I was the one where clearly annoyed them by inviting 162 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.399 them about. 163 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.600 You developed a patient after being thrown into the deep end. 164 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:49.360 Yeah, remember I read somewhere away they say in any 165 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:55.039 man's success, there's always a fear that's standing between him 166 00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:02.440 and just going to which their objectives. And I think 167 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.200 it was a problem with me because all these things 168 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.039 were intimidating me so much that if I can't do 169 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.840 it right, then I don't need to do it, you know. 170 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:17.480 But if somebody actually thrown me into the deep end 171 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.919 on that particular time and then I know what to rectify. 172 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:26.480 I still thank them so much because ultimately I developed 173 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.799 a passion. M hmm. 174 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.799 Now now masthematically, let let's talk about the two different spaces. Well, 175 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.519 you mentioned three spaces, of which one being marathon, which 176 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.000 is fast paced, I believe, and it requires a lot 177 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.960 of insurance. And then the acting, which I believe it's 178 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.559 more than just the physical appearance. But obviously your state 179 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.559 of mind is to be clear because you have to 180 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.879 remember the lines. And then now we're talking about gold. 181 00:12:55.159 --> 00:13:00.720 Now with these three different spaces which require different energy levels, 182 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.519 how did you then adjust from one to the other 183 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.720 every time you just stumbled upon these invites or these 184 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.960 challenges that were brought to you by your friends. 185 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.240 Ye, are a very good question because I guess it 186 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.879 was a question of number one. I hate a vacuum time. 187 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:26.679 That's that's the first. I always wanted to keep myself busy. 188 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:33.639 If if it's not studying, it must be physical activities 189 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.519 are awake. And that's how I've really tried to map 190 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:43.360 out my day. And I wanted to use my time 191 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:50.279 for things that I feel can ultimately be written into 192 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:55.759 the history books about myself. So I know zeuch about acting. 193 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.440 I don't want to lie to you. A friend of 194 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.679 mine who happened to be at actually in me because 195 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.600 when I was twenty six twenty seven, I was one 196 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.200 of those people that I decided to buy such a 197 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:15.759 big car because you want to be filled presence wise, 198 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.559 and I'm in business, so what you know. So for 199 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:24.960 that particular reason, he said to me, we need you 200 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.600 your physique. And again, at least you have something that 201 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.039 we can use in that film, because the short films 202 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:38.799 went necessarily your big short films. It was just one 203 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:45.240 day star at this exposure in terms of the talent 204 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.039 from the young actors, et cetera. So it happened to 205 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:50.879 be in the mix. And then I said, no, it's 206 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.919 fine as long as I'm still waking and I can 207 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.639 be able to and I will be able to do 208 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:06.559 it for the sake of my maybe passion. But eventually 209 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.519 I decided, no, man, this is not for me. So 210 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.000 it was a waste of time. As for the learning, 211 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.840 I find time my days that four am. I tell 212 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:25.240 my PIDs that if anything, I'm rain or shine, if 213 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:30.799 I have the program to prepare myself. I mean, my 214 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.679 wife knows this very well. That that pass. For I'm 215 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:40.639 on the road of been happy, making sure that that 216 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.240 two hours I clocked twenty one kilometers within maybe one 217 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.120 forty five one hour forty five minutes back at home, 218 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.559 preparing myself, taking kids to school, drop them off at seven, 219 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:58.279 and I was even breaking on one of the words 220 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.159 up group, telling friends that I'm the first one in 221 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.519 the office and the last one to leave, but I 222 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.960 still have the two that I spend so every morning 223 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:13.799 it's very important, tourney for anything, it is so important. 224 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:21.320 Then I have my whole day. Then I ask for 225 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:26.000 for a just one day of the week to perhaps participate, 226 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:33.200 involve at work. They know it's standards. Yeah, I will 227 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.399 play golf at least two to three times per week 228 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.080 m hm, because other days will be off the weekends. 229 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.720 Okay, yeah, sure, that's that's quite interesting. 230 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.799 Now I just want to find out, I mean, you're 231 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.720 so involved in in sports as a whole, if I 232 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.600 can put it that way, or in making sure that 233 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.720 you're keeping a healthy lifestyle. Now, if anything that I 234 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.159 want to find out for me is if you were 235 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:05.880 to look at golf and the athletic aspect of your life, 236 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.240 are there any lessons that actually put into each other 237 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.799 space to say, Okay, maybe in athletic athletics, like I said, 238 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.000 endurance stamina is one of the most important thing or 239 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.200 any mental lessons or mental disciplines that you actually picked 240 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.799 up from the marathons and incorporated them into your golf 241 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.759 or vice versa. 242 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:34.880 Yeah, Bunnie, I can say this in my mother tongue. Firstly, 243 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.640 mm hmm, I tell my peers that if it so 244 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:45.079 happened that God takes everything, and then I guess, I say, 245 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:52.759 at least and if I have my health, I think 246 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.640 I can still try and pick myself up. I can't 247 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.440 imagine a day with out trying and invest in my health. 248 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.720 Of course, at some point we're going to have commobilities, 249 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.079 but now we have the opportunity to delay those mobilities. 250 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:19.079 Two things that will keep it healthy is fitness and happiness. 251 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.839 And through thickness you are then able to sort of 252 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:30.519 like what you see the development of your body and 253 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:35.960 the endurance that comes with it. The sleep, by sleeping enough, 254 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.920 gives you so much peace and happiness that a lot 255 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:44.079 of people don't realize that. And again, because you sleep 256 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.799 on time, you wake up on time. The fact that 257 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:52.279 you have time management aspect of it. It's easy for 258 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.880 you to achieve those little goals because the first thing 259 00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.680 that is very, very very important in our life is time. 260 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:05.240 If you fail to manage time, you are more like 261 00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:09.160 a person who failed to manage their own money. And 262 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:14.599 that's precisely how I was taught. And again, getting into interviews, 263 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.480 meetings and everything, whether you are five minutes late is 264 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.160 a sign of disrespect. You don't do that. Tell people 265 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.839 that make it so for that it helps me so 266 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:31.960 much about how best can I manage my time? How 267 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.279 best can I rather prepare myself. I may not have everything, 268 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.400 but at least let me be proud of the health, 269 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:45.440 the fitness, you know, and ultimately build my happiness through it. 270 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.839 No, one hundred percent. 271 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.440 And the reason I was actually asking that, I mean, 272 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.119 you know, on the god of course, at least there's 273 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.599 options to say, am I taking a cart or am I. 274 00:19:58.640 --> 00:19:59.880 Taking a long walk? Now? 275 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.720 From an athletic like yourself, I just want to get 276 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.720 an idea which one would you prepare to do on 277 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.279 the golf course, taking that long walk or just a 278 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.880 cat for the day, to say, you know what I 279 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.920 run in the morning, Now I need to take a rest. 280 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.400 I hardly take a cant I don't. I do not 281 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:25.839 take a cant. In actual fact, in some of the 282 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.759 courses where I'm forced to take a cart, I hope 283 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:36.359 on off the can't I sometimes walk, you know at 284 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.319 my looking for me and I said, no, but I'm 285 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.079 catching up. I still have a conversation with myself and 286 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:47.559 I enjoy that so much. And besides, it actually contributes 287 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.119 to my golf and it helps me perhaps to prepare 288 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.200 for each shot as I walked, what's my ball? And 289 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.200 I'm used to it. I don't know at what point 290 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.920 will think I need to use a cart because using 291 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.720 a kite deprives you a little count of fitness that 292 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:13.000 you may have gained by just taking a walk, and 293 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:18.279 I just don't like using the cart. Y. 294 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.160 No, that definitely makes sense, and like you said, it 295 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.359 helps you prepare for the next shot and you're able 296 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.480 to have those small conversations with yourself. 297 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:28.319 So, Master Matak, I just want to find. 298 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:32.559 Out as the director and the founder of MBI, right 299 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.359 which basically, like you said, you focus on corporate clients 300 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.880 and SMEs. I just want to find out how important 301 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:46.039 the golf course environment is to you. As the founder 302 00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:50.880 and director when it comes to building and naturing relationships 303 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.039 with your clients. 304 00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:58.559 Yeah. Just not so long ago, I was telling my 305 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:09.480 my mate that if anything, every golf course is the 306 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:15.640 place where you find the like mind individuals. Mmm one 307 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:20.799 or the other. They will discuss their field of expertise, 308 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:27.599 be it they have influence in their companies or they 309 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:32.000 are decision makers in their companies. It took me time 310 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:37.759 to actually understand that concept. Yeah. And as I understood 311 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:44.000 the concept, then I thought, then what are the target markets? 312 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:49.119 Because not everyone on the golf course will somehow give 313 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.039 you the signages that you're looking for. Yeah, so you 314 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.599 need to work on those two things. One your target market, 315 00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:03.160 filter of expertise. I obviously the first thing that I 316 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.640 always say as a standard rule. I tell my colleagues 317 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.559 that the client is the main ingredient of our success. 318 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:18.720 So we thought a client, any shops will close. It 319 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.039 doesn't matter which type of shops. It can be a bank, 320 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.200 it can be a lot of it can be an 321 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.640 engineer company, it can be anything. For as long as 322 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.319 there's no client, there's absolute no need for that operate 323 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:39.640 because those are the ingredient of our success. In actual effect, 324 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:44.480 they are the main ingreds. So when I look at 325 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:52.039 why should we then set up an operational ability for 326 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.359 these people to knock at our doors? Yeah, I thought 327 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:01.119 to myself, and I hope I'm not going part your questions. 328 00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:07.440 As thought to myself that instead of waiting in my 329 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.359 office for the client, I must go to the client. 330 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:15.559 Where do I find my client. It's not at a 331 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:20.160 soccer field, it's not at the stadia. They are there 332 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:25.440 in the course, because eight out of ten times, these 333 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:32.680 are your decision makers, this are your company owners. These 334 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:37.200 are the like minded individuals that I can certainly classify 335 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:42.319 them as a target market. And as if it's not enough, 336 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.119 I will then make it much more comfortable by getting 337 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.960 them in one room. Can it can be the club, 338 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.319 restaurant or anything. Just so we sit and at times 339 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.799 have a discussion and before you know it, business needs 340 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:05.519 to be circulated amongst ourselves. And that's not monopoly, it's 341 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.559 an ideological common objective. 342 00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.319 Mm hm. 343 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:16.400 No, one hundred percent, master mateka. I think we can 344 00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.039 take our three minute break right now and then when 345 00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:22.200 we come back, I actually want us to delve more 346 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.880 deeper into the social golf aspect and business as a 347 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.839 whole to say, how do we then capitalize as golfers 348 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.720 on the golf course or as entrepreneurs on the golf 349 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.960 course to make sure that we do not miss those opportunities. 350 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.599 And what can one look out for when having conversations 351 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:43.000 with people on the golf course in order for you 352 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:47.759 to past out sell yourself and secondly, to solve solutions, 353 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.640 because I believe every single business objective is to solve 354 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.200 solutions for its clients. So if we can go for 355 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.960 the three minute break and then when we come back, 356 00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:59.279 we will delve more into this conversation and yeah, we 357 00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.079 can get your sights on it at some stuff. All right, 358 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.359 ladies and gentlemen, we're going for that three minute break, 359 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.519 and then when we come back, please make sure that 360 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.680 in the interim you refill those twenty litersbaccas of water. 361 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:13.319 I am sure they are empty at the moment, because, 362 00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:16.400 like I said, we're going to have an insightful conversation. 363 00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:20.599 And you know, there's something that our guests actually pointed 364 00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:23.519 out today. I thought he was just into athletics and golf, 365 00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.680 and then he mentioned something about eighteen. So we learned 366 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.240 as we converse with people. So it was a great 367 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.359 one to find out.
