Hi Ward, This conversation will play automatically once the live broadcasting ends today. We’ll also have it up on our YouTube playlist (see the link to TOC Video on the Home page) by the end of the week.
When will this be available through your archive? It wasn’t listed in On Demand when I just checked.
Extremely insightful from two fundamental thought leaders. A privilege to hear them
