"Again, it is always about the people. Everything revolves around people. The people in government need us outside the government and the people outside the government need the people in government. So, we’re partners in progress. I did work in the public sector, so it gives me some experience. However, I don’t think it gives us any unfair advantage. I think what it has just done is that it makes us better prepared to help solve problems. Now that I am wearing the shoes of the private sector, it also helps me to know where the shoes pinches the most and in that regard, I advise the government or make requests that will be beneficial to all parties concerned."

I am obvious of the fact that in the last seven years, you have kept your contacts in public service despite running The Temple Company, which has evolved into a global conglomerate. How have you leveraged on these contacts to advise and probably proffer solutions to some of the challenges of the creative and entertainment sector?
