Everything is interconnected. The moment you take philosophy, psychology, religion and business and look at the underlying commonalities, that's when you start looking at business in a different way.

I just don't like to talk about the past.

I'm building Segera to promote a different way of doing tourism.

We decided that sports, lifestyle and fashion were three elements that could be mixed together to a very unique formula. That's what we did: make Puma a very sports-fashion brand when, at the times, everybody talked about sports and sports performance and functionality. We said, 'Well, it's about more.'

There are a lot of things in business that are completely out of your control, but hard work isn't one of them.

Being in Newcastle is a very different way of life to Tenerife. The climate is very different but the city itself is beautiful and I love being here.

I've spent my career trying to help people without connections understand what's going on so that they have a chance of getting a fair shake from the connected and the powerful.

My career's had a lot of ups and downs. Once I started playing with John Peers in 2013, that gave me a huge lift, a lot of direction, which I needed.
