Meet Two Teenage Leaders Who Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity (We Aren't Kidding)!

Today's show features a conversation recording at Web Summit with two future (and present) leaders : Raya Mardani and Aarav Sharma. They are 15 and 16 respectively and already building incredible solutions with a real mission and purpose.

They joined me on stage for a talk called "Young Minds, Bright Futures" and it was too good not to follow up and record with them both whilst here.

As Web Summit themselves put it, "Gen Z hold immense potential to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges". Listening to these two leaders, it's impossible to disagree.

Natalie Banner describes her role at Wellcome Trust, talks about red line (not those ones) and how people need to see real impact to endorse the use of their personal data.
