Founders think meeting a billionaire will chance their business.
I met one. What did it change?”
Last week, I spent a few days on Necker Island with Richard Branson as part of an Entrepreneurs’ Organization event. Beautiful setting, incredible hospitality, unforgettable activities.
I expected some great insights and learnings from the conversations with Richard himself, an entrepreneur who’s achieved what we all can only dream about.
Here’s what I didn’t expect:
The most valuable conversations didn’t happen with Sir R, they happened with the other entrepreneurs in the room.
People solving problems in businesses with real constraints.
People asking the same questions I’m asking.
What stayed with me wasn’t a quote from the stage or a moment of brilliance from Sir R.
It was the honesty in late-night conversations. The feeling of being seen and understood among peers. The shared challenges and the practical ideas. The feeling of, “Oh, you’re dealing with that, too?”
For me, inspiration doesn’t come from proximity to icons, it comes from relatable peers. People who understand my world because they’re living in it.
And that’s the reason I keep coming back to EO over and over again, for the peer-to-peer learning that actually changes how I lead.
The trip was unforgettable, the setting was surreal, but the real value?
→ The people sitting next to me, not the one standing on the pedestal.

Why AI Will Make Argentina Shine Even More
There’s been a lot of talk about how AI is changing outsourcing. I’d like to share what I’m seeing. For years, outsourcing meant sending low-complexity tasks to the cheapest countries: – Data entry. – Basic support. – Repetitive work. The kind of labour that was time consuming, and could be done with little judgment. AI is wiping that model out and the countries that built their economies on routine, high-volume work are feeling it first: – Philippines, – India, and – Bangladesh. And then there are the less prominent outsourcing countries that I believe will now shine more than ever. What countries are those? There are tasks where AI can do 80% of the task, but the remaining 20% require something completely different: – reasoning, – communication, – clarity, and good judgment. And that is exactly where Argentina shines. When I first started working with Argentina, I didn’t know what to expect, and what I found was something AI can’t replace: – creativity, – sharp thinking, and a level of – cultural alignment that makes collaboration effortless. What used to be “outsourcing” has become something different: Smart outsourcing. People who supervise AI, not compete with it. People who can make decisions, solve problems, and communicate clearly and use AI to 10x their output. That’s why I am so excited about the future of Argentina because the people in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Rosario are not “cheap talent.” They’re exceptional talent in a world where exceptional matters more than ever. AI is changing outsourcing and as it does that, it’s also revealing something important: The future belongs to countries with judgment, adaptability, and talent density. And Argentina is one of the strongest examples I’ve ever seen.
