[ MUSIC ] We'll start with you Andrew. Which business leader had the biggest impact in 2014? What do you think? You gotta go with Apple CO Tim Cook. I mean his announcing that he's gay is just a, a watermar -, you know, watershed moment for Fortune 500 companies, for companies of all different sizes. I mean its a, to quite literally come out there and say to the world you know this is okay and its not going to affect our business in a meaningful way is. A really strong message. And oh, by the way, the iPhone 6 was a hit. Yeah. [ LAUGH ] And the stock's up 40 % or something like that. So. Okay, so Brian, who's your pick? I think the Pope. I gotta go with the Pope. [ LAUGH ] You know, he's he's established himself as probably the most popular pope in maybe centuries. But you know, and the latest thing he's done now apparently is brokered this deal with the United States and Cuba, or have a, a big role in that. And ,. You know, he's an amazing leader. Mr. Alan. Did you ask business leaders or eh, leaders generally. I mean [ CROSSTALK ] the Pope actually has become a business leader. [ CROSSTALK ] Me I would say he's a business leader at this [ UNKNOWN ] [ CROSSTALK ] He's also, he's also doing a turn, a business turn around at the Vatican. That's right. Yeah, yeah. It is business leader though so. Does, does this leader well, well look, I mean this isn't this isn't entirely good. Story but Mary Barra has been a fascinating figure to watch. It was at the very beginning of the year that General Motors, she, she became, late last year, became the CEO of General Motors. First women to have that position and then at the beginning of the year the massive recall and she was called before Congress. Very tough. Very difficult to deal with. I don't think we know yet how that's going to turn out. But certainly somebody who adop, grabbed a lot of our attention over the course of the year. [ MUSIC ]
