It's not a pretty slide
Blue text says Final Thought (underlined). Then it says Please be real with yourself over who (underlined) you are reaching and whether that will *save any of us*. then underneath there are two bullet points. Doing what we have always done has failed. Sometimes the approaches that reach NEW AUDIENCES are not "respectable" or fantastic CV lines.
