If you knew then, what you know now... what would you tell yourself?
In her BBC Radio 4 podcast Young Again, journalist and broadcaster Kirsty Young takes her guests back to meet their younger selves and asks the question: if you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently?
The importance of making time for quiet reflection is something Melinda refers to many times in her conversation with Kirsty. “I was just really curious about these adventure games and would play those mystery games on the computer,” says Melinda. “If you think of it from my perspective...,” says Melinda, “to have a set of liberal teachers – basically all female teachers in my school, and all Catholic nuns – I just assumed the world was that way. I assumed women could be anything they were, so I didn't know we needed to fight for this change.”
“I think sometimes when you're wealthy, you walk into a room and you just assume you're the most important person in the room or people treat you as if you're the most important person in the room, or they treat you as if you know something you don't know,” reflects Melinda.Melinda on the biggest misconception people have about the super rich
“At that time,” Melinda picks up the story, “the then CEO Patty Stonesifer said: ‘It's really important that we don't let anybody shorten this name to the Gates Foundation because they will always assume it's Bill’s foundation,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, right.’ Like I hadn't thought of that so we made sure everywhere we went it was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and that was a sign of equality, which we did and do have at the Foundation.
