Hi everybody, I'm Nicola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovan Wealth Fund.

And today, it's an honor to welcome Jack Dorsey, one of the most visionary entrepreneurs

in the world.

Jack is the co-founder and CEO of Block and also the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter.

So, Jack, you really put the stamp on the world.

Welcome.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

If we go back and kick off with Twitter, who is now, of course, renamed X. Where did the idea come from?

Well, it was a long time in the making.

When I was a kid, I was always fascinated by how cities worked,

just how these things that were so large to me at the time actually like functions and I got into maps and

just I would obsess over them and stare at them and try to understand what was happening in any one

particular neighborhood or area and that led me to programming because my dad brought home a

computer one time and I wanted to draw a map

on the screen so that I could start playing with it. And I tell myself how to do that, I figured

it out. And little by little, I worked my way to a field called dispatch, so dispatching taxi cabs and ambulances and police cars.

And it was a way to put information on the map, information about the city.

And I eventually ended up working at the largest firm in New York.

And I had this very rich map of everything happening in New York City.

But it was missing one thing which were the people and what they were doing, where they

were.
