God gave me a weird gift, which was a logistics gift about buses. Through that, we were blessed

and made a lot of money. I love making money. Now, I don't love money, but I enjoy making money.

That's the way God wired me. I'm an entrepreneur. I get a kick out of doing deals and making money.

But that's a different experience from the kick you get when you then take that money

and you give it to somebody, say, thank you Lord that you, through our stewardship,

enable these people to go and do this incredible work for you.

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. It's so good to be back for another fantastic week of listening to a wonderful story of faith.

And if you're new to us, inspired, it's all about meeting different people, different journeys. I am sick to death of the relentless bombardment on the media, 24-7 news cycles. Get off it because it just, well, maybe five minutes a day is good to know what's going on the world. But otherwise, you're just letting someone else curate all the bad stuff going on the world to make you more depressed and cynical and fearful and anxious.

And so we need to hear good news.

And I've got no doubt this week you're going to be inspired because we've got with us

the wonderful Sir Brian Souter.

Welcome Brian.

Hi, nice to be with him.

Oh, it's so good to have you.

So Brian, I don't want to say too much because the sort of CV, if you like, of what he's done has been so much.

You would associate him with stagecoach, with his sister, Anne.

He founded stagecoach.

And we could talk about megabus and Southwest Trains and being knighted in 2011 for services to, what is it?

Services to transport and the voluntary sector.

The voluntary sector would be the suit of charitable trusts who has given away.

I mean, Brian would be one of the, well, probably the most generous Scott in the world living today

with his wife giving away into the over 100 million pounds.
