| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion, and welcome to the B.OF podcast. |
| 0:08.5 | Voices is the most stimulating gathering of fashion industry leaders on the planet. |
| 0:13.5 | What makes voices different is that we mix our industry with fascinating people from other sectors, |
| 0:18.6 | from the worlds of economics, activism, health and wellness, |
| 0:22.6 | medicine, film, philanthropy, technology, media, and so many more. |
