Because this is the week the world focuses on, where key figures troubleshoot global problems face to face, it's important we nail the interviews perfectly. That means content prep -- talking out the issues, the angles that matter most to our viewers. As you can see, Maria, Katie and I dedicated a significant portion of time to getting the interviews just right. And with 40 guest interviews about to start in a matter of hours -- that time was significant throughout the day.

Ciao from Davos!
