Just a quick note to say how awesome the comments have been lately --and to apologize for having far less time to respond than I would like. I will be highlighting comments here to make up for it!

And please, don't call me "Mr." Umair is just fine :)

Hello Umair,

I just wanted to tell you that I greatly appreciate your posts and your recent talk at the Daytons Sessions. I'm fascinated by radical innovation, economics "of what's next", 21st century strategy, etc. I'm a 2nd year MBA student at NC State University. I've noticed that you once were pursuing a PhD at Oxford...do you have plans to return? I'd like to pursue a PhD upon graduation and am looking at primarily studying the aforementioned topics. Would it be possible to discuss this with you sometime?

Thank you very much,
Rob Walton
