Welcome to the latest episode of Lunch with Shelley with our special guest Matt Swift. We’re hosting today’s episode at the great Bombay Club, which always gives off a very classy and international vibe, and it makes perfect sense to be here today because Matt also gives off a very classy and global vibe!

He’s also the Founder and Managing Partner at Montfort Advisory - a public relations and business development firm that provides bespoke executive advisory services – and he is the host and interviewer of The Swift Hour, a series of short video interviews with prominent government, non-profit, and business leaders.

Grab some Naan and join us for a fun and fascinating conversation that ranges from what navigating a new era will entail, Prince Harry, the next generation of AI, the importance of face-to-face interactions, life after Covid, resiliency, the do’s and don’ts of bloody Mary’s and what Matt’s last meal might be!
