Partner of 20 years James became more senior fellow Alexander, who is 31, and the first question was about how and where they met.
Hey! We’re just friends, and now partners. He just walked up to me Smoking a hookah, and we became friends, and after a while he asked me what I want in the future.

— It was not you because of the age difference and the imbalance in communication?
— In some subjects it exists, because I am a child of a different generation, that is, I sometimes have views on life are different, but they did not interfere with work.
