What are three attributes that got you where you are now?

I try to (not always successfully) remain curious, fearless, and live by “the golden rule.” Golden Rule = treat others as you would have them treat you.

 

What advice would you give to someone who is looking to enter the market?

Build a career around your passions, and soak up mentorship.

 

Pre-workday, what is your morning ritual?

I’m 1 month into a new morning workout routine. Hopefully it sticks.

 

What about your job keeps you up at night?

It’s not the job; it’s the teenage kids.

 

In an industry brimming with information, what isn’t talked about enough?

The reach and influence of digital creators, and digitally native brands and franchises.
