What are you reading? 

Lately my reading materials consist of several large textbooks and an abundance of online articles. But with downtime, I occasionally glance through things like the Onion, a Top 10 London guide (I’m going abroad there this summer), handball magazines, and leadership development books.

 

Your favorite website?

Google. It has everything I ever want to know and more at my fingertips. Maybe you’ve heard of it?

 

Your dream job?

Interior designer. Or even a designer for advertisements, menus, brochures, logos, etc.

Stanford eCorner. It has podcasts and videos from successful entrepreneurs. Helps to keep me motivated. Recommend videos from Guy Kawasaki and David Heinemeier Hansson.

 

Your dream job?

An international cricketer touring the world to warm destinations. I thought I was over cricket, but I recently went to a match at the beautiful Sydney cricket ground and it was a fantastic experience!
