Q&A

What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?

Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
Don't Send a Resume - Jeffrey Fox
How Rich People Think - Steve Siebold

What was the most impactful class you took in school?

Top Three:
Interpersonal Relations
Public Speaking
Negotiation

What's an obstacle you've overcome?

My board didn't think I had enough "experience" and the independent board members got in my head with over analysis and critique. In the end, I learned a lot, powered through, got stronger & ended up becoming GM running the Dyn business for 3 years.

What's your favorite non-business book?

The Count of Monte Christo - best vengeance story ever told.
