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

    Mark Twain's "Adventures of Tom Sawyer." Ben: Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey? . . . Tom: "Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?" . . . Ben: "Say, Tom, let ME whitewash a little."

    What's your favorite non-business book?

    Dune

    If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

    It isn't. I'd be doing exactly what I'm doing.

    What words of advice would you give your younger self?

    It's going to be much much better than you ever imagined in ways that you may never have imagined. Learn more. And look beauty and fun in life, and in everyone and everything you encounter.

    What's the most creative thing you've ever done?

    The discovery of a link between wicked problems and possibilities on my own path and the paths of others to founder opportunity fit and the opportunities that offer success at the intersection of ROI and impact.

    Which founders or startups do you most admire?

    Those ventures that might never have existed had the founders not created those ventures in the first place. And those founders who locked on to a vision that turned promises and possibilities into previously impossible realities.

    What's your super power?

    Listening, supporting and honoring great entrepreneurs on the cusp of their next new venture.
