What did you want to be when you grew up?

What’s been your hardest lesson?
That you can’t trust everyone, a bit heavy to write but a lesson I’ve had to learn.
What/where is your escape?
Any form of travel or adventure, just the feeling of discovery.
Favourite Pixar movie character?

Nicola Adams, for her determination, humility and for always speaking up for what she believes in.
What is your secret to success?
Ha I’m not there yet! But the resilience to keep going comes from what can only be described as an overwhelming belief in the big idea.

What is your life luxury?
Good food.
Who is the Founder you aspire to be?
