I recently did a few press profiles and they had ‘fun’ questions in them for me to answer. I thought to pass on a few .. (until the articles get published):

• What is the best/worst advice you have ever received?
• ‘Do the right things, money comes’
• ‘Socks match pants, not shoes’
• What bit of technology would you like to have with you if stranded on a desert island and why?
• A satellite phone so I could call once I had a good tan.
• Who helped you get where you are today?
• My wife. She is a great partner and coach.
• What was your first car and what do you drive now?
• This one made me laugh. My first car ….. was a RZ350 rocket that I dropped twice, blew 2 engines and almost died on many times. My favorite ‘student’ car was one of the 2 Hyundai Ponys that I owned. That was one sweet car and the best thing? If the engine broke down I could raid my dad’s lawnmower for parts.
• If you were shipwrecked, who would you like to have with you and why?
• My family, we would be Swiss Family Robinson … cool.
• If a grizzly bear and a silverback gorilla were fighting, who would win?
• The bear. Duh, he is Canadian.
• Your first job after university?
• Selling corrugated cardboard. Oh yes, triple wall cardboard boxes.

I won’t give away the rest. But it was a fun exercise.
