YOUR YOUNG SELF
Looking back at yourself as a child, what clues were there to your future success?
I think my family are a big clue as to how I would turn out. There was a great emphasis on staying curious and learning. I was raised by an interesting combination of entrepreneurship and education. I guess this is probably why now I find myself as both an entrepreneur and an eternal student.
What words would you use to describe your personality as a child? And now?
As a child I would say I was a book-worm, curious and enjoyed my own company. I always had my head stuck in a book, enjoyed learning and, as an only child, I was quite comfortable being on my own.
As an adult I would describe myself as child-like, optimisticlining in most situations, and driven because I am consumed by an unadulterated ambition to be and do better.
