Where did you grow up and what was your childhood like? Did you have any particular experiences/stories that shaped your adult life?
I grew up in the state of Iowa, in a beautiful old brick home. There was a huge yard with many flowers and trees and my father built a treehouse for me. I spent my days using my imagination, writing stories in my head. As I grew older, I closely followed pop culture, fashion, and music trends. I was already on the path to becoming a writer and futurist. Also, my brother is 15 years older, and at an early age, I realized the generational differences between us. My business, research, and books were all inspired by this realization and childhood experience.
