What's your favorite social network?

Instagram. No question.

Why did you become a journalist?

It has been an evolution of what I do. My aim is to help people start their own business and be their own boss - it's another way!

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No I didn't, but as a youngster I used to write for football fanzines (not many people know that)!
