Have you ever used a typewriter?
I have indeed used a typewriter, alas, as that shows off my age in a non-positive way (tho perhaps age and wisdom go together somewhat, so I’ll accept it!). The best was watching my kiddo try to use one, having grown up with smartphones. Though that was not as good as watching her try to use a rotary phone – and intelligently putting her finger in the zero and moving it up to the number she needed, rather than the other way round. Interesting how everyday activities I learned without thinking are not obvious to the next generation.
Who do you wish followed you?
Everybody! I have so much to say and it is not targeted at specific individuals or types of viewers. I have learned so much in a life that has taken me to over a hundred countries, multiple executive positions, two-time CEO and many more as President, and all over the US. It is so important to me to share that learning to help others be successful and entertain them through stories from my life – and also give them a laugh or two.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I am most proud of the book series I have written that teaches mathematics to children with each story teaching one item of Grade One and Grade Two syllabuses (twenty four books in all). These are like Magic Tree House but teaching math – through the story of two children who find a goblin living in the shed at the bottom of their garden.
