What do you love about your job?

Experiencing money-can't-buy moments, travelling to interesting places, meeting interesting people, telling inspiring stories. Also, I don't have to iron any shirts or wear a suit.

What career advice would you give to your younger self?

Always look to have fun, life is too short. Be a good person and prioritise relationships with friends and family. And don't be scared to take a risk. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." (Wayne Gretzky)
