What's your favorite accomplishment?
Presenting on Trend Hunter's Future Festival World Summit stage. Speaking to thousands of fascinating, creative, innovators.

What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Write it, then read it in someone elses shoes (sometimes literally) but, if you're not into it, no one else will be either.
