Who are three women- living or dead - that you would like to have drinks with and why?
Beryl Markham - She was a Kenyan bush pilot and among other accomplishments was the first woman to cross the Atlantic east-west in solo flight. A conversation with her would be inspiring: she was a fearless adventurer who lived life to the fullest. Gertrude Stein — literary innovator and collector of modern art. Her circle included Hemingway, Picasso, Matisse and Fitzgerald. She would have great stories to tell. 3. Condolezza Rice — Even better than drinks would be taking her international relations seminar at Stanford.
What was your first job and what did you learn from it?
My first job was as a babysitter, and I learned an important lesson. Always negotiate my fee up front.
