What’s your best habit, and what’s your worst?
I’ve heard some people say my laugh is infectious, so I guess that’s a nice habit to have. My worst [is that] it’s difficult for me to stop and smell the roses.
What do you do when you’re creatively stuck?
I try to physically change my energy. If I can, I’ll go for a walk, or if I have more time, I’ll bike. That clears my mind and allows me to think more freely.
Did you have a career fork in the road?
When I decided to [let my hair] go natural, I stepped into my authentic self. I approached my career with a sharper focus, purpose, and intention. Ultimately, I believe that decision led me to this role, as the CEO of Sundial Brands.
What advice would you give your younger self?
You’re doing great, kid!
