"My biggest paradigm shifts occurred outside the thinking sessions, perhaps because I live so much inside my head: conquering Hibeo mountain, and Fuente De's scree, I learned mind-blowing things about confidence, but highlights remain the epiphanies in my jacuzzi each night, and dining in a stone-walled farm surrounded by dusty bottles of Rioja." Creative Director, retail company, 35.
