First thing you do every morning… 

Turn off my sleepy time rain sounds 

Reality show you would win… 

I have always liked to think I’d surprise myself playing Survivor 

Brand that inspires you and why… 

Ben & Jerry’s is holding it down. Activism as a brand identity is always something to be inspired by. But to me the most impressive part is that a major company still manages to feel like just two guys (and a massive team behind them) who care! 

Best concert or show you’ve been to… 

Dr. Dog
