Q. When you were a child, were you in leadership roles or doing entrepreneurial things?
A. I was captain of the swim team in high school and I swam at Stanford. That was really my entrepreneurial endeavor. I was very competitive. And swimming really helped me learn how to perform under pressure, how to just work hard and get the job done.
