  • 0:03 - 0:07
    I'm inspired by a lot of people that are go-getters,
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    so people that kind of make things happen inspire me.
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    They're everyday people,
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    to be totally honest with you.
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    Ah, I'm inspired,
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    one of my mentors is the owner of Time Out magazine.
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    And he inspires me because he did,
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    he set it up himself when he was,
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    ah, he got a grant from his grandmother
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    of like 500 pounds,
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    and thirty years later
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    he's still a well-known, global brand.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    So, people like that inspire me,
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    people that make things happen.
