When I was born, the economy wasn't in a great state; it was the Depression, and my father had to be quick to try and find work.
Disruption is in my genes. My father owned one of the first discount toy stores, Duane's Toyland, in Albany and Schenectady, near where I grew up. Discount was always a huge disruptor - it disrupted Sears Roebuck.
I come from a dysfunctional family, so my views of parents and parenting used to be highly mixed.
I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
My family was a good family, I had a great Canadian education and I came up in a great, little town like Ottawa.
I had a number of very strong personalities in my family. My father was a concert flutist, the solo flute for Toscanini.
My mother was adorable, a great giggler. My father was very strong and could be quite frightening.
My father was the first to read in his family, and he said to me that words were the first beautiful thing he ever knew.
Over the year,s the government launched more than one 'war on corruption,' and they all failed. Why? Because they all started from the bottom up.
