DANIELA PINHEIRO interview me

Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting Daniela, who is covering me for a project she's doing for Stanford. I am beside myself!

We had an instant connection and chemistry! This is a budding new friendship 😊. We had a wonderful talk about culture, art, journalism and life in Palo Alto.  I am so thrilled that she will be one of my guest speakers in one of my Salon Series! I want to thank Mike and Julie Wilcox for the introduction.
