WITI Women | Aliza Sherman

On a lighter note:

1. If you could have dinner with any 2 people (living or not), who would they be?
Ayn Rand and Michael Vartan.
Ayn Rand because her books The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged changed my life. And Michael Vartan because he's a good actor and really cute and I bet he wouldn't be as frivolous a choice as he sounds right now as I write this - I bet he'd be an interesting person. Okay, maybe the brothers who wrote and directed The Matrix. I'm a huge science fiction fan and their vision really blew me away.

2. If you could only subscribe to 3 magazines, what would they be?
Biography, Fast Company and The Sun (a little magazine based in Chapel Hill, NC that is about life in a raw, poetic and passionate way).

3. What was the last book you read?
A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing

4. If you couldn't do what you are doing now, what profession would you choose?
I'd be a screenwriter in Hollywood, bucking the system and creating tons of stories with strong female protagonists that go on to become really successful movies.

5. Define success in 10 words or less.
Belief, love and respect of self, others and this earth.
