Do you miss anything about working on the Hill?
“D.C. can be a company town — sometimes I miss being at the heart of politics. I love being an entrepreneur, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to not have to pave my own way and take a well-trodden path [instead]. The wonderful thing about being an entrepreneur is that it’s flexible — every couple of weeks I like to go on a trip. I recently took a trip to South Africa for a safari. You can work from anywhere, but the downside is you are always working!”
