Coffee or tea?

Coffee: skim cappuccino to be specific. LOVE the ones with fancy designs in the foam — see Exhibit A!

Best advice for life in your twenties in 5 words?

Live big, start small. Enjoy :)

Favorite quote:

“Action is the antidote to despair.” –Joan Baez

What makes you different?

Hmmm, tough question! I like to think we’re all more similar than we are different…but I do wear a zebra-print retainer to bed at night.

Favorite pink thing?

Red velvet cupcakes? Okay, fine, those are red. Pink velvet cupcakes!

If we were to buy you a present where should we look?

My Amazon.com wishlist — every time I get a book in the mail it’s like a little slice of Christmas!

Author: Jenny Blake

Jenny recently took her own great leap by leaving Google to move to New York City and pursue her passions full-time. She is focused on helping others “Wake up, live big! and love the journey” through coaching, speaking, and her latest project, Make Sh*t Happen — an 8-week course that takes people’s biggest goals from “impossible” ideas to inevitable success. She is the author of the book, Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want (Running Press, 2011) and blogs at LifeAfterCollege.org, where she provides simple, practical tips about life, work, money, happiness and personal growth. Jenny’s goal is to help people focus on the BIG picture of their lives…not just the details. Jenny loves dogs, dancing, football, yoga, gadgets, moleskines, and good music.
