When you have the opportunity to ask some of the most interesting people in the world about their lives, sometimes the most fascinating answers come from the simplest questions. The Thrive Questionnaire is an ongoing series that gives an intimate look inside the lives of some of the world’s most successful people.

PJ: Recreational time in the woods.
TG: Tell us about your relationship with your phone. Does it sleep with you?
PJ: I can’t stand the phone and try to stay away from it.
TG: How do you deal with email?

TG: You unexpectedly find 15 minutes in your day, what do you do with it?
PJ: Dream about the woods.
