20 questions with Thomas Girard

[Interview] In Episode 3, Canadian scholar and author Thomas Girard and I discussed whether typography could save lives. This episode was recorded in Vancouver, Canada at Thomas's studio where I asked him the same 20 questions that he asked me on his podcast show Uniqueways with Thomas Girard. Tell me a little bit more about yourself, what do you do? What’s a key piece of knowledge that makes you different? Why this? Of all things? Why do you do what you do? What does your future look like? Let's talk about location. How does the notion of “place” play into what you do? If you had to start from scratch, what advice would you give your former self? What’s your day in the life like? Lifelong learning is a popular topic these days. How do you stay up to date? What tools do you use? Are you a digital nomad? How do you deal with work/life balance? If you weren’t doing what you do now, what would you be doing? What would you not like to do? What’s your favorite word, quote, or sentence? What’s your least favorite word, quote, or sentence? If you had to pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be? What keeps you up at night? What’s a dream you’re chasing. What inspires you? Any advice you’d like to share? How can our listeners keep tabs on you?
