What makes Rose tick:

Favorite city: I’m a New Yorker — through and through — no matter how many beautiful cities I visit or live in, I’m always looking forward to coming back home.

Never leaves home without: Reading material. Wireless earbuds. Running gear.

Loves: My daughters. Long runs (especially when they’re finished). Whole Foods Quinoa Milk Chocolate Bar. Peaky Blinders (preferably with previously mentioned chocolate bar). Sleep.

Last favorite thing read: For pleasure, The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power by Deirdre Mask. Illuminating, educational, and has changed the way I look at something that seems so simple. For work, UK-based Courier Magazine. I can’t express how much I enjoy reading it from cover-to-cover. It’s a perfect blend of practicality and inspiration for entrepreneurs. (www.couriermedia.co)

Last favorite thing heard: My older daughter announcing the receipt of her first paycheck. My younger daughter outlining her need for me to buy tickets (for her) to another K-pop concert. Kalt by O3ohn.
