Q1. "Well, let me tell you, my journey in academia was a bit different than most. But I'll tell you, the key areas of expertise I developed were in communication and leadership. Those skills came from my time as an actor and as Governor of California. And let me tell you, those skills have certainly informed my political career and my current research interests. It's all about being able to communicate effectively and lead with conviction, and that's something I strive to do every day."

Q2. As an actor and politician, I believe that the most pressing problem in our field is the need for effective communication. Whether it's communicating with constituents or delivering a speech, being able to express oneself clearly and persuasively is crucial. My expertise in public speaking and diplomacy has allowed me to make a meaningful contribution to this challenge, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.
