 » Executive Summary: Tom Hood, CPA, CITP, CGMA

#### My three goals for 2014

1. Write my first book
2. Transform our association business model for the “transient advantage economy”
3. Help our members learn fast enough to stay ahead of rapid change

#### My media mix

**Music:** Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Imagine Dragons, Avicii, Gavin DeGraw

**Movies:** “American Hustle,” “Fargo”

**Podcast:** CPA Success (what else?)

**Magazines:** Wired, Fast Company, HBR

#### What I do when I’m not at work

Volunteer at my wife’s school garden, hang out with family, read books, drink wine!

#### If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

… be a rock star, or some form of inspirational author/artist.

#### Who I’m following on Twitter

Seven thousand friends, but really Twitter is my source to keep up with a rapidly changing world. Following [@rgmcgrath (opens in a new tab)](http://twitter.com/rgmcgrath)
, [@tom_peters (opens in a new tab)](http://twitter.com/tom_peters)
, [@danielburrus (opens in a new tab)](http://twitter.com/danielburrus)

#### On my desk right now

iPad Mini, two books (Flash Foresight by Daniel Burrus, The End of Competitive Advantage by Rita McGrath), MacBook Pro, ScanSnap scanner, iPhone 5

#### The best advice I ever got

If it was easy, everybody would do it.
