 » Executive Summary: Will McCauley, DVM, MBA

#### On My Desk Right Now

The Economist, drafts of reports, business cards, pictures of my pets

#### My Three Goals for 2020

**1. Marry my fiancée,** Ashley.

**2. Increase the reach** of an alumni association I lead in the DC area.

**3. Improve my ability** to manage volunteers in various groups I’m a part of.

#### The Best Advice I Ever Got

There will always be someone out there smarter than you, faster than you, better-spoken than you—and you can’t control that. What you can control is how much effort you will give to outworking that person and proving you are more capable.

#### My Media Mix

**Podcasts:** The Adam Carolla Show, EconTalk

**Music:** Huey Lewis and the News, Jim Croce

**TV:** Bridezillas, my guilty pleasure

#### If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

… be a fighter pilot. We’ve all got a little Maverick in us.

#### What I Do When I’m Not at Work

Travel, take my pets (dog and pot-bellied pig) on walks in the park, enjoy the great restaurants DC has to offer
