Mine was legendary humorist and media figure Cactus Pryor. His father, Skinny Pryor, owned a movie theatre and entertained audiences with comedy routines during intermissions. Today, when I use nouns as verbs and place business terms out of context to make people think creatively, I’m thinking back to Cactus Pryor.

Keep adapting your plan over time as well. The times of having one job for a long time are long gone, so while it's good to have some plan and direction, it's good to be adaptable.
