Andrew Rohm explains how he's reinvented himself every ten years and hopes inspire others to create change in their lives.  Andrew Rohm is from Detroit, Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan for his undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst for a PhD in marketing. He is a professor at Loyola Marymount University and has three role models whom he calls "the Three Toms." Tom 1 (Tom Raynor) helped him get his foot (pun intended) in the door of the athletic footwear industry; Tom 2 (Tom Carmody) helped him learn the ins and outs of the marketing industry; and Tom 3 (Tom Boyd) was his inspiration for getting my PhD and becoming a teacher. His favorite author is Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. The novels blend the everyday (like a 2 AM visit to a Denny's in Tokyo) with the weird, fantastical and supernatural. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
