20 Under 40: David Littlejohn

David Littlejohn, 37

Co-founder/chief creative director, Humanaut

Who's your favorite "Game of Thrones" character? Arya Stark. She understands that with enough practice, determination and training, you can master anything and beat any odds.

Which GOT character do you think you would be? Jon Snow. I regularly have to convince people to do things that sound completely crazy. And I stubbornly believe the work we do can make a positive impact on the world.

Who would you have put on the Iron Throne? I liked Samwell Tarly's democracy idea.

Last book you read and/or show you binge-watched? "The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups."

If you ruled the world (or Chattanooga), what would you change? I would work to change the minimum wage to a living wage. I would make companies responsible for cleaning up the trash they create. And I would teach code and meditation in every school.

Who would be on your advisory council? Elon, Gates, Michelle, Harris, Lady Gaga and my wife.

Is ruler a position you'd even want? No. Being a dad keeps me busy enough. And I'm too impatient.

What drives you professionally and/or personally? Curiosity. I love exploring the unknown and finding ways of making the boring interesting.

What's one thing you'd really like to accomplish? Has that goal changed over the years? I have a ridiculously ambitious goal for 100% of Humanaut's revenue to come from selling our own products and creating our own content.
