Who would play you in the movie about your life? Ty Burrell in the full character of Phil Dunphy. "I'm the cool dad, that's my thang." What from your pre-pandemic life did you take for granted? The simple things: coaching kids sports, eating out, the IRS response time and a more peaceful world. If you gave a keynote graduation speech, what would your message be? Everyone has the same 24 hours in their day. It is what you do with it. Don't be afraid to fail. Tomorrow is another 24 hours to correct your mistakes. Matthew P.

Agostinelli launched his own podcast, Beers and Careers, which he hosts. - D.B. Favorite Central Mass. restaurant? One Eleven Chop House. The steaks are great, and I love the dirty martinis! After months of pandemic life, would you like to work from home more? I really avoided it at all costs before the pandemic, because I'm a creature of habit and enjoy the office. But, lunches with my family and eliminating any commute have been a bonus. I'm very excited to get back in the office, but could see myself spending a day or so per week from home moving forward.
