#73 From Captive to Captain to CEO - Daniella Young, Cultural Forte

A third generation of a cult, The Children of God, one of the "crazier" cults, Daniella Young has an unusual background to say the least. No regular education, raised in a commune, mother fifteen when Daniella was born, she is now quite at ease looking back and discussing her upbringing. And there was good from it, such as her Mother teaching her to read and telling her the only thing important in society is learning to read, because after that you can teach yourself anything. She broke at fifteen years old, spent time dealing with the outside world and then in 2009, with a bad economy, the military and the officer program looked enticing. Even though she hated the first three years, she did love being a "bad ass" and being able to beat the boys in many physical tests. Now author, entrepreneur and Ted Talk speaker, she has taken the incredible experience she has and taken it to a company to make them better.
