Responding to questions, Swanson discusses the development of her ideas and the freedom that comes from creating. In the second presentation, Swanson discusses growing up as one of six children. Her daughter, Jackie, discusses "Take Your Daughter to Work" Day. Swanson shows advertisements and encourages discussion.
