Dan Brown

“His dad would put a treasure map. And so he would wake up and every kid goes and they just unpack the gift. His gift was, here's a map. Go find it... if you look at The Da Vinci Code, what is it? It's a treasure hunt story. And he just tells it better than anyone else on earth.”

“Dan would have to follow the treasure map for a trail of clues all over the house and sometimes all over the neighborhood until he finally found the present. This sparked a deep love of solving puzzles, cracking codes, and hunting treasures.”
