Writer, producer, role model and game changer are only a few of the many descriptors for Shonda Rhimes. In one word, overachiever summarizes this powerful Hollywood figure, and millions across the country are inspired by her passion, drive and energy. Shonda has helped change the entertainment landscape; she’s said yes to opportunity and she’s built a media empire through her own achievement, one twisty plot at a time.
Everyday overachievers, like Shonda, not only excel in their professional lives; they excel in personal passions as well, constantly striving to make the most out of every opportunity presented. Overachievers surround themselves with the right people and tools to help them accomplish their goals. Pilot Corporation of America (Pilot Pen) has a vital tool that keeps up with the fast paced nature of an overachiever’s daily life – the Pilot G2, the ultimate pen for the everyday overachiever. The G2’s proven longest lasting, smooth writing capabilities make it the perfect tool to overachieve, whether it’s editing a TV script like Shonda or jotting down a new business idea. Pilot’s G2 is America’s number one selling gel ink brand, available in four point sizes and 14 colors. With so much variety and customization, any go-getter can find the perfect G2 to suit their unique style.
