You know some people look at you in a T-shirt and go, Yeah, you’re comfortable with yourself. Some people look at you in a T-shirt and go, You’re supposed to be an influencer, put a suit on. what are you doing? Have a shave. You see what I mean? And you know, some people are like, Oh, you’re interviewing Rob. Yeah, Rob’s work is good. You’re interviewing Rob, what are you interviewing Rob for?
