I don't even trust myself in my career much less giving somebody else advice.
You wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that's all I've ever done.
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt, you don't ever come across as offensive. Nobody sees you as a threat. You see someone in a Hawaiian shirt, and you are like 'this guy is ready to party. '
