Steven Jack Butala:
Because he's qualified to do that.
Jill K DeWit:
What, what, it's just hilarious that you should work at jobs that you enjoy and that leaving a miserable career is really good for one's mental health. And this is an interview he's doing with Fast Company magazine. So this is all high level stuff. But I'm like, wonder if I was the one doing the interview. I'd be like, are you kidding me?
