Summary: You look terrible in that straw hat. Wear the du-rag, it definitely looks better.
More hat conversation? Why? Well, because frankly, you gotta choose a few and commit. That’s your problem, you never commit to anything. But we digress. We talk about choosing a few roles to hone in on and focus all your effort towards in order to actually improve your capabilities in that area. Sounds boring, but it’s actually incredibly titillating, we swear it.
