It’s all about an element of surprise. You, Alec, have a serious, get shit done side to you that is a perfect compliment to your joke crackin’, self deprecating side. If you’re present, we're having a good time, but not at risk of putting out bad work. That type of pressure was always felt. And productive! I, myself, would push back on a “sweetness” persona by shocking others with a certain level of humor or candor. Now this has failed me as often as it helped, but I’ll always aim to find the right balance.

Can confirm! You are definitely sweet and thoughtful, and always ready to deliver an uppercut. Appreciate the kind words and as always, the frankness.
