Duane is a brilliant person. I’m fortunate enough to chat with him every day and to collaborate on projects. And he’s super nice to boot! Good one Tina.

Absolutely! I guess it’s good that I like people. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d make it in this industry.

If you don’t like coffee, can it be 2% hot chocolate or 2% coke?
