Perry has a lot of good takes. I don't know if it's because he's just wiser, or if it's just his nature as an extrovert, but I suspect both. His opinions are ones that I see introverts often ignoring. His response to "Is next year going to be better?" is a good example.
Mitch's fire is something he should be proud of. He comes off as arrogant, but that's something he seems to be aware of. Drive is something that a lot of people, not just artists, don't have. He has it in spades, and he shouldn't be ashamed to lay those cards on the table, even if people get upset that he outclasses them. Wish him luck for me.
As for the video, I appreciate you bringing this interview of sorts to a wider audience. Getting opinions from "the little guys" rather than big names is always underappreciated. Keep up the good work yourself, Dave.
