Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
Both Arthur and Kevin say their fathers taught them the most about work.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, there have been times when we both wanted to give up—whether due to financial struggles, personal challenges, lack of viewership, or other obstacles that tested the grit it takes to keep going.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, we’re 100% real and authentic—on the air and off.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. We both agree that giving it everything—even when it gets tough—is the right thing to do. It’s all about consistency.
