Blue-Collar Mentality
Alex
Hey guys, super quick story here. To set up the interview with Harbaugh, Ravi and I decided to go down to LA in person. Prior to this, over Christmas, I had got the guys, Shane and Ravi, these Glue Guys blue-collar shirts from my stories with Jim Harbaugh. We were debating on whether or not to wear them in person, if it seemed cheesy or corny.
Anyways, we decided to wear them and surprised Coach Harbaugh with them. The best part was, when Coach walked into the room, he had this really nice quarter-zip on, tucked in shirt, khakis. He immediately took a look at us in our blue-collar shirts and was like, 'Oh man, let me go get mine.' So he ran out of the room and came storming back in with his Chargers blue-collar shirt.
And the interview commenced. Obviously, it's a very tangible thing, this blue-collar shirt. But for me, when I became a professional, when I signed a professional contract, a lot of stuff changes. Expectations and mindset change. All of a sudden guys are wearing fancy suits.
