Like him or not, this one is worth a watch...

I'm growing quite fond of the WM videos. Great job you two. Enjoy the energy. ✌️

Helluva interesting interview. I've felt with Sterling (the OG) a few times and found him nothing short of gentlemanly and interesting. Have no recollection of interfacing with SJ, but have to admit that the negative sentiments here have – stupidly – skewed my perception of the individual and the store. 

The interview gives me a fresh perspective, thank you for that. We structured, good questions and considered responses. Thumbs up.

I really appreciated SJ's perspective on supporting local, for all the right reasons, but could not help myself chuckling at the disaster that my nearest bicycle store/mechanic. So, er, in principle I agree with SJ on that point, but it appears exceptions exist and services and parts/kit purchases require a lengthy drive or the internet (via an SA bike shop, which, SJ will be pleased to hear, frequently involves a Specialized store). And one hundred points, along with huge respect, for employing and advancing a human with humble beginnings.
