He's a great representative of the company and I'm learning a lot from him, not only on TV but outside as well. ~ Alex Riley

It's a sign of respect and connection to learn the name of someone else, a sign of disrespect to ignore it. And yet, the average American can name over a hundred corporate logos and ten plants.
