<p id=”par-4_10″>Binkley said that Schwartz’s best advice is simple but valuable.</p>
<p id=”par-5_63″>“Just to stay true to myself,” he said. “Hell, when I’m talking, he says I give him better advice than he’s giving me. He’s done this for so long, so he just wants me to be myself. Like, don’t let anyone get in my ear. The more authentic you are, the less you have to worry about and the brighter you’ll shine. “</p>
