You can't judge a book by its cover.
In my last job I did a lot of travelling for work. I usually flew wearing a suit, as I needed to head right to the office when I arrived at my destination. I was on a shuttle bus from off site parking heading to Newark Airport one morning. I noticed one of the kids (they were probably about 20, and I was 40 at the time) on the shuttle had on Vibram Five Finger Shoes, I asked him how comfortable they were, and we started talking. I said that I knew Vibram because I am an avid disc Golfer. He seemed taken aback when I told him this, and asked if I was really into Disc golf. I opened up my suitcase and showed him that packed in with my clothes I had 10 discs! I always travelled with discs so
I could get in some golf after work. He and his friends thought it was so cool that "A Businessman" had golf discs in his suitcase. It felt pretty good to change a group of kid's perspective.
