Welcome back to Hot Seat. 💗😍
We're excited to have Parker Abbott from Engaging The Enemy on the blog today taking the hot seat. Make yourselves comfortable for this exciting interview.
Welcome to our blog, Parker. What do you consider
your greatest achievement?
Every year since I’ve become
the Chief Financial Officer at my family’s world-renowned distillery, our
profits have increased. But my greatest achievement is yet to come, because I’m
determined to become the next CEO of King’s Finest Distillery.
What is your most
treasured possession?
My prize possession is
my Octo Finissimo Bulgari watch with a clear dial which displays the mechanical
interior skeleton. Though it’s an insanely expensive piece, that’s not what I
value about it most. I picked it up at a seizure auction, so I got it for a
steal. It’s both beautiful and a great investment.
What is your most
marked characteristic?
I wear glasses
seventy-five percent of the time. Quite frankly, I’m a little miffed that I’m
not wearing my glasses on the book cover.
What is your greatest
regret?
My greatest regret is
inadvertently betraying my best friend’s confidence as a young teen and not
understanding how devastating my actions were to her.
What is the quality
you most like in a partner?
I’m a straightforward
kind of guy who isn’t the best at reading between the lines. So I value someone
who is sincere and unambiguous. Who says exactly
what they mean rather than hinting around. And who won’t be offended when I do
the same.
What is the trait you
most deplore in yourself?
I’m a no-nonsense kind
of guy, for which I don’t apologize. While I value that about myself, I realize
that my direct approach can sometimes rub people the wrong way. I regret that my
candor can give the impression that I’m an unfeeling a**hole. That couldn’t be
further from the truth. I feel things far more deeply than people believe.
What is the trait you
most deplore in others?
Dishonesty. It’s the reason it took some time
for me to warm up to my sister-in-law, Savannah Carlisle. She didn’t lie to us
when she came to work at King’s Finest, but she didn’t tell us the whole truth
either.
What do you most value
in your friends?
People who don’t take
my brusque, direct nature personally.
On what occasions do
you lie?
I try to always tell it
like it is, which is why I have the feeling that this fake engagement
experiment I let Kayleigh rope me into is going to end very badly.
Thank you so much to Parker and Reese Ryan for indulging us. We look forward to reading your story.
