i love how many questions benny asked you too, he genuinely seems very interested in connecting with you and getting to know you more
-
why is benny the best & most relatable person jay has interviewed of all time.
-
I find it so rare for men to actually ask lots of questions! Benny seems totally interested and listening intently!
-
I learned that you should not care about failure but use it as a stepping stone. That's a very powerful thing to do.
-
OK, I see it Selena, his soul is so beautiful too.
-
The interaction and getting to know the interviewer is something that show how amazing Benny Blanco is. Not a selfcenter. Always caring about other. How can not love him?
-
Selena is lucky to have him, great interview!

Now i know why selena choosed him to be her boyfriend
-
I like the way he talks, OMG I love his mentality.
-
Love how Benny asked Jay questions too! 😅 he literally got invited knowing nothing about Jay! Love that
-
This is one of my favorite conversations Jay had this year. I never knew who Benny was before this beside him working with SZA but I love his energy and his genuine interest in Jay as well. He seems like the kind of person that could get anyone to open up during a convo.
-
I loved learning more about Benny. I feel like theres so little we know about celebrities and we just assume they're 1 way or another... love his take on failure. Its no big deal...just do it again, find a new way to go about it, or try something new. We all need to try this thought process!

My best friend died this time last year. I am 42, she was 77. We met when I was 19. I miss her so so much and at the same time I feel blessed for having her in my life. One thing she told me many years ago, your best friend is the one you might not see for a year but when finally meet is like you just talked yesterday ❤
