Short questions with Dana Perino for Brian Brenberg

You've seen us on screen, but have you ever wondered what we're like off-camera? 

For the last few months, I've enjoyed checking in with some of your favorite Fox personalities to learn more about who they are behind the scenes. 

What's the one thing Jesse Watters couldn't live without? What's Bill Hemmer's favorite Halloween costume? And what's sitting on Greg Gutfeld's nightstand?

But that's not all! The fun is just getting started.

He joined FOX Business as a contributor in 2020 and provides financial commentary and analysis across the network's platforms. Throughout his tenure, he's appeared on a number of programs, including FBN's "Mornings with Maria" and "FOX Business Tonight," as well as FOX News Channel's "Outnumbered."

P.S. We have so much more in store for you. Stay tuned each week for new editions of "Short Questions with Dana Perino" - and if there's a question you want answers to or a suggestion for the person I should interview next, leave a note in the comments section below.

BB: My first job was at a video store, where I learned that "Be Kind, Rewind" are words to live by.

Not a professor of forklift driving, to be clear. I was very bad at that.

BB: Selling baseball cards at a roadside card table with Pete Hegseth. Ask him.

BB: I hated Monopoly with a passion. 

My dad would make us play with him so that he could bankrupt us one by one. Now I have kids and I love Monopoly.

Self-awareness is a professional superpower. And its absence is kryptonite.

BB: Heck, no. But I'd definitely want to know who put us in touch, because I'm pretty sure I don't have any friends with those kinds of connections.

BB: Learn how to budget so you can plan to save. 

Then take some of that and put it in a CD. Then take some of that and put it into a retirement savings vehicle. 

If you can nail all of that, you won't need my advice anymore.

BB: I'd make "Bad Day Soup." It's a Brenberg family staple. 

It's not impressive, but it is very red. And, technically, food.

BB: "Truman" by David McCullough. It's about 1,000 pages long, but you won't regret any of them.

Surround yourself with people who have healthy affections, and you increase your odds of making wise decisions.
