If there is one thing 2020 has taught us, it’s that everything can change in a second. Stevin McMillan, a once revered managing director of a local marketing firm, is today finding out this the hard way after running late for a video call and having to conduct the meeting in his active wear.

A sweaty and dishevelled Stevin sat down and apologised to his colleagues for his attire, but not even an apology could change the fact that his once intimidating and mysterious façade had been brought tumbling down around him.

Within a matter of seconds the office group chat was pinging out of control.

The Advocate managed to obtain the group chat transcript from Facebook, who says they respect privacy but clearly privacy has a price.

Tim: “Oh my god, can you see what he’s wearing?”

Chugga: “I didn’t know he exercised, I assumed he was just naturally in shape”

Suz: “He’s human after all”

Tara: “Also, I like how sweaty he is, it makes me feel better about my sweat.”

It’s believed that McMillan had been participating in a virtual PT session with his ex-army trainer when he realised he was running late.

Speaking with The Advocate after the call, McMillan reveals just how disappointed he is with himself for ruining the personal brand he has spent so many years building.

“Brand consistency is everything, it’s what I tell my people and clients every day”

“One video call, that’s all it takes. One stupid call.”

It’s not yet known how severe the flow on effects from his active wear will be, but Stevin was last seen kicking a dog toy around his Betoota Heights mansion as he contemplated his identity.

More to come.
