Hippo is here to tell you to take up space, you big bad-ass you. Bring that big boss energy, but do so with tact.

He’s basically the most dangerous kid on the African savanna, with an unimaginable bite pressure. Although he’s larger than life, he’s also somewhat unassuming, since most of the time you’ll just find him chillin’ underwater.

The water is the realm of emotional intelligence. Hippo urges you to ask yourself this one question: does your emotional life give you the power to intelligently interface with the world? OR do you allow your emotions to rule you, creating chaos everywhere you go? You tell me… we’ll wait. Hippo is frequently found underwater for so long he even sleeps submerged as a semi-aquatic animal – SO very chill.
