My first question for you is what is your earliest memory of rejection?

First of all, I just have to tell you, I love the premise of this show and I just want to thank you for it.

Just all you're doing for people to give them hope, to make people feel seen, to maybe change how we compare ourselves to other people.

So just thank you for that.

I think it's a huge service.

You know, the first rejection I remember came from me.

and the most painful, I would say.

regret it? doing it getting rejected or going successful well yeah do it get rejected would you regret that more versus not doing it a lot of the time it's the not doing it that we regret more not the doing it and getting rejected because at least we know that it wasn't going to work out if that happened um As you started taking these risks, posting on LinkedIn, going viral, pitching book publishers, did your risk-taking muscles get stronger? Were you able to take more risks?
