you hear that definition and look back at the beginning of your career, what were you ambitious for and where do you think those ambitions came from?

And it's, am I good enough? And what I mean by that is it not like, some people might be connected to like, am I good enough as in my identity and my value in this world? But am I successful enough to know that I'm good at this craft? Because you've been learning it and you haven't had the opportunity to wrestle with the craft and then have often public applause or external validation of that to say, okay, you're good enough.

You're good at this thing.
8:01
You can do it.
