walked in and somebody was like, what instrument do you play?

And Rory's like, I play piano.

And he's like, so how good are you?

And Rory's like, oh, I don't know.

I'm okay.

And this guy was just like, if you're okay, then why are you here?

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, it's kind of.

That episode was pretty good.

I absorbed it for a year.

But it's like, I think our way of oversharing or showing vulnerability is through self-deprecation.

It's not as frank.

How about at work?

Because my sense about oversharing in the workplace is that, and I feel like I've learnt the hard way by oversharing, and we have a weird workplace where you sort of do overshare publicly in the space that you work.

And I feel like as a leader, when I was editor-in-chief here,

I was very, I guess, vulnerable, overshary about my weaknesses.

Like I would be very self-deprecating about, like I guess it's kind of weird to be running a content team and then doing content where you're joking about being lazy and then kind of running a content team and also being really transparent about the fact that you're bad at confrontation and you're bad at being assertive.

Yes.

Because you're not lazy.

I wondered if people felt like they had more licence to say things.
