#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

So I kind of share my thoughts and listen, I can edit that thing and keep out the bad stuff, but I think it's more authentic and genuine to show people the actual struggles and the pain that I go through, you know, without it.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

And I'd say the one thing I'm most proud of throughout the entire thing is the resilience because there are moments you see me where I'm broken.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

And you start to wonder, you're like, I can't win if I never win, you know, in these spots.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

So it was difficult.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

Luckily I have, you know, 20 odd years of experience and how to deal with it.
