I was like ripped.

I got a six pack and I was training with a national squad.

And, you know, I got pretty decent.

And it was it wasn't I was aiming to do that.

It was just an outlet for this anger.

And then I looked back at it and realized, hey, I've managed to turn this negative thing into something really productive.

And I've tried to, whenever I have those kind of feelings, I always try to twist them in the same way.

I remember when I first arrived at Harvard, I had the same thing.

I arrived at Harvard and all the names in the corridors were famous professors.

And I was just freaking out.

I was like, fuck, I've

I'm going to have coffee with this guy, these legends.

How am I going to handle a conversation with these dudes?

And I remember I was kind of like a bit of an outcast because I wasn't in anyone's group at the time.

And I remember walking down the corridor and hearing them laugh at me.
