It's like, I never, like I made a, like that taught me that it's never worth it to quit. Like that's what drove into me. Like I'll never quit it. I might not make it. but I'm not quitting.

I think it's what gave me the perspective to be successful, 100%. Not just the physical ability to make it through buds, but also the mental ability to make it. And to be clear, I never...
