When we meet him, he's really struggling with these questions of who he was, what he was supposed to do with his life. He was in the shadow of his grandfather's fame and even his father's success as an artist. And that shadow was really hanging over him.

And this really led him down this slippery slope of perfectionism, eventually becoming a workaholic. And it was a life that drove wedges between him and the people that he really cared about.

What did those things mean for him? And so he really had to start by becoming aware of some of the questions that were running his life and driving his anxiety.

And from that point, he realized he would need to start asking new questions because those other questions had been like fueling that workaholism. So he started to ask, what is this fear?
