Even if I'm doing this podcast, we're in a boxed-off room on our own.

We don't know what the reaction is.

You hope that people are going to receive whatever you're saying or writing and it's going to impact them positively, but you don't entirely know.

So I think those little...

you know, one-on-one interactions of people stopping you in the street or even DMing you.

But I think when it is in person, you're like, oh my God, this is actually, people are reading this book or your books and it's doing something positive.

And then, you know, various bowls of rice and coloured water.

How embarrassing, but brilliant, because we need more positive content out there.

We just do.

We need stuff that is going to be truly helpful.

And your videos have helped me so much over the years, as have your books.

But it's a funny thing when your work starts to blow up like that.

And I remember, I mean, I can't think how long ago this was, but that first TED talk that Brené Brown put out,

about shame.

And then she put out a subsequent one, not that long after, talking about the reaction to the blow up of the first video and saying that she actually felt shame and kind of had to readdress the whole thing because it was so huge.

And when you've got numbers like you have watching your videos, reading your books,

There is sort of a level of, I guess, responsibility, but also just, I don't know, maybe overwhelm.

It's a lot.

It's a lot of people.

Have you experienced that?
