Gavin Newsom

Supervisor, mayor, lieutenant governor, governor.

And I made a lot of mistakes and paid a lot of personal and professional price for it.

And I try to put it all out there in this memoir.

Yeah, no, I love that, man.

Look, it's about empathy, care, and compassion.

Those are the superpowers.

You want to talk about strength.

It's defined in those terms.

It's not power, dominance, and aggression.

It's about moral authority, not formal authority.

You don't have to be something to do something.

Donald Trump's learning that.

The more he uses his formal authority, the less he has of it.

The more we, the people, people in Minneapolis use our moral authority, the more abundant it becomes.

And it's reflected in aspects of this book, you know, failing forward fast, learning from mistakes, try not to make them again, you know, the grace and humility, the human expression, the human experience, you know, and how we have privileges and challenges and how they shape us and how our parents, man, I mean, all the good and the bad.

You know, my mom said to me, it's in the book, where she said something that just broke me.

She said, it's okay to be average because I was struggling reading.

She was worried I was going to drop out of school.

And I was going into community college, 960.

Thank you for reminding me on my SAT.
