At the time, it was very difficult, but there is no faster training for hard work and work ethic than being thrown into it in that way.

So that was by far my biggest learning.

Exactly right.

And then every job after that, hard work didn't feel so hard because you had been through the ringer already.

The first thought was, oh, gosh, that's discouraging.

And then the second thought was, and I'm not surprised.

Because today, more than ever, we really struggle with our optics, which is where a lot of this topic comes from, about feeling awkward, feeling embarrassed.

And today, because a lot of us in the last five years got thrown into these hybrid workspaces, virtual workspaces, we may not see our colleagues anymore.

we tend to have this tendency to magnify or create a story around what it means to ask someone for help.

We're not talking to them as often.

So the muscle feels underdeveloped.

We are not clear on what they think our capabilities are, what we think their bandwidth is to help us.

So we tell ourself a whole story about what that represents.

And because of all these factors,

It's harder than ever to ask for help.

But amongst all of those, the biggest one is we're just not doing it as much and we've gotten out of practice.

Yes, I think that generational bit is so important.

And I always like to start here.

When it comes to generations, I think it's very easy.

So I'm almost 44.
