Yes.
I needed to be somewhere else.
And I needed that... I've never been fired.
I've never been fired.
I've never been fired.
But I should have been.
You should have been.
I should have been.
There were a few jobs where I clearly... One job I tried to come in and give it my all.
And as soon as they shut down my ideas, I was like, y'all don't deserve me.
And I did the quiet quitting thing.
And did the bare minimum.
I should have been fired.
But I needed...
to be out of certain jobs, to be who I am and where I am today.
I mean, I trust myself a lot.
And now, I didn't enough early on.
Those times when I forgot why I was here, why I was in the room, when I second-guessed it, I wasted a lot of time.
And yeah, I had to go through those things to ultimately gain the confidence to...
to feel like I belong in these rooms.
