You know, that great conversation we had about leaning into embarrassment.

In 2026, if you can lean into embarrassment, that will be a good thing.

His close relationship with his mum, her death and, you know, music became an escape for him.

He described it as a hug.

And I hope that you, in your life in 2026, you can find your hug for you.

And the last one about being bullied at school, feeling like an outsider, teacher picking on him.

Now that teacher picking on him, that was a kind of wild story.

But the fact of feeling like an outsider, I know so many people listening will relate to that.

Now I'd love to know what you guys think of the episode.
