You know, the camera crew was like, yeah, that was fine.
So I could tell, like, I went back and this guy named Bill Hensel, who's such a doll, I said, how did it go?
He goes, well, Reese Schoenfeld, the president of CNN at the time, he called and said he never wanted to see you on the air again.
I was like, great.
What did you feel in that moment?
I felt obviously so deflated and defeated and wondered if I was doing the right thing, even pursuing this as a career, you know, full of self-doubt.
And then I kind of picked myself up and I thought, OK, that sucked.
And I looked around the room and I was like, these people are smart.
What do they have that I don't have?
Experience.
They've done this a lot more than I have.
And I thought there's no reason I'm, you know, baseline as smart as they are, that I couldn't, with some practice, become good at this.
And that's what I figured.
And that's when I decided I just have to keep doing it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think you have to take an honest look at yourself and say, okay, what did I do wrong?
What could I do better?
And how do I get from A to B, right?
Like, how do I get so that in another situation, so that might mean learning more, reading more, talking to more people, figuring out what you missed and how you can make up for that.
So I think it can be a setback, but it doesn't have to be permanent.
