We stand side by side where, you know, we're shoulder to shoulder and I get to speak to you terribly.

I get to be horrible towards you.

I get to tear you down because we're teammates and we stand beside each other.

And I'm doing this because I love you and I want you to be, you know, I want you to perform.

I want us all to, I want us all to perform well.

So when you fail me,

When you fail, you know, your performance, you fail all of us.

You fail every team.

So we hold each other to account, but we do that through very harsh words, through very lethal, aggressive terminology.

That sounds really tough, a culture where essentially the lines between abusive behavior and intimacy are kind of blurred.

And here's you in your late teens, in your early 20s, navigating that.

How do you tell yourself to keep going?

Once again, in those environments, to quit is a weakness.

To be vulnerable, to be permeable is a weakness.

You have to be impenetrable.

If you're not the fastest, strongest, toughest, most resilient, you fail.

You're left behind.

You need to be the strongest, the toughest person there, the most aggressive, the most loud, the one who wins, the one who beats everybody else.

That's the environment you're in.

And I have large issues with that.
