tackled by all these emotions all the time.

And you're constantly sort of questioning yourself and wondering if you are in the right job or who's going to figure out that they shouldn't have hired you in the first place or whatever.

And I wrote this article after called Giveaway Your Legos.

And I meant it just for like people going through rapid scale.

Like I meant it for the people that were going through an experience like what Facebook had gone through.

But really what Giveaway Your Legos talked about was the emotional experience of scale.

And I

I got emails from all over the world.

Like I got all these emails from people that you wouldn't predict would have resonated with the article, you know?

It taught me that not enough people talk about the emotional side of work and that so many people are experiencing the emotional human reaction to change.

And I think that's even more true today because there's so much going on in the workplace.

And there's just not enough people out there saying, hey, this shit is hard and it's emotional.

And yes, you're a professional.

And yes, you can be buttoned up and polished, but you will be a better person.

So I've been thinking a lot about this lately, because I just did an interview with a woman who she says she's a scaredy cat.

And she's taught herself to be good at risk by taking daily risks.

She literally created a journal and challenged herself to take one risk every single day.

And she was talking about the fact that she pushed herself to do it.

So like she learned this set of feelings and triggers where if something was uncomfortable and something was sort of making her almost like want to run away, that she was like, that's the sign that I have to do it.
