So why should your status in this walk of life transfer over?

It does all the time.

And so...

One is I don't deserve it.

So now I'm nervous and insecure because I'm in this position that I didn't earn.

And that creates a lot of expectations on me that I can't meet because I'm not going to stick the landing every single time.

So that's one response to having high status.

I have zero surprise hearing that because I think Hollywood is one of the areas where the cumulative advantage process is stronger than it is in other walks of life because that go back to that 20 actors lining up for the first casting call and one gets it and then boom, their career runs away.

Yeah.

And then they're always public facing.

So it's got to be heaps of criticism, no matter what you deal with, heaps of criticism.

So that's one.

A second one is what we kind of call privilege.

And one of my favorite quotes, and so it's normally attributed to Barry Switzer, the football coach.

I'm not positive that's the right attribution, but the quote goes, he was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

You remember that one?

Yeah, yeah.

And so that's like, I'm up on top of the pecking order.

I'm like the high status person.

Okay, so that's the second reaction.
