And if you don’t commit fully, he will crawl back up and whisper in your ear, “You’re not good enough for this.”

“You have to choose to be offended. That was something I had told myself many times. In today’s world, it might be: Think a second time before you push send. I settled on: File it away, keep laying bricks, make the show better, do good work.”
