Transcript

So I get this message today from this. It's been out for like one transfer. And he's like, I'm struggling the the repetition. It's it's like been the hardest two weeks of my life. He said, or asked, when does it get easier? I said, do you want me to be honest? I said, it doesn't get easier. Doesn't. But that's the point. I said you shouldn't want it to because the man that you're going to become through this experience is going to be worth every single bit of struggle that you're going to go through times a thousand. And I genuinely mean that. What would you say?
