I think I don't know where it comes from. The fact that I feel like so many people are trying to do the same thing. You're just like, am I even good enough? Because there are so many other people that are amazing. And then you sort of just like shut down. Social media has leveled the playing field in a way that we can all become what we want. Every single friend that I have who is successful has created their own lane and has not gone any traditional route whatsoever. Unless you want to, it's like when you think about college, for example, man, so manyPeople are in so much debt when they didn't even have to go.
