Kara Swisher on speaking truth to power

Worklife with Adam Grant

NOTE

Authenticity Over Conformity

The speaker recalls feeling trapped in the closet, vowing never to conform again after coming out. They express disappointment for being restrained from joining the military due to being openly gay, first due to personal reasons and then due to 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy. Despite feeling they would make a great admiral, they recognize their talents may not have been well received and humorously suggest that they would have been one in the military. The speaker emphasizes the importance of authenticity over conforming to societal norms.
