In this episode we sit with that contradiction: what it's like to be a "look at me, don't look at me" sign living in front of millions of people, and how he's learned to regulate it. We talk about resetting after SNL, filtering real criticism from noise, and a movie from 1997 that changed the way he reads about himself online. And then we talk about trust: what it means to earn it, lose it, and get it back. I bring in Rachel Botsman and Charles Feltman's frameworks, and somewhere in the middle of it all we end up talking about Beyoncé's Uncle Johnny, which neither of us saw coming.Follow along on ⁠Patreon⁠ and ⁠YouTube⁠ so you don't miss what's next.This is What Time Were You Born?.
