Nails and Bugs

​You need people to beat up. It’s necessary to be the lowest on the food chain and you may be that person for a long time, but eventually you need people to beat up. You’ll probably quit if you never find a crash test dummy. I was the guy people beat up for quite a while and then I found people that I could beat up, and my confidence grew. Off and on I’d be the guy that someone could beat up and that’s just life. You’re never going to be the best guy in the room, and I may be the best guy in our room, but I’ve been in plenty of rooms where I’m not that guy and still won’t be if I go back to those rooms. It’s good for your confidence to not always get piled on, but you earn that, it’s not given.
