In this brief conversational excerpt, Henna Pryor (Speaker A) and a co‑host (Speaker B) discuss how progress in any skill often requires leaning into awkward, messy, and imperfect moments rather than waiting for a perfect state. They highlight that true growth comes from embracing discomfort. The dialogue then shifts to a shared acquaintance, Jake Thompson, whose mantra—"it's not me versus them, it's me versus me"—illustrates the principle of competing with oneself instead of external rivals. The exchange underscores a personal‑growth philosophy that values internal competition and the learning value of imperfection.

fact of, like, at times getting better at something is leaning in and it being awkward and it being messy and it being not the way it want it to be, but that's how we actually end up getting there.
Yeah, I think that there's two things that come to mind there. First of all, it's, you know, our shared friend Jake Thompson often uses this language of it's not me versus them, it's me versus me.
Yeah, right.
It has to be me versus me. And I am as human as the next person. I will occasionally look at some other speakers you know, speaker reel or some other author's book. And I'm like, dang, you know, like, I wish I did that. That's so good. I remember Jake, you know, bless him, he, when he got a copy of my book, he's like, oh, I wish mine, like, now I wish I did this, I did that. That's human. And I think it's actually healthy for us to have people, friends that we admire, certain things that they've done. It, it inspires us to push harder, to do better, to be more innovative, to, to compete, right? These are not bad things.
