Short presenter monologue urging creators to be authentic, show up, and accept vulnerability. The speaker emphasizes being oneself, mustering courage to start, and intentionally exposing oneself to rejection (rejection therapy) to build resilience.
I don't want to do the fake thing. I just can't do the fake thing. It's just I'm allergic to the fake thing. I gotta be myself and I gotta be real. And I think that's the key is, like, showing up and actually letting people see you and letting people know you. You just need enough courage to start and to just, like, kind of go for it initially and put yourself out there and allow yourself to sort of expect rejection. And, in fact, if you could put yourself through some kind of rejection therapy, that would be ideal, okay?
