The speaker argues that revealing your flaws in this environment creates connection through shared struggle. By modeling vulnerability yourself, you give others permission to do the same, building a community where healing becomes possible.
How many of you guys have shown more flaws inside this program and shared more flaws inside this program than any other place in your entire life? And here's the irony of it. You were probably more accepted than you've ever been in your life. And if you think about that, it gives us like, what does Joe always say? Commonality. It gives us connection. It gives us the ability to say, hey, I'm going through this and there's nothing new under the sun. Someone else is going through this too, and they need someone else to share that with them, to give them what? Let me hear it. How many says to give them what? Permission. Permission. How many of you guys want to be the person that gives somebody else permission? I want to be that guy. Let me give you permission. And so if it requires me to have to open up about my stuff to give you permission to liberate you from what's going on with you, then I will do it. Then I will do it.
