Hey podcast. Joe from Team Gary here. Today's episode is a mashup of Gary's thoughts and opinions on how to deal with hate and how to deal with feelings of failure. Enjoy.

I'm so grateful that I don't give a crap what anybody thinks of me while equally caring. It's incredibly important to me what Indy or D. Rocker Stefan think of me. It's incredibly important.

It's stunning though how anti-establishment or how much I would push back when they would try to impose their will on me. And that's a very important differentiation.

Actually, that's one of the first times I've ever kind of articulated this way and I like this. There's a very big difference between one thinks of you and what one tries to do by imposing their way on you.

I'm very open, empathetic and quite self-aware of what everybody thinks of me and pander to it, react to it and adjust to it.

But for somebody to try to impose their way on me without knowing me is just super not interesting.

And so, you know, I was able to navigate through junior high in high school and really not struggle with peer pressure. I just very honestly thought I was better than everybody.

I didn't act that way. If you go find all the kids that want to high school with me, I don't think any of them say that I walked around with like I was cooler than them.

You know, that would have been very hard as a four foot 11 freshman that was being made fun of for not being five foot.

It's just how I thought inside and I think there's a lot of intestinal fortitude to use a gorilla monsoon term.

That's when wrestlers would get beat up at the night with the fight like the Hulkster and Macho Man in Ultimate Warrior.

That was the whole kind of genre of the 80s get beat the crap out of it and then all of a sudden.

And so that's kind of how I am like I can take a lot and then all of a sudden like you know fight back.

And so, you know, there's nothing I can say other than when you're 51 or when you're 91 you're going to be stunned how little you care, how little it mattered.

And this includes your parents and your siblings and even your children. This is an intense thing. This is a very intense thing.

But if I could wish anything besides health on people there's a lot. I say this saying a lot. There's a lot of traits I like.

But man, there's unbelievable happiness that comes along with self belief and recognizing how this plays out.
