Quotes:
- "You can't really create like a connection. You can't have a deep human bond. You can't. You can't have someone feel like, hey, I understand you, I hear you, I support you, I want what's best for you. But I don't care about how you feel. Like you. It doesn't. It doesn't land that way." – Stephen Dummit
- "There's something really scary for people and and being exposed. Right. Because if you're going to grow and get better, you have to admit that there's a delta there, right? There's a gap between where you are and where you want to be." – Olivia Leigh
