00:00You're the VIP, right?
00:02You're the VIP, so enjoy this.
00:06What they need, that also leads into that stigma stuff,
00:09that leads into the multi-generational things.
00:11So now for all of you to try to navigate that without the tools,
00:14where it is so rampant, is...
00:17Every day for 10 years, I've been bullied and attacked,
00:20and I was the most trolled person in the entire world.
00:23Man, no longer. I'm still here.
00:26And so when I think of all of you and what you're experiencing,
00:29I think so much of that is having to realize that, you know,
00:33that industry, that billion-dollar industry,
00:36that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks,
00:41that's not going to change.

01:30And that's my wish for all of you as well.
01:32And you can do it, you can do it together.
01:33I'm not going to say it's easy.
01:35I will personally tell you it's not easy.
01:38But you can do it.
01:39And my wish for all of you is to just continue.
01:42Megan, you're going to come with me this side to this group of people?
01:45And how do you go with Erin over there?
01:48They're very spaced out.
