He walks us through the challenges of the pipeline, including doubt, tough physical workouts, and the mental battle of dealing with uncertainty and fear of failure. But what makes his journey truly remarkable is his message about taking small steps forward, staying persistent even when unsure, and the personal growth that comes with embracing those challenges head-on.
