I got you, Az — I do. And thank you for taking the time to listen not once, but twice.

However, I’d ask that we try to hold a little space for the fact that what we caught on that livestream was raw, unfiltered humanity.

Steve was clearly emotional & while some of his phrasing may not have landed well, he owned it in real time. He clarified what he meant, acknowledged that he could’ve said it better & didn’t shy away from sitting in the discomfort of it all.

We’ve all had moments where frustration spills over and words come out messier than intended — especially when we care deeply.
