Do you feel like the industry ever really forgives mistakes? I messed up on a project a couple of years ago—nothing catastrophic, but enough to knock my confidence—and even now, I feel like it’s the thing I’m remembered for. We talk a lot about resilience, but not so much about how hard it is to rebuild your reputation once it takes a hit. How do you move past a professional misstep and earn trust back?

Totally hear you! It can feel like one mistake overshadows everything else. I think rebuilding trust takes time and consistency, but it is possible. Showing growth, owning the misstep, and continuing to deliver solid work helps shift the narrative, even if slowly. You're definitely not alone in that feeling.

Anyone here downshift in life post service?

Feel like I've been going full bore for the past decade and literally have no problem continuing the trend. Like I could just keep marking milestones and grinding or whatever until I die.

Wondering when if anyone else felt similar and decided to pull back and do something more relaxing. What was the catalyst, what are you doing, and are you enjoying it?

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.
