Rather than letting the incident define him, Tony chose a different path—one of compassion and understanding.
He talks about receiving a hurtful message and instead of blocking the sender, he responded with empathy, recognizing the pain behind their actions. Tony also sheds light on the fear that often prevents us from standing up for ourselves and how it can hold us back from growing. His story is not just about overcoming a setback; it's about using every experience as a stepping stone to be better.
