At the time, I was like, Why are you doing this to me? After I became a boss, it was, Why did you do this me? He toughened me up. I was a 23-year-old softy from California. Every day he just broke me down, broke me down. Professionally, not emotionally. I would do something and it wasn’t good enough, so I’d go, but not to that level. You don’t realize why your best bosses were a certain way until you get to their position.
