"Well, the pros are the challenges you face while being able to connect with those who identify with your brand, and that's pretty great. Human connection, and being able to help others. The cons are you sometimes can't make everyone happy. Also, not everyone is in the best places in their lives, so you have to be kind and patient and try to turn their day around. But that's not always possible, and sometimes your kindness is repaid with unkindness. But you just gotta be true to yourself, right? So I look at it as a character workout, keeping the strength of your character fit and strong. And that there is a hidden benefit."
