## Resource

In Part 2 of Peter Rosenberg's conversation with Rory, the discussion shifts from personal validation to what happens when millions of people have an opinion about you. Together, they unpack internet outrage, parasocial relationships, public criticism, platforming controversial voices, Joe Rogan, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and why validation is something no amount of success can permanently satisfy.
