## Resource

Validate Me Ep. 7: Rory of Rory & Mal on Fame, Validation & Living in Public (Part 1) In Part 1 of this conversation, Peter Rosenberg sits down with Rory for an honest discussion about validation, public criticism, podcasting, fame, race, ego, and what it means to build a career while thousands of people have an opinion about your life. From the pressures of internet culture to learning how to separate your identity from public perception, Rory opens up about the moments that challenged him most, and what he's learned from them. Together, he and Peter unpack why validation can show up in unexpected ways, especially when your life is lived in public. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 drops next Thursday.
