In this special Q&A episode with my son, Casey reveals what he’d tell his 8-year-old self and what “Don’t assume my intensity means I’m not happy” means. The unscripted moments are gold: when you had bad moments, were you internalizing anger at me for being overbearing or just thinking you were a bad kid who didn’t fit in? I think you will find his raw, honest insight very helpful.  P.S.
