The Courage to Ask: Michael Stoller on Embracing Vulnerability
“To me there's this fine line that I learned growing up between a white lie and a lie. The truth is, you maybe just don't want to go. The lie is, I'm not feeling that well, or something else came up, and it's just how I was raised.”

He makes a compelling case for breaking free from shame and pride, highlighting that asking for help is not about weakness but about self-awareness and growth.
