In today's episode, I dive deep into a personal struggle and share my raw experience of making a big mistake that hurt someone I deeply care about. I opened up about the emotional journey of acknowledging my error, taking full responsibility, and working towards repairing the broken trust. This candid discussion sheds light on the importance of facing our missteps with integrity and humility.

"For me, the thought of breaking someone's trust, whether I care about them or not, the thought of breaking someone's trust is not who I see myself to be." ~Mark Silverman
