Embracing Imperfection as Role Models
[01:11] Kale Lowry emphasizes the importance of authenticity over perfection, especially for those in the public eye. He states:
"If someone thinks that they're perfect, it drives me crazy because I said that being a role model, especially like, you're a role model to a lot of people. I feel like I'm a role model to a lot of people. But the special thing about that is you don't have to be perfect. It's like you go through a lot of shit in your life and then when you come out the other side, that's what the fucking inspiration is."
