Wow. I don't know that you do climb out of that doghouse. Do you know how long I spent proving myself? He benched me twice - the second time, he stalked me home and showed up in my room to warn me that he knew enough to take me out of the business if I wouldn't retire, so to speak.
That was when I was a kid who did parkour in a ski mask. He hadn't even given me a suit yet.
Best advice I have? Prove yourself capable. It has to be on his time - you just do the job and wait for him to come back around to the idea that you can handle it and that he can trust you.
