The Courage To Be Disliked

Hate comments in this industry aren't so much a risk as an inevitability, and they can sting a little harder when what you've bared in public isn't something like your writing or your code, but your naked self and intimate soul. However - most criticism that gets to you has nothing to do with your business, although it sure can feel like it does when someone points out a flaw you're personally insecure about in front of your 50,000 fans on social media. This episode is about learning to sort what bruises your ego from what hurts your income, so you spend your energy on the feedback that could cost you, and let everything else roll off. We'll also take a look at Adlerian psychology as a defense mechanism against trolls, and how we should really be thinking about losers who spew hate online.
