Prepared for the Audience You Deserve

In this episode of Bonnerfide Conversations, I talk to the people who feel pulled in more than one direction—and have been told they had to choose.

I share a personal story about being warned that loving wrestling, music, faith, and culture at the same time would cost me credibility. What I learned instead changed everything: the problem was never my range. It was the audience.

This conversation is about:

Protecting your vision from voices that can’t see your future

Why loyalty to the wrong people can quietly abort your purpose

The danger of burying your gifts instead of refining them

How rejection is often about appetite, not ability

Why a smaller, aligned audience can be more powerful—and profitable—than mass approval

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by expectations, mislabeled, or pressured to simplify who you are, this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking.

You don’t need everyone.

Listen. Reflect. Then decide who gets a seat in your life this season.
