When a man named Richard slid into my DMs to tell me how bad it looks that my personal Instagram account has less than 3K followers compared to my 2-million-follower business account, I had two choices: take it personally… or turn it into a teachable moment.

In this episode, I share why follower count doesn't equal credibility, how to filter feedback so it serves your vision, and why you don't have to play the game other people think you should be playing. From Cristiano Ronaldo comparisons to the myth of "social status," this is your reminder that the only metrics that matter are the ones aligned with your goals.

If you've ever felt judged for your numbers or your choices, this is the permission slip you didn't know you needed!
