If you don’t have haters, you’re playing too small. In this episode we dig into why criticism shows up the moment you raise your standards, how to handle online trolls and quiet “grapevine haters,” and the leadership moves that turn negativity into traction—without getting dragged into the mud.

We cover clap-backs (with class), why competitors hate from insecurity, how to read team “dissent” (love vs. frustration vs. misinformation), and why leaders must sell the vision so the org isn’t run by rumor mills. Plus: using facts (not shade) to win business, letting results speak, and building an industry that raises all boats.
