Episode 85: Brutal Feedback


Listen Later

Ever received feedback so savage it made you consider a career in alpaca farming? 🦙
☕ This week’s panel dives into the most ego-shattering, soul-crushing and (eventually) character-building conflicts they’ve survived, plus their best tips on how to dish it out and take it like a pro.

We’re talking:
 🔪 Having book crits while being locked in actual cupboards (because why destroy someone’s confidence in a well-lit room?)
 ⬛ Clients asking for 100% black to be… er blacker (Physicists, help?) 

🔥 Interview meltdowns so bad they should come with a bullet-proof vest
😂 Lessons that, somehow, turned out to be pure gold

Today's survivors:
🥊 Phil Blackmore, Create Health

🥊 Khalid Latif, VML

🥊 Brett O’Connor, VCCP Health
