In this episode of One Percent Better, Jay Hill leads a powerful and transparent conversation about the tension between accountability and criticism — and why so many of us confuse the two.

Joined by co-hosts Alex Blanc and Janae, and guest YS, the crew unpacks how feedback can either fuel your growth or fracture your confidence — depending on how it’s delivered and received. From relationships to leadership to creative collaboration, this episode dives deep into what it really means to hold yourself (and others) accountable without crossing the line into judgment.

It’s honest. It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable in all the right ways — the kind of real talk that makes you reflect and level up.

🔑 Key Topics:

• The difference between calling someone out vs. calling them up
• When accountability becomes criticism (and how to tell the difference)
• Why tone, timing, and intention matter in feedback
• Learning to accept correction without taking it personal
• Holding friends, coworkers, and partners accountable — with love
• How criticism can break trust if it’s not rooted in care
• What healthy growth conversations sound like
