13187: You Might Want To Listen To What Jodi Picoult Has To Say

Raw transcript:

they say that negative feedback is often
much more available and obvious and
treacherous to our mindset than
something supportive something lovely
and author Jodi Picoult and I have something
to say about that in this episode of the
vo Heroes
podcast Jodie Picoult is a beloved author
uh she pronounces her last name Pico
like Pico Deo she said that in a Tik Tok
video so jod Pico says sometimes you
don’t see the millions of people who
accept you for what you are all you
notice is the person who
doesn’t the one person who doesn’t makes
more impact on you than all of the
people who you don’t even know love you
for who you are uh support you want you
to continue on with your journey and
want to help you with that journey and
it’s so
true it’s so true it’s invisible
sometimes the
loveliness that your followers your
friends your family your clients your
peers in the business uh other actors
other voice Talent other authors have
for you because there’s no requirement
or urgency about them saying I
appreciate you out of the blue but there
certainly are these dipwads who will
take as much time as is humanly possible
and be as forceful as they can to show
off how clever they are about how much
they despise you about how much they
hate you about how wrong you are and I
just want you to look at the numbers if
you would because the number of people
who do that so so small compared to the
huge number of people who are just fine
with you in fact they’re your fans you
know we don’t get that reinforcement on
a regular basis and it would be nice if
we did but we don’t but it is something
that you can remember always remember
the haters are in the minority unless
you’re you know you’re a
psychopath you know uh but but for the
most part the the the rest of us we have
far more people who love us than don’t
love us and it’s important to remember
that especially when you’re sitting
there going oh what did I do what am I
doing how am I handling this what’s
going on did I make a mistake there did
I do something right there if I did
something right how come I didn’t get
reinforcement on that you know what I
mean there’s nobody standing around
waiting to catch you doing something
right but there are plenty of people and
some of them become very vocal who are
capable of catching you doing something
that they consider to be wrong wrong and
they’ll tell you about it especially
with the anonymity of the
internet but know that you are loved
know that you are supported if you’re a
member of one of my memberships or one
of my communities or you’re watching
this you’re supported I’m doing this to
support you and I want you to know that
I can’t wait to see what you’re going to
do on your journey I’m I’m in the big
group I I I claim team you right so just
know that that’s the case and that the
few times that somebody calls you out
and decides you’re not good enough for
them far in the minority use
that make that fuel for
you uh let me know what you think about
