How Do You Deal with Criticism? (Part 2) – Brian Johnson

The New Man

Are you following the herd or taking the lead? What’s driving your chronic dissatisfaction and frustration? And how can rubbing people the wrong way be an indicator that you’re on the right track? Heroic Public Benefit Corporation founder, Brian Johnson returns for part 2 in our series. Today we talk about trolls, anger, and using our deep fear of being misunderstood for a greater good. When we see someone do the extraordinary, most of the time we only see the impressive outcomes while the gritty, uncomfortable, awkward stuff stays in the shadows. This series is a behind the scenes look as Brian undergoes his own hero’s journey to bring Heroic into the world. As a coach, I help people navigate this uncertain, challenging terrain everyday, and my hope is that by witnessing Brian’s ups and downs, we can take away some wisdom for our own journey’s. At the time of this recording, Brian’s raising $11 million to get the ball rolling, and Heroic stands to be the first company in history to raise $5 million through crowdfunding. There’s so much more to his grand vision, and you can learn more by visiting wefunder.com/heroic. In this interview: Why do we criticize people who are more courageous than us? How to tell if you’re playing the victim? How can anger and criticism be used for good? Are you defensive or curious? Can you learn to challenge others without vitriol?
