Why Creatives Struggle With Feedback w/ Jule Kim | Ep 412

Hey, future fam. We're back with another episode, and this time, we're talking to Jewel. We think this topic will be of interest to many of you, and it's about how you hear, receive, and process feedback. But without saying too much more, I'm gonna throw this over to Jewel. Jewel, what are we doing today? Well, Chris, we're going to talk about feedback on both sides of the table. And the reason why I wanted us to talk about this is because we've done a ton of calls together both on Clubhouse and Instagram and LinkedIn lives. Especially last year, we did a whole series on sales. We've had people come up and do role plays. They try to sell to us, and then we take it or leave it. And most of the times, we were both leaving it, which was hilarious. And I noticed that how you give feedback, how I give feedback, not exactly the same. And I think our viewpoints, at the end of the day, may be in a very similar place, but we come at it from a slightly different lens. We've both had journeys, you a little bit longer than mine. You've achieved a level of success that I think most people would objectively say they would also like something like that. Me, myself, I'm not totally there yet. But I do think that when I look at my journey and I look at your journey and the journey of many other people who have achieved some level of recognition, of wealth, status, of even just creating something, being an influencer, I was reflecting on this, and, of course, this is my inner voice. I think this is the inner voice of a lot of creatives is we intellectually know that we need feedback in order to help us along this journey that we aspire to get to something further along than we already are. And yet feedback can feel so painful. And I even see this on Reddit. I see this on threads on Facebook. I see people reaching out to me with questions. I've had my friends where they ask me for feedback, but I can tell they don't really want it. So, yeah, I think if we can dive into some of this, this will be fun, especially if we get into the real razor truth, what you really think. You just reminded me of something, and that is sometimes I give people feedback, and they're like, oh, Chris roasted me. I'm like, well, I think we may have different definitions of roasting. And I'm gonna go with the one that's mostly associated with pop culture, like the roasting of Tom Brady, which is inviting some friends and maybe some not friends to go full bore attack you for every single thing you've ever done in your life, whether you're responsible for it or not. And it takes a brave person to sit in that chair to invite this …
