When you’ve hosted as many shows as I have, you get good at reading faces. You can see it while you’re talking — that twisted look that tells you everything you need to know. A lot of people sitting next to you aren’t rooting for your success. They’re competing with you… on your show.
You know the type.
If you say green, they say orange.
If you say wet, they say dry.
If you say this, they say that.
Every opinion you give gets hit with a “yeah, but…”
It’s subtle. It’s constant. And it’s intentional.
Some people love to undermine you — all while pretending they’re just “doing radio.” And the crazy part? You STILL give them credit, you STILL highlight their strengths, and they STILL find a way to turn it into a competition.
It's clear, they’re jealous of who you are and what you’ve built.
So the real question is: how do you navigate through talented people who are secretly jealous of you?
1. Stop caring about the faces they make.
When you speak, speak. Period.
Stop shrinking because somebody’s face looks funky while you are talking.
Stop wondering who’s going to like or dislike what you’re saying.
When you are the leader, you speak with authority — You don't have to ask NOBODY'S permission TO SPEAK WITH POWER. WHO CARES WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE!
2. Stop placating insecure people.
You don’t need their agreement.
You don’t need their validation.
You don’t need the nods and the fake smiles.
Say what it is. Say how it is. And look them directly in the eye when you say it.
Once they see the shift in you — that you’re leveling up and not asking for their approval — the games stop.
3. Remember: the show is yours. The business is yours.
You built it.
You carried it.
You are the engine.
People will always try to say whatever they want on the platform you created if you don’t set the boundaries.
But now it’s time to assert yourself and take back what belongs to you.
Here’s How You Fix It Today
1. Don’t let people take what doesn’t belong to them.
Your spotlight is not up for debate.
2. Don’t fight for the spotlight — it’s already yours.
Be firm with anyone who tries to become the spokesperson for YOUR creation.
3. Go silent on them.
Stop trying to be agreeable.
Stop the small talk.
Stop making them feel comfortable while they actively disrespect you.
4. Tell the truth privately — and watch their spirit.
Pull them aside.
Talk one-on-one.
Tell the absolute truth and see if they submit to it or fight it.
That alone will reveal everything.
5. Don’t avoid conflict when it knocks on your door.
Truth will always expose who really belongs with you.
If someone leaves because you finally stood up for yourself — GOOD.
You don’t need anyone who can’t confess when they’re wrong.
Never Give Up Control of Your Show
You can’t allow people with wounded egos to hijack your purpose.
You’ve been generous with them — you’ve shared your stage, your spotlight, your audience. And they STILL want more.
This is the moment you reclaim your studio.
This is the moment you stop letting insecure people set the tone.
This is the moment you stand fully in the authority God gave you.
Because at the end of the day:
It’s your name.
Your reputation.
Your show.
Your leadership.
Act like it.
