Radio Becomes Easy When You Stop Caring Who Doesn’t Like You

The only people winning are the ones who stopped caring about the judgement of other people.
I speak on this a lot because I know this is what is killing our spirit. You want people to agree with you on how you feel about certain things you see happening. And when people don’t give me the reaction I think they should have… does that mean I'm out of touch?

Some people are really afraid to say out loud what you think — much less say it publicly.

Your attitude has to be simple:

It’s irrelevant if people don’t want to hear what you have to say.
Say it anyway.

Don’t focus on the handful of people who don’t get you.
Say it from your heart or just be silent. This is why we are not connecting with people. We are not saying what we feel from the heart. Always know that the heart knows when it is hearing the truth.

I tell people all the time:
You are talking just to be talking. Just generic bullshit so you can sound intelligent to dumb people. A word salad person is not interesting to listen to.

Just do this: Don’t speak for applause.
Don’t say what you think somebody wants you to say. Say it even when people act like they didn’t hear it.

My responsibility is to the people who get it.
The people who hear me.
The people who understand the frequency I speak from — and may not even respond.

So what?
Who cares who responds, as long as what I’m speaking is coming from the heart?
This is how I do my show.
This is how I talk to people.

Like Damon Dash said — I don’t have a boss.
I don’t have a person in my life who relegates my speech.
This is why I chose the independent path of speaking to my audience.

The gatekeepers of this industry did not start my career, and they won’t end it.
It is finished when I say so.

I think we all should feel like that.

You don’t need permission to speak from your heart.
You don’t need a crowd to agree with you.
You don’t need every ear — just the right ones.

And the day you stop seeking applause and hoping people smile at you and agree with you — you become a free person.

Liberate yourself from the judgement of other people.
That’s my theme for my life.
When I’m on the air, I’m free.

My freedom has frightened a lot of my close radio friends because I’m not a slave for a corporate radio check.
I don’t want a job — I want to be free.

What about you?
