“When You Stop Hiding, Your Real Voice Scares People—and That’s the Point”

Clarity Repels Before It Attracts

Once you say, “This is who I am,” you can’t hide anymore. You’re accountable to your own voice.

That’s why most people never do it. They are afraid of Silence.

This is what I know for sure: if you really want to be free on air in expressing yourself, you’ve got to understand something most don’t — clarity repels before it attracts. If you want to be a personality driven opinionated radio pro, this is what comes with becoming that person.

When you’re clear, the wrong people leave fast. That’s good. It creates space for the right ones to arrive. Real growth comes when your audience feels like they know you. Your'e personality is not suppose with everybody. You might be like I was early in my career when I thought that everybody had to like me. I would broadcast like that. I would get quiet when people disagreed with me. I was afraid of losing listeners. It's naive to think everyone is gonna like what you say or stand for. This is what we must break away from to cut through the noise. You gotta be you.

Once you start doing this, some people will get uncomfortable. But your tribe will begin to arrive. People on your show will get quiet when they hear you speak in your real voice. Why are they silent? Because you destroyed who you were in their minds. Now they have to deal with something else.

You stopped hiding among your peers on the show. Now the real fun begins.

As you practice your freedom on the air, you are getting ready for your next opportunity to be even more emboldened in a new city. I’m coming with fire.

Right now, just remind yourself , "I’m practicing my freedom".

Start now. Challenge yourself. Let your heart beat fast with nervousness. That’s when you know you’re alive. You are about to say something of consequence because you’re getting nervous. That’s what freedom feels like.

Say it.
Go ahead. Say it.

I really want you to know that the most important thing you can do in your personal development at any age in this business is to eliminate the judgment of other people’s opinions about you. Don't you let that stop you from being yourself on air.

So today, make a declaration of independence when you open your mouth to speak. Set yourself free by being you.

In 2026, we are ignoring all the player haters that surround us. Together, we are gonna set ourselves free for real.
