How to Turn Your Haters Into Your Biggest Fans
Ever felt like everyone around you just doesn't get it? Join me, Sean Michael Crane, on the Unstoppable Mindset Podcast, where I share how to navigate the often turbulent waters of criticism and misunderstanding while staying true to your path. As I expand my reach on social media, the noise from naysayers has only grown louder, but I've learned that resilience and authenticity are my greatest allies. This episode serves as a rallying cry to hold firm to your beliefs and values, no matter who's doubting or judging your journey. It's a call to action for anyone feeling pressured by family, friends, or online strangers to choose a side on personal goals or societal issues.
Authenticity shines brightest when faced with negativity, and I've seen skeptics transform into supporters by staying true to my purpose. We'll explore the power of representing your beliefs and the satisfaction of aligning with your true self, even in the face of resistance. Discover how personal integrity and focus can turn doubters into advocates through positive actions and genuine connections. If you or someone you know feels misunderstood or criticized, this episode offers encouragement and strategies to overcome these challenges while remaining steadfast and authentic.
If you're doing things that you know in your heart are good for you, but then you get questioned by other people and you quickly backstep, dude, you're going against your truth.
Speaker 1:My biggest thing that I want to tell you right now, the most important thing, is just fucking prove them wrong. Prove them wrong by not quitting, by not giving up, by not getting sidetracked or backstepping when people start to ridicule you or judge you. The most important thing is, at the end of the day, when you look in the mirror, you make yourself happy and you know in your heart you're doing the right thing. Prove them all fucking false. With positive action and over time, you're going to win them over and you're going to turn anybody that doubted you, anybody that judged you, anybody that hated on you, into your biggest fans that will support you going.

Speaker 1:We're out here in beautiful Santa Barbara, california, in the HQ, the Unstoppable HQ and podcast studio, and I got some different messages I'm going to share and record today. But I wanted to talk specifically about people who hate on you or make negative comments and a speaker and building my company, unstoppable 365, is the higher that you rise in the ranks, the more ridicule, the more resistance, the more hate you're going to get. It's just the way it is. Not everyone's going to like you or agree with what you're doing, but there comes a time in your life where you need to take a stance and have an opinion and form your own belief and stand by it, and the same goes for like politics and stuff too. Right now is a very contentious time. There's a lot of divisiveness in the United States, with Donald Trump being president, and there's a lot of you know things going on in the government, and people are really being politicized right now. But I think, rather than try to ignore it like a lot of people do and say, oh gosh, like I'm sick of the drama and go about your life, like you should still go about your life. But you should pick a side. You should pick a side and figure out who you want to represent. Who's back do you have?
Speaker 1:It's really important in certain matters that you do pick a side, and the same goes for your own personal goals in your own journey, whether that's building a business, whether that's making lifestyle changes, relationship changes. What you're going to realize is not everybody is going to agree, not everybody is going to understand why you're doing what you're doing, and I've seen a lot of people who, when they get ridiculed or when they're judged, they freeze and they tend to backtrack and they try to appease everybody and, at the end of the day, that's never going to serve you. Okay, if you're doing things that you know in your heart are good for you, but then you get questioned by other people and you quickly backstep, dude, you're going against your truth, you're going against what you know in your heart. You need to be doing so. For me personally, I don't get a ton of hate, but I do have people that misunderstand me or they might say, oh, why do you cuss? Or oh, you're a little too intense, or your message is this your message is that and I just know that my message isn't for them, but for every one person that might misunderstand me, there's hundreds or thousands that vibe with my message, that connect with my message and that support me in what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:But more recently, on Instagram and other platforms, me and my team have been boosting certain content, running ads, doing things to grow the business, and now I'm exposed to people that don't know my backstory. They don't know my authenticity, my truth, where I come from, what I've overcome. You see, on social media I've documented everything I've done since I came home building my business, seeking redemption, just in my life, with sobriety, and all the things I didn't do when I was younger forming a family, raising children. I've done a lot since I've come home. So people that have seen my journey, they know my heart, they know who I am, they trust and believe in me because I've demonstrated it for so long. Like when you demonstrate it for so long, things change.
Speaker 1:But in the beginning you know people aren't going to understand you. Or, if you're for me, like I'm now, being introduced to thousands of new people who don't know my story, my backstory, they don't know who I am, and so it's funny, like on, on these reels that I'm putting out to the world, I'll get tons of guys who say the dumbest things and just hate on them, like one recent Reel that I boosted was really good. It was talking about the biggest distractions for men in 2025 and it was talking about phones and screen time and just not using your phones for a purpose, but using it to escape. And then, specifically, guys who get sucked into the world of porn and they're just addicted to watching porn and it affects their relationships, it affects their mental health and a lot of things. That's a big issue with guys.
Speaker 1:I coach men, I talk to men all the time about their issues and that's one of the main things that come up. And lastly, ironically, is sports and football. Guys just get so consumed to knowing about all the stats, not just watching the games all day on the weekend but then you know fantasy football leagues and you know watching the ESPN and all the different analysis throughout the week, and like they spend so much time and energy consumed by sports. And look, I love sports, I'm an athlete at heart. I wanted to be a professional athlete when I was a kid, but there comes a time when you realize, dude, I'm not going to be a professional athlete. Like I'm not on the team, my name's not on the back of a jersey, maybe I shouldn't spend so much of my fucking time and energy consumed by these other people's lives. Like, it's okay to watch sports, but if you don't have the results you want in your own life, maybe you got to get to work to fix that first. So that was my message.
Speaker 1:And I had all these guys that were angry with the message, that were putting hate on that reel, that were trying to downplay what I was saying. And it's like, dude, how ignorant can you be? Don't you see that the average man nowadays is suffering and struggling to find their path in life? The average man is struggling to find a sense of purpose and identity that drives him each and every day to get out of bed and do the work required to build something he's proud of. Like it's a big issue, and I work with these guys every single day. This is how I built my business, was leading these men providing value sharing where I came from, which is the depths of despair, rock bottom and now the life I've been able to create and showing them what's possible. So I know these issues intimately and I've lived it and I'm a part of solving these problems for people.
Speaker 1:So it's funny when I get guys who hate on these comments number one, a red flag goes up. I know that these individuals are probably afflicted by the things I'm describing and they're either in denial or what most people do is they project and they get angry when they're called out about something. Instead of taking inventory, instead of being honest with themselves and taking responsibility for their lives, they want to attack and point fingers, because then that takes instead of taking inventory, instead of being honest with themselves and taking responsibility for their lives, they want to attack and point fingers, because then that takes the blame elsewhere and they don't have to fix themselves or do anything about it. So I know how to deal with people like this. Sometimes I just call them a pussy or say, dude, you're weak, and see how that affects them and triggers them. But other times and this is what I did this morning I'll actually ask them questions and ask them like well, why do you think that?
Speaker 1:Or in this specific message, I had a guy say, dude, you're spewing nonsense. And I literally said men are distracted by three things right now their phones, porn and sports. And it's true, and most people realize that if you have a husband or a brother or a guy and you see how they're living their lives and the guys that aren't getting the results they want, it's because they're distracted and they're escaping. And these are the different ways they tend to escape. Drugs and alcohol is another big one, a massive one that I didn't even touch on. But this individual, I said I'll spew nonsense and I started asking him questions and kind of challenged him on his thought process and then he actually DM me and said dude, we should talk and connect. I gave you a follow, I saw some of your other stuff, I like what you're doing, and he quickly changed up his tune, all because I took the time just to address it.
Speaker 1:And here's the main point is like people need to be challenged. When we have, you know, people just say whatever they want. Nowadays with social media, they can talk shit to anyone or just get on there and say whatever they want, but like no one's being held accountable and no one's being challenged by what they're saying. Like we need to hold people accountable. We need to challenge them, whether it's you know, in politics, like you're seeing right now, on a global scale, in your own household, with your friends at work, like it's very important to hold people accountable. Okay, but back to my other point earlier about like people who might hate on you, they might not believe in you initially, they might not understand why you're changing.
Speaker 1:My biggest thing that I want to tell you right now, the most important thing, is just fucking prove them wrong. Prove them wrong by not quitting, by not giving up, by not getting sidetracked or backstepping when people start to ridicule you or judge you, because that's going to confirm what they thought all the while. You're going to prove them right. And here's the thing is like down the road, and this is what's happened to me.
Speaker 1:I've posted content for five, six years straight thousands and thousands of videos and messages and you win people over by being consistent, because you prove that you are who you say you are. Win people over by being consistent. Because you prove that you are who you say you are, they start to believe in you. They see that you're authentic, they start to feel connected to you because you've demonstrated that you are that person you said you wanted to be Like. Take, for instance, the guy that says I need to get sober. Guys say that all the time and then the next weekend they're drinking Dude. People around you aren't going to believe in you. If you do that Like. You're literally proving yourself false and them right, especially the people, obviously, who hated on you or didn't believe you.
Speaker 1:So when you make these commitments and you make these promises, know that there's going to be resistance, know that not everyone's going to always believe in you, and that's okay. You can't make everybody happy in life. The most important thing is at the end of the day. When you look in the mirror, you make yourself happy and you know in your heart you're doing the right thing. Like if I was putting out content just for clickbait or just to try to trigger people or just to be a jerk, that wouldn't be authentic and genuine to who I am, I'm putting out messages that have served me, that have helped me in my life, messages that I believe in, messages that I know that can help other people, and I'm doing it from a genuine place of wanting to help people and make an impact on this world. So if I have people hating on my content or saying stupid things on my reels, dude, I don't care, because I know in my heart, like when I go to sleep at night, you know, my conscious is clear. When I look in the mirror, I know that I'm living the life that I'm supposed to live and I'm being the version of myself I'm supposed to be. So that stuff doesn't phase me. It doesn't phase me at all.
Speaker 1:But one of the coolest things is being able to turn a hater into one of your biggest fans and then a coaching client, and I do that often because it triggers them, it creates an opportunity to have a conversation. Then they see that, oh, dude, sean's a real guy, he's asking me questions, he actually cares. They start going through my page and seeing other content. Oh, sean is a family. Oh, dude, sean was in freaking prison. Like he came back from all that, dude, he's sober.
Speaker 1:They start learning about me and getting to realize like I'm a genuine, good fucking person. And so one of my favorite things to do is turn haters into fans. And you can do that in your life too. Maybe you're making a change to your health and fitness and your wife or your friends don't get it and they don't want you to change. Maybe guys at work are making fun of you because you want to be sober, you want to be healthy or, on a bigger scale, like people on social media are clowning on you. Dude, prove them all fucking false with positive action and over time, you're going to win them over and you're going to turn anybody that doubted you, anybody that judged you, anybody that hated on you, into your biggest fans that will support you going forward.
