In Episode 2 of this limited solo series, JD tackles a challenge nearly everyone faces: what to do when one negative voice gets loud. Whether in business, leadership, or personal growth, a single critical voice can outweigh dozens of neutral or positive ones—and derail steady progress if left unchecked.
This episode breaks down why negative voices have so much power, how they often attach to existing insecurities, and why volume never equals truth. JD clearly outlines the questions to ask before reacting, the common mistakes that quietly wreck careers and lives, and practical ways to regain center without panic or overcorrection.
If you’ve ever felt pressured to move faster, explain yourself, or make big changes based on one loud opinion, this conversation will help you slow down, regain clarity, and stay anchored to what’s working. Steady consistency, not reaction, is what outlasts criticism.
