In this latest episode of our Clinic Founder Series, Dr. Matthea Rentea and I discuss the toughest gap all entrepreneurs face (including ourselves!): handling feedback.

Whether it’s a comment about your social media, your clothes or your crooked tooth, a simple piece of input from someone else doesn’t feel simple at all.

It can land emotionally.
It can bring up defensiveness, fear, anger or shame.
And it can definitely distract you from your larger goal.

While most entrepreneurs claim they want honest perspectives from others, very few are actually prepared for how it feels to receive that feedback - especially when it challenges how they see themselves, their business, or their decisions.

We talk about:
• Why certain comments hit harder than expected (especially from friends and family)
• The difference between hearing something and actually being open to it
• How these moments reveal blind spots you can’t see on your own
• Why this skill becomes more important as you step into leadership

• The framework you can use to help you navigate these situations in the future

This isn’t about communication tactics.

It’s about the internal work required to grow as a founder—especially when you’re surrounded by other high-achieving, thoughtful people who are reflecting things back to you that you may not be ready to hear.

Because the truth is:

Your growth as an entrepreneur is limited to what you’re willing to see and what you are willing to share with others.
