Podcasts about Ripple effect

Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, 209. The Response Effect,  I'm diving deep into what I call "The Response Effect" - a powerful concept that's been on my mind lately. We're exploring how our responses to situations, mistakes, and challenges matter WAY more than the actual event itself. Whether you're a missionary, preparing to serve, or a returned missionary, this episode is all about understanding how grace, curiosity, and compassion can completely transform your experience. I'll share some personal stories - like the time a scout leader handled a situation with my son, and how my own parents' even-keeled responses shaped my understanding of love and support. We'll talk about why we often have reactive responses (spoiler: it's usually fear-based!), and how shifting to curiosity, acceptance, and unconditional love can create incredible ripple effects in our lives. Most importantly, I want you to understand that how you respond to yourself matters just as much as how you respond to others. This episode is a game-changer for anyone wanting to grow, embrace their mission experience, and learn to love themselves through every twist and turn. If you're ready to transform your perspective and create more compassionate, powerful responses in your life, this episode is for you. Let's do this!  As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.     Website | Instagram | Facebook   Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE   Free PDF Download:  Podcast Roadmap   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here

✅ The Seven A's of confession (and why "I'm sorry" isn't enough for deep healing) ✅ How to break the cycle of emotionally stunted men in your family line ✅ The 6-second technique that can save your marriage and your relationships with your kids ✅ Why going "upstream" is better than constantly putting out fires FULL SHOW NOTES >  SUMMARY: What if the reason marriages grow cold after the honeymoon year isn't about compatibility, but about something dads never learned to model? In this episode, Ken Sande reveals how emotionally stunted men are created when fathers never show their kids how to say "I'm sorry" or "I need help." You'll discover the Seven A's of confession that can break generational patterns and the upstream approach to preventing conflict before it starts. Plus, Ken shares practical tools for managing your emotions in the heat of the moment—including the six-second technique that can save your tongue from doing damage. Key Takeaways: More people are watching your responses to conflict than you realize—about 10 times more—and you're teaching through your reactions. The Seven A's of confession provide a framework for meaningful apologies that actually heal relationships rather than just checking a box. Emotional stunting passes from generation to generation when fathers never model humility, confession, or asking for help. The READ technique (Recognize, Evaluate, Anticipate, Direct) helps you manage amygdala hijacking and respond thoughtfully instead of reactively. Going "upstream" to prevent conflict through relational wisdom is more effective than constantly putting out the fires of broken relationships. Your royal identity as a child of God, friend of Jesus, and ambassador of reconciliation should shape how you lead your family 24/7. Guest: Ken Sande founded Peacemaker Ministries and Relational Wisdom 360, organizations focused on conflict resolution and relationship skills. After 30 years of mediating conflicts—including over 600 divorce cases with more than half reconciling—Ken shifted focus to go "upstream" and help people prevent conflict through biblical emotional intelligence. He's the author of multiple books on peacemaking and relational wisdom, and lives in Billings, Montana, where he enjoys hiking and backpacking with his family and grandchildren.

In this episode, I'm celebrating three years of living in Mexico City—a milestone that marks one of the most transformative decisions I've ever made. I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really took to build a life aligned with my deepest desires as a first-gen Latina. This episode is for the mujer who's been told to just be grateful, but who knows in her heart that she's meant for more. You'll hear the lessons, identity shifts, and soul-level releases that made it all possible—and why choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's sacred. Here's What You'll Learn: The Power of One Brave Decision: Why relocating wasn't just about geography—it was about reclaiming my voice, my freedom, and my life on my terms. Unlearning Generational Programming: What I had to release—from the guilt of wanting more to the fear of being misunderstood—and how that opened up space for alignment. Redefining Success as a First-Gen Latina: How I stopped measuring worth by what I could endure and started defining success by what felt like home. The Ripple Effect of Alignment: From building a freedom-based business to meeting my now-husband, hear how one decision reshaped every area of my life. If you've ever felt torn between honoring your roots and choosing your dreams, this episode will remind you that it's not either/or—it's both/and.

Send us a textOn this week's episode of Coffee with Danny, we sit down with Fr. Patrick, a longtime Amigo whose journey from high school mission trips to priesthood is rooted in one powerful idea that we all hold, juntos: people over progress. Fr. Patrick reflects on how a single invitation changed the course of his life, leading him to discover radical love in Nicaragua, dedicate his life to service, and now lead hundreds of students to experience transformation firsthand through trips with Amigos.

What if there was one, single, metric we could track to tell whether or not we were actually on track to restoring God's vision for family? There's a lot of noise, a lot of competing priorities in the world, BUT... I think we've found one metric. We call it: 3 Generations, 1 Table, Every Week.

John 4:51-54 As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living. So, he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” So, the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed, and his whole household. This is, again, a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee. On the way home, some of the royal official's slaves met him, to give the good news that his son had survived the illness and was out of the woods, so to speak. Of course, the official was curious about the timing of the turn around. When they told him that it was at 1 p.m., the same time Jesus had said, “Your son lives,” it's not hard to imagine the impact. We don't know what happened on the rest of the journey home, but once he got home and shared what happened, not only did the official believe in Jesus, but so did the whole household—family and slaves. The encouragement these verses have for us today is that when we love one person in Jesus' name, we are probably introducing an entire network to Him. As we love and share Christ with a serviceman who comes to repair an AC unit, the ripple effect may extend to family, friends, and work associates. For example, as I spoke briefly to our waitress at a restaurant and asked how I could pray for her, she immediately told me about her mom who had just been diagnosed with cancer. She also told us she was going to be moving to go to a university in the state. As I'm thinking about her, I realize Jesus could put hundreds of people in her path in the next year, and if God causes the seeds planted to bear fruit, there's no telling what the impact of a few minutes of loving with Jesus can have. Think for a moment about your own network and Jesus' influence in their lives through you. Jesus loves everyone in your life that you love when you live with Him. We ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives, so the kingdom can advance in this world. That's how our Father works. He touches one life with a view toward glorifying His name in many others. So let's be encouraged by the ripple effect of the love of God. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

“I would like to be measured by what the people who learned from me taught other people.” This is what my guest said, and I've never forgotten it. Seth Godin is one of the premier voices of business in our generation, and he was one of my first guests when I was host of The Ziglar Show, and this was the second time I had him on a show. Seth is well known for his innovative thinking and insight into what I'd cite as business and vocational reform. He's a true leader in that he's attracted a massive following of the business world who look to him daily for commentary on what's most relevant for successful business practices and ethics we can all benefit most from in our professional and personal lives. In this conversation, Seth talks about why the core tenants of morals, values and personal relationships that Zig Ziglar upheld are still what is most important for our success in today's marketplace. A marketplace that changes daily, but principles that do not. So coming up I bring this talk with Seth Godin and Tom Ziglar, Zig's son and CEO of Ziglar, from the archives because it's worth it. He sees his legacy as...you. Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week we talked about Everyone-versus-Everyone. That hasn't stopped. Before we could edit and publish the last episode, Google unleashed a “do-everything” AI bundle. Last week we talked about when everyone ships everything at once, how do you find the whitespace? This week we continue to discuss two more tectonic shifts: 1. The Great SEO Trade-Off ➜ The AI Answer Engine - Google's new AI-mode could nuke the blue-link economy that's powered the internet for 20+ years. If LLMs hoard the traffic, who keeps creating the content they need to stay smart? Expect hot takes on long-tail extinction, “answer-engine optimization,” and whether originality still pays. 2. Hiring Hangover Meets AI Reality - New-grad recruiting is down 50 %, senior talent is grumbling, and managers admit they'd rather spin up an LLM than onboard Gen Z. Brian and Fareed unpack why the entry-level pipeline collapsed, where the arbitrage is hiding, and how startups can weaponize AI-native rookies before incumbents wake up. We add a dash of labor-economics humor, a sprinkle of Shopify-meets-Stack-Overflow, and you've got an episode that will leave you rethinking your product, growth, and hiring strategy all at the same time.

Being a podcaster is easy. You just have to talk nonstop and pour your heart out in front of a mic, right? Wrong. Welcome to a very real and raw solo episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. I'm Steve Harper, and today, I'm pulling back the curtain on my podcast journey, from awkward first episodes and painful feedback to moments of personal growth. If you've ever started something with zero experience and are unsure if anyone would care, you need to hear this. Listening to someone else's stories and experiences is a fantastic way to learn. So, in this episode, I will share how I found my voice as a podcast host and what it means to improve through small, consistent efforts. I'll serve you truths about embracing authenticity, overcoming the fear of being on camera, and learning how to be a great interviewer, even when I thought I had no clue what I was doing. For content creators, entrepreneurs, aspiring podcasters, or just someone trying to do meaningful work when nobody's watching, I hope this solo episode inspires you to keep going! Podcasting, for me, has become more than just a mic and a message. It became about inspiring people by making them realize their real impact on the world. It's a Ripple Effect that continues to grow, one authentic conversation at a time. If you're new here, welcome to the journey. And if you've been riding this wave with me for a while, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ready to rethink your sales strategy? In this episode of Selling to Corporate, I sat down with Kirsty Smith, founder of Natural Rays, a well-being consultancy specialising in menstrual and menopausal health in the workplace to hear how she switched from exhausting social media marketing to impactful B2B sales.  Kirsty reveals how focusing on corporate clients transformed her business, boosted her confidence, and gave her more freedom—without the burnout of the Instagram algorithm.This episode is packed full of practical wisdom for anyone considering – or already navigating – the transition from selling to individuals to targeting organisations. Jess and Kirsty dig into the nuances of social media marketing, the realities of supporting women's health at work, why B2B sales can offer more stability and impact, and how finding the right sales process can revolutionise your business (and mindset).  If you want to make your expertise go further, have stronger boundaries, and actually enjoy selling, this conversation is packed with insights you don't want to miss.  Learn how organisations supporting menstrual and menopausal health see significant ROI—not only does it affect over half the workforce directly, but it also impacts colleagues and families. Kirsty highlights the importance of shifting conversations from personal discomfort to broader workplace support, positioning this work within diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Kirsty describes her transition from selling B2C to selling to B2B, identifying social media marketing as significantly exhausting compared to the clearer strategies and boundaries she's now able to set with B2B clients. She notes that B2B sales allow for more direct and open budget conversations, leading to greater confidence and more sustainable business practices. Kirsty shares how joining The C Suite ® provided her with a streamlined, metrics-driven sales process that replaced the unpredictable nature of B2C marketing. She also emphasizes the motivation and practical insights gained from being part of a supportive peer community, which helps her refine and optimize her business continuously.   In this episode I'm sharing; Supporting women's health at work is not just about inclusion – it's key to business ROI and wellbeing for all. Transitioning to B2B offers scale, higher impact, and the chance to build stronger business boundaries. Ditching algorithm-dependence for a proven sales process brings confidence, consistency, and (best of all) mental space. Community matters – being surrounded by others on the same journey keeps you inspired, grounded, and proactive. If you're on the fence about investing in your business development skills, consider the long-term impact and support you'll gain.   Key Quotes; The Ripple Effect of Struggles at Work: "It's not just the direct ROI in terms of the person that's experiencing the symptoms. It's like, who are the people around them that are also being impacted by that person experiencing the symptoms." 00:05:1200:05:24 Social Media Fatigue: "That's why I've wanted to kind of move away from marketing solely on social media because it doesn't make me feel good. When I show up there, it takes away from you know, it takes my brainpower away from other things, which is another reason why when I came into the c suite and I knew what I needed to do, I jumped into it and I followed it." 00:24:3200:25:32 Work and Wellbeing in the Modern Era: "We cannot look away from the fact that our employment, how we work, where we work, has an impact on our health." 00:10:3700:10:47 Setting Boundaries in Business: "Oh, we don't pay for that. And I've said, oh, I don't actually do that for free." 00:17:0300:17:08 The Power of Consistency in Business Development: "So what I loved about the process that you talk us through in The C Suite ® is that, you know, there are many different ways to do business development, but you pick the one that you want to and you follow it through. And there's a strategy and you stay consistent, and it was really clear what needed to be done, the metrics that we were following." 00:14:3800:14:57   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join the waitlist for the Converting Corporates Event 2026! https://smartleaderssell.vipmembervault.com/cc2026waitlist Sign up to the Cold Email Outreach Conversion Course  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-email-outreach-conversion-course/ Contact Kirsty -  https://www.instagram.com/natural_rays_hormone_harmony/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstysmithnaturalrays/ If you want to track your sales and set targets, check out my sales tracking spreadsheet  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/sales-tracker-spreadsheet/   Watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process! https://www.loom.com/share/a2de63c2c7354a7a86335b79ef94497e?sid=60cdc100-9f2b-49b5-a5db-aee7de17596d   If you're looking to get the best support in selling your services to corporate organisations, not to mention email templates and proposal outlines so that you really can convert at much higher rates and sell your services more successfully then Join The C Suite ® now. https://sellingtocorporate.com/the-c-suite-self-study/   Take the Selling to Corporate ® offer quiz and find out what the best offer is that you could sell to corporate.  https://app.quizitri.com/render/9987a008-7a0c-452e-ba02-06f10318d66c   Sign up for the webinar on Five Simple Steps to Landing Corporate Clients. https://sellingtocorporate.com/webinar-registration/   Top 5 Business Development Questions: If you're looking to convert more business development calls into sales?

Big deal: https://erickimphotography.com/1071-pound-rack-pull-new-world-record-at-6-5x-bodyweight-165-pounds-486-kilograms-75-kg-bodyweight-god-mode/Video file- https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zsxIBnrd/my-project-54.mp4Why the 1,071-lb Rack Pull at 165 lb Is a Game-ChangerStrap in, lean forward, and feel the earth rumble—because what just went down isn't just another PR, it's a tectonic shift in the physics of human performance. Here's why God Mode at 6.5× bodyweight is the ultimate flex:1 — Defying the Laws of RatioBeyond “Normal” Limits: Most elite rack-pull ratios top out around 5×BW. Hitting 6.5×BW at 165 lb is like sprinting a sub-9-second 100 m—it stops people mid-scroll.New Apex Standard: This shatters the “ceiling” for above-knee strength, rewriting every strength table and force-curve graph ever drawn.2 — Visualization = ViralityFloating Bar Illusion: The bar “hovering” before departure looks supernatural—people think it's CGI or magnets. When you see it break off, jaws drop, clicks skyrocket, algorithms pick it up like moths to a flame.Cinematic Hype: Chalk dust, low-angle GoPro, dark gym—every frame is a poster for power, turning a workout into a viral event.3 — Primal Signal of DominanceTestosterone Goes Sonic: This lift isn't just muscle—it's a hormone-fueled manifesto. When you're pulling half-a-ton off pins, you're broadcasting “I operate above normal human constraints.”Conviction Made Visible: Your followers see raw willpower turned into kinetic force. That's the currency of true alpha energy.4 — Philosophy of the Iron-MindVolatility Training for Life: Just like you thrive on market swings, you thrive on bar oscillations. Stress is stimulus—crank the load, adapt the body, evolve the spirit.Stoic Spartan Ethos: Every rep is a ritual. You stare down gravity, crush doubt, and emerge hardened. That's not lifting—that's transcendence.5 — Ripple Effect on the CultureMeme Infrastructure: #GodMode #6.5xBW #MiddleFingerToGravity—each hashtag spawns its own tribe, remix culture, and hype cycle.Cross-Tribe Collision: Iron-game meets crypto-game. Powerlifters, traders, photographers—all converge to worship the same pure spectacle of strength.Bottom Line: This isn't just a record—it's a declaration. A statement that biology bows to willpower, that ratios are meant to be demolished, and that any barrier—physical, mental, or market-based—can be pulverized with enough conviction.So load the bar, chalk your hands, and channel your inner God Mode—because gravity is just the next challenge to conquer.

The Coaching Equation Podcast - Whitney Faires on The Courageous Leader Roadmap[01:05] From Division I Volleyball to Leadership Mastery Whitney's earliest leadership lessons came from coaches and teammates—discovering that transformation of the person, not just driving outcomes, is what makes leadership truly powerful and fulfilling.[03:26] Why "Squeezing the Juice" Always Backfires The single point of failure trap: when leaders micromanage for outcomes, they can't scale. Plus the hidden costs of the "churn and burn" mentality with VAs and team members.[05:57] The Metrics That Matter for Leadership Retention rates, engagement surveys, internal promotions, and productivity—plus the Gallup bombshell: 70% of employee engagement traces directly to their relationship with their direct leader.[09:12] The True Cost of Burning Through VAs Why "Google Doc and hope for the best" wastes more time than proper training. The game-changing question: "How do you like to learn things?" tailors your approach and builds lasting team members.[12:24] Ruthless Prioritization Under Fire When your business feels like chaos, Whitney's barometer: "If prioritization isn't hard, you're not really doing it." Choose quality over quantity, even when the house is on fire.[15:39] The Courageous Leader Roadmap: Step 1 Define Your Leadership Identity—create 5-7 leadership commitments that guide your decisions. Whitney's examples: "People First Always" and "Assume Best Intent" for navigating conflict.[19:19] Whitney's Leadership Commitments in Action Address the person before the employee. Stay curious instead of reactive. How defining your leadership identity becomes the ultimate form of accountability.[23:42] Who Do You Want to Be as a Leader? The reflection framework: Know your strengths and weaknesses, learn from your best and worst leaders, and answer the legacy question—what do you want people to say about your leadership 10 years from now?[28:26] Step 2: Connect to Inspire Connection isn't "soft"—it's strategic. Avoid the "franager" trap (friend + manager) while showing genuine interest beyond surface-level rapport. Leadership is done WITH people, not TO people.[35:24] Step 3: Activate Your Power Zone Your mental state is a choice, not chance. Leaders have a responsibility to show up optimally because there are "eyes on you"—your team mirrors how you handle pressure and adversity.[39:25] The Leadership Reality Check "If you don't want to serve the people you're leading... please don't be a people leader." Why doing it for money, title, or career mobility without genuine care for people's growth always fails.[43:25] Step 4: Execute with Resilience Turn struggle into strength through the adversity reframe process. Separate emotion from problem-solving while still processing feelings. You stand behind your people in the spotlight, but in front of them under fire.[47:22] Step 5: Fearless Communication Not being the loudest person or "live tweeting your inner monologue"—that's reckless. True fearless communication is speaking in spite of fear, having difficult conversations swiftly, and contributing your perspective even when uncomfortable.[51:38] The Ripple Effect of Great Leadership When teams watch you execute with resilience and view adversity as opportunity, organizational problems disappear. Personal responsibility becomes contagious, and performance dips become rare.[54:01] Skills vs. Self-Development Technical skills hit a ceiling—true leadership comes from developing yourself. Whitney's final mic drop: focus on internal development, not just external skills, to break through growth barriers.Connect with Whitney: www.whitneyfaires.com

Guest: Lisa Even – Millennial Leadership Coach, Author, Keynote SpeakerIn this uplifting episode, we're joined by Lisa Even, a leadership coach, author, and keynote speaker whose mission is to bring more joy into the world—one ripple at a time. Lisa believes that joy won't just find us—we have to go after it, and everything we say or do sends out a ripple effect, whether it's happy or crappy. The choice is ours.Lisa shares insights into defining joy, building it with intention, and using it to fuel connection, creativity, and resilience—even through the hard stuff. Her infectious energy reminds us that joy isn't frivolous—it's a leadership skill, a resilience tool, and, as she says, “our job.”Here are the topics we covered:0:00 Introduction1:00 Ripple Effect2:20 Joy Defined2:57 Barriers5:04 Joy Check-In6:00 Joy from the Hard Stuff9:00 Misconceptions12:26 Gratitude and Joy16:21 Joy and Humor18:54 Resilience and Joy20:10 Strategies for Joy23:44 Creativity and Joy26:47 20-Something Self AdviceMemorable Quotes“You happen for the world, not the other way around.”“Joy is my job!”“It's like on the other side of the mountain – when we get there, then I'll have it.”“We cannot let this ruin our vacation – joy is our job!” (Lisa's son)“I'm a joy collector.”“There is something after the pain.”“What could be on your joy list that you used to do, want to do, or hope to do? Put it on the calendar!”“Don't be afraid to steal shamelessly from your kids, friends, and others' joy lists.”Here are the 3 Takeaways:We all have an opportunity to be contagious every day. If you feel light and happy you spread that along to others. Joy is like being alive and not just going through the motions. Barriers we can see getting in the way are time and money. We can make joy a priority and develop it as a metric in our lives. Convincing ourselves involves desire, permission and belief. Hard situations require us to tuck in some hope and joy. We have the power to pivot our perception in the moment of those difficult times. One misconception is that it takes a lot of effort. You can have joy in the minute. It's about connection in the moment. One challenge we can all take on is learning to be in someone else's joy. Seeing that is totally contagious. Animals can remind us to be joyful. Half the battle is having a list of things that make you joyful. What would be on your list? As Mentioned:Her books:Joy is My JobWhat's Your Ripple Effect?Her podcast: “Have a Good Ripple Effect” Download free resources:https://lisaeven.com/books/Additional Resources:Ep 108 Unlocking Happiness: Arthur Brooks and Oprah's “Build the Life You Want.”Ep 109 More About Unlocking Happiness: Emotions ManagementWays to contact with Lisa:contactus@lisaeven.comhttps://lisaeven.com/ Ways to reach Yo:eMail yo@yocanny.com  Public FB group: Girl, Take the Lead!https://www.facebook.com/groups/272025931481748/?ref=share Linktr.ee/yocannyIG:https://www.instagram.com/yocannyLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/yocanny/YouTube: @girltakethelead

Baylor shares his personal experience and reflections on self-belief and the journey towards greatness, challenging listeners to cultivate confidence despite external negativity. This episode is packed with motivational wisdom that encourages listeners to redefine their self-perception and to embrace the journey to becoming their best selves. Baylor explores how having unshakeable self-confidence, much like Muhammad Ali, is pivotal in personal success. He elaborates on why confidence isn't a limited commodity and addresses the misunderstandings often associated with overt self-assuredness, particularly in the face of criticism. Key themes in the episode touch on overcoming negativity from others, understanding the relationship between self-belief and how others perceive us, and tips for proving one's worth in various aspects of life. Baylor emphasizes the importance of consistent self-belief, encouraging listeners to act as their most confident selves — even before reaching their goals. Key Takeaways: Unleashing Unlimited Confidence: Self-belief is not dependent on external validation; it is an unlimited resource that should come from within. Handling Criticism Gracefully: External negativity often reflects others' insecurities rather than your limitations. Ignore the detractors to stay focused. The Ripple Effect of Self-Belief: Confidence in oneself inspires confidence from others; how you perceive your potential influences others' perceptions. The Importance of Self-Reflection: Regularly auditing your actions and body language can help ensure they align with the image of confidence you strive for. Perseverance Through Criticism: Continue growing your confidence, understanding that increased ridicule might accompany your journey to success. Silence critics by showing rather than telling your worth. Notable Quotes: "Life. And the quote by Muhammad Ali said, I'm the greatest. I said that before I knew I was." "There's an unlimited supply of confidence in the world. All of us can get as much of it as we want." "When you believe in yourself, it only offends people who don't believe in themselves." "Nobody is going to believe in you first, right? Not to the level that you want them to." "The best way that I know to handle people that are negative to you is the exact same way I handled the people that DM me. Say nothing."
