#UnderdogBites: F*ck What They Think
Today on the show Jayson is talking about the three categories of people, and why the last two are toxic to be around. You have the people that are excited for you and stick around as your supporters, these are the ones you need to keep around and have a relationship with. The second category, being the people who are intimidated by and don’t want to speak up or talk about you, these people are scared, they can’t achieve what you have, and they don’t like it. The third category are the haters, the ones who are so jealous of your success that they need to talk crap about you behind your back. These people can fuel you if you have the right perspective, let their jealousies and hatred motivate you to keep going. We’ve all been in these categories, it’s up to you to stay in the first category and keep the people around you that are going to lift you up.

#UnderdogBites: Everybody Needs a Coach with Jayson Waller
Today on the show Jayson is talking with John LeBlanc about coaching and how effective it can be if you treat it correctly. It can be difficult and uncomfortable to be told how to improve, especially if you’ve been set in your ways for a long time, but Jayson is trying and growing from his CEO coach, learning what he does well and what he needs to improve on. Jayson and John talk about how a coach can be a teacher, a motivator, and a cheerleader all in one. Finding the right coach for you is important as well, it’s ok to disagree with some of the teachings of your coach, but if you fundamentally disagree with almost everything they are saying, it might be time to look for a new one. Coaching is vital to achieving your goals in both business and personally, challenge yourself by finding the right coach for you!
