How do you deal with negative feedback? If you’re in the business of serving customers or sharing your perspective, then you’re likely no stranger to haters. And while constructive feedback has real value, many complaints (and sometimes insults) aren’t so helpful.
We struggle with negative feedback, and I know a lot of you do, too. So we got Ezra to weigh in on how he manages the haters while still listening to and respecting his customers. He shares his strategies for empathizing and learning from useful complaints, protecting himself from hurtful ones, and knowing which is which.
