Criticism—it’s uncomfortable, sometimes painful, but what if it’s the key to your next level of success?

In this episode of What Really Matters, Tim breaks down the two types of criticism (constructive vs. destructive), how to separate the helpful from the harmful, and the strategies to turn feedback into fuel rather than frustration.

Inside This Episode:

✔️ The difference between criticism that builds you up vs. tears you down

✔️ How to pause before reacting—so you don’t take things personally

✔️ Why separating the message from the messenger can change everything

✔️ A powerful mindset shift: criticism is often about the giver, not the receiver

✔️ Practical ways to turn feedback into action and level up
