Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Not All Criticism Is Feedback

Welcome to the episode where we separate useful reflection from noise. In Ted Lasso, the fans at the pub act like a character unto themselves—cheering, jeering, and always watching. And just like in business, not all of that input is helpful.This week we’re looking at the Richmond fanbase as a metaphor for your online audience: the pressure to please, the vulnerability of being seen, and the deep need to discern who’s offering real feedback… and who’s just projecting their own shit.We also unpack Rebecca’s experience with personal criticism that masquerades as professional commentary, and how emotional intelligence becomes the best business strategy around.👀 Want more clarity like this every week? Subscribe to my weekly media digest at sensiblewoo.com/subscribe for behind-the-scenes insights, readings, and updates you won’t get anywhere else.Support the showI’m Mary Williams, your host and the founder of Sensible Woo.   School of Moxie the podcast where we watch TV shows and movies and talk about the entrepreneurship lessons embedded in the stories.  The episode archive is found here.You can find this show wherever you listen to podcasts and all of the links to resources, guest information, and anything else we might reference in an episode are in the show notes.  We appreciate your support by subscribing and submitting a 5 star review.  It helps other listeners find and share this content alongside you, our wonderful listeners.Like and follow Sensible Woo on YouTube, Instagram, and don’t forget to subscribe to email updates at sensiblewoo.com, which includes a weekly Tarot reading delivered right to your inbox.Until next week, be sensible, be woo, and most of all, be you. 🤗
