Criticism

We've all experienced moments where we've reacted negatively to criticism. Maybe it was because we didn't like or respect the individual giving the criticism, the criticism wasn't asked for, or the message felt hypocritical. The truth is, it's easy to take criticism the wrong way.

So how can we take criticism in an open way that will allow us to grow? Can we get over being offended long enough to find value in what we're hearing? And what about giving criticism? That's a whole other ball of wax.
On this episode Neight, Willy and Cameron discuss what they've learned about criticism. Neight talks about how criticism is allowing him to shape into the man he wants to be. Willy talks about learning how to give criticism. And Cameron goes into getting over being offended enough to apply the information given to us.

This week, we have a WarStory for the books. Chas Smith, AKA Colicchie is a Hip Hop artist and well known voice in the recovery movement. He shares with us just how deep the hole got for him before he put down the shovel. Hear how he finally was able to tap into a power greater than himself to stay clean and how being a father has become the most important role in his life. We're truly blessed and grateful to be able to share his story with you.

You can follow Colicchie on Instagram at @colicchie and twitter at @colicchie412.
You can also find him on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/colicchie
