You Don’t Have to Like Them to Learn From Them | Ep. 97

March 22nd, 2025 - Not vibing with someone doesn’t mean they don’t have something valuable to say. Growth-minded leaders know how to take the insight—even if they don’t like the source.

In this episode of Growth Notes, Frazier unpacks a real talk moment from a past convo with Michael McAllister, diving into why ignoring people just because you don’t like them is a losing move. If you’re serious about growth, you’ve got to learn to separate feelings from value.

He shares personal experiences and explains why strong leaders adopt a “keep the best, leave the rest” mindset to keep improving—no matter where the lesson comes from.

Growth doesn’t care about your preferences. Hit play and start listening with purpose.
