00:00:01.965 --> 00:00:03.208
have you ever been rejected?
00:00:03.208 --> 00:00:05.814
She didn't want to go to prom with you.
00:00:05.814 --> 00:00:09.201
The promotion went to someone other than you.
00:00:09.201 --> 00:00:12.667
A best friend said we are through.
00:00:12.667 --> 00:00:15.131
Well, cheer up, buttercup.
00:00:15.131 --> 00:00:20.585
I'm here to tell you that maybe rejection is what's best for you.
00:00:20.585 --> 00:00:26.393
And surprise, surprise, garth bro agrees with me too.
00:00:26.393 --> 00:00:29.481
Let me tell you something Everybody struggles.
00:00:29.481 --> 00:00:34.960
The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it.
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.365
The choice is completely yours.
00:00:37.365 --> 00:00:43.283
Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life.
00:00:43.283 --> 00:00:51.024
If you find strength in the struggle, then this podcast is for you.
00:00:53.128 --> 00:00:57.895
Do you have a relationship that is comfortable with uncomfortable conversations?
00:00:57.895 --> 00:01:03.670
Uncomfortable conversations challenge you, humble you and they build you.
00:01:03.670 --> 00:01:07.939
When you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, and they build you.
00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:11.875
When you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, it all makes sense.
00:01:11.875 --> 00:01:22.552
Most disagreements, they stem from our own insecurities.
00:01:22.552 --> 00:01:24.474
You are right where you need to be.
00:01:24.474 --> 00:01:30.283
One time we could fly towards the sky the whole day.
00:01:30.283 --> 00:01:33.397
Gone, falling behind.
00:01:33.397 --> 00:01:35.129
We'll rest in our way to the sky.
00:01:35.129 --> 00:01:35.632
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:01:35.632 --> 00:01:40.210
What it do, what it hot Diddity do, get loud.
00:01:40.210 --> 00:01:44.370
Am I so excited to be back with you?
00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:47.328
Oh, it's true, it's damn true.
00:01:47.328 --> 00:01:51.183
I miss you, boo, I miss you.
00:01:51.183 --> 00:01:53.165
I miss you, baby boo.
00:01:53.165 --> 00:01:53.828
Look at you.
00:01:53.828 --> 00:01:56.629
Oh, thanks for coming on back.
00:01:56.688 --> 00:02:17.560
Y'all, thanks for tuning in, thanks for listening Episode 236 of that podcast, that podcast that is proudly brought to you by the fine folks over at Loud Proud American, aka myself and my wife and my mama and my baby you know my baby mama, you know what I'm saying.
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:27.763
Either way, sponsored by, brought to you by Loud Proud American, the podcast that is perfectly precisely beautifully named Share the struggle.
00:02:27.763 --> 00:02:30.251
Because, as we know, boys and girls, everybody struggles.
00:02:30.251 --> 00:02:33.509
And today we have some more struggles on tap for you.
00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:36.669
Today we're going to talk about rejection with you.
00:02:36.669 --> 00:02:43.370
Y'all been turned down, y'all been put down, y'all been beat down, told to turn around.
00:02:43.370 --> 00:02:46.848
You understand, I know it's true because I've been through it too.
00:02:46.848 --> 00:02:50.631
We've all had a little mud rubbed in our face.
00:02:50.631 --> 00:02:53.868
We've had our noses put in the poo-poo.
00:02:53.868 --> 00:03:00.923
I don't know, they still do that in puppy training Dogs' noses in poo-poo and beep.
00:03:00.923 --> 00:03:01.743
I don't know, I'm an idiot.
00:03:01.743 --> 00:03:02.604
I don't know where I'm going here.
00:03:02.604 --> 00:03:06.390
The point is we're going to talk about getting our hopes up.
00:03:06.390 --> 00:03:09.895
We're going to talk about putting a little too much hope into an outcome.
00:03:09.895 --> 00:03:15.858
We're going to talk about getting too excited about the potential of something, only to be let down by something.
00:03:15.858 --> 00:03:22.731
We're going to talk about that little something today, but before we do, I want to share with you some stats y'all.
00:03:22.731 --> 00:03:28.362
We're going to get things going on a statistical note today.
00:03:28.383 --> 00:03:48.311
Last week we opened up the podcast with me kind of going on an impromptu ramble about the show and about the ability to continue to grow the show, to keep the show active and blossoming and flowing, and that if I didn't hear from enough people over the course of the next few months, maybe I'd have to rethink and reconfigure the show, do things a little bit different.
00:03:48.311 --> 00:03:51.568
So, with that in mind, I wanted to share a few things to you.
00:03:51.568 --> 00:03:56.026
We're making some attempts to make some changes on the marketing side of the show.
00:03:56.026 --> 00:04:03.824
If you are a fan of the website, wwwsharethestrugglepodcastcom, it now includes a blog.
00:04:03.824 --> 00:04:11.921
I've been going back through trying to update previous episodes with a little blog post In turn.
00:04:11.921 --> 00:04:14.247
For those of you that already listen to the show it's out there.
00:04:14.247 --> 00:04:24.230
For people that don't listen that maybe it just increases the likelihood of them finding the show, but I think it's a nice little synopsis of the show.
00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:35.406
So if y'all are day one listeners you've been listening since the first episode you could go through some of these notes, maybe identify some of your favorite shows that you want to go back and listen to or you want to share with a friend.
00:04:35.406 --> 00:04:46.793
Or if you're new to the show maybe this is your first time listening then I thank you, welcome, welcome aboard this little love ride to Valhalla that we all be on right now.
00:04:46.793 --> 00:04:48.865
Thank you, welcome in.
00:04:48.865 --> 00:04:49.829
Thanks for tuning in.
00:04:49.829 --> 00:04:57.074
If you head on over to the podcast and you click on that blog section, you're going to find some extended show notes about previous messages.
00:04:57.074 --> 00:05:01.170
I don't have all of them on there yet, but there's probably a good 40 or so episodes.
00:05:01.170 --> 00:05:08.115
40 or so episodes where, if you cruise through some of those little catalogs, you might identify an episode that you feel like you need to go back to, to listen to.
00:05:08.115 --> 00:05:11.449
That you might get a little hope from, a little motivation from.
00:05:11.449 --> 00:05:12.954
So that's one of the changes.
00:05:13.014 --> 00:05:25.752
But to get back on track here, I want to share some stats with y'all, because I got some information from Spotify, which Spotify just happens to be one of the preferred players of all y'all listeners.
00:05:25.752 --> 00:05:28.202
Okay, so for those of you listening on Spotify.
00:05:28.202 --> 00:05:33.634
These stats are going to reflect you and your, your listening tendencies.
00:05:33.634 --> 00:05:37.052
Y'all ready for some quick, hidden fun facts about Spotify?
00:05:37.052 --> 00:05:38.137
All right, here's the deal.
00:05:38.838 --> 00:05:48.452
Over the year of 2024, for share the struggle podcast, we saw a 23% increase in followers.
00:05:48.452 --> 00:05:56.891
Yeah, oh, y'all should be celebrating 23% gain in followers.
00:05:56.891 --> 00:05:58.574
That sounds real good to me.
00:05:58.574 --> 00:05:59.701
Y'all, that sounds good to me.
00:05:59.701 --> 00:06:02.646
I expected 2% from your big ass.
00:06:02.646 --> 00:06:06.954
Hey, why would I insult myself on a joke?
00:06:06.954 --> 00:06:12.512
Either way, it's not true, because my wife definitely tells me that I don't have a big ass.
00:06:12.512 --> 00:06:13.744
It's quite the opposite.
00:06:13.744 --> 00:06:16.185
When you ask my wife, here's a fun fact for you.
00:06:16.185 --> 00:06:22.533
She and the Struggle Podcast in the year 2024 was streamed in five countries.
00:06:22.533 --> 00:06:25.447
Take it or leave it five countries.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:37.833
Do you guys happen to know, do you gals happen to know, the most popular age range for the show?
00:06:37.833 --> 00:06:40.329
Do you care to take any guesses out there?
00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:50.904
Well, by a total of 44%, the average listener of Shades Circle Podcast happens to be between the ages of 35 and 54.
00:06:50.904 --> 00:06:55.394
So 44% of our listeners are between the ages of 35 and 44.
00:06:55.394 --> 00:07:04.935
Another little fun fact for you 53% of our current listeners are new listeners to the show.
00:07:04.935 --> 00:07:30.649
I thought this was kind of a crazy statistic because I've heard from so many of you day ones, you loyal ones that have been here forever, that have that relationship with me of connecting and reconnecting over episodes and, you know, bouncing ideas and provoking conversation, so it was really interesting to me to realize that, in all actuality, the greater portion of our listeners are new.
00:07:30.649 --> 00:07:36.634
We gained you beautiful, loyal listeners over the year 2024.
00:07:36.634 --> 00:07:39.488
So, thank you, I appreciate you.
00:07:39.488 --> 00:07:40.959
Welcome to this journey.
00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:50.880
If you are new on this journey, don't forget, because you're listening on Spotify, you can go all the way back and you can start listening to episode one when it all begun in 2020.
00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:53.065
Okay, I think it'd be great to do.
00:07:53.065 --> 00:08:02.964
I like to go back to some of the old episodes when I'm looking for a little um, you know, reminiscing, or sometimes there's some subjects that I just feel like I'd like to drive home.
00:08:02.964 --> 00:08:07.004
There's a conversation that I'd like to, you know, get back involved with.
00:08:07.004 --> 00:08:08.370
I'll go back to some of those episodes.
00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:11.187
So 53% of y'all are new.
00:08:11.187 --> 00:08:12.209
I appreciate you.
00:08:12.752 --> 00:08:24.625
Now, the last amount of stats that I'm going to give today, before we get into our meat and bananas of the day, is we're going to get into our top show fans is we're going to get into our top show fans.
00:08:24.625 --> 00:08:26.867
I think I did a horrible job of explaining that.
00:08:26.867 --> 00:08:31.370
What Spotify does is they categorize shows.
00:08:31.370 --> 00:08:43.038
If you are a Spotify listener and you know I'm talking to you right now you get a little thing called a wrapped at the end of the year and this is kind of what we're going over for a Share the Struggle podcast.
00:08:43.038 --> 00:08:50.267
But it'll show you all your listening tendencies, whether it's a music or podcast.
00:08:50.267 --> 00:08:52.676
It'll tell you who your favorite artists are, like your top 10, your top five and your number one artist.
00:08:52.676 --> 00:09:06.450
Right, like, if you, the person that you listen to all the frigging time on your Spotify account is Chris Stapleton, he's going to come up number one, okay, the number one podcast that you listen to, the number five, the top 10.
00:09:07.171 --> 00:09:19.614
With that being said, I want to break down the amount of Spotify listeners that have share the struggle podcast in their tippity top of shows they listen to.
00:09:19.614 --> 00:09:29.095
You guys ready, all right, the amount of people that have Shared the Struggle podcast as their top 10.
00:09:29.095 --> 00:09:36.025
We are in your top 10 favorite podcasts 35.
00:09:36.025 --> 00:09:40.532
35 people have us in the top 10.
00:09:40.532 --> 00:09:42.759
10, bobby.
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:54.714
How many people do you think have Sharedless Circle Podcasts in their top five, their top five most listened to things on the whole entire catalog of Spotify.
00:09:54.714 --> 00:10:01.349
29 people, y'all, 29 of you, have us in your top five.
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:08.753
Now the true question about superior fandom, the loyal ones, get your ones up.
00:10:08.753 --> 00:10:17.315
How many have a Share the Struggle podcast as their number one listen on Spotify?
00:10:17.315 --> 00:10:25.301
The number one, the great one, the only one, the important one, the one you ready?
00:10:25.301 --> 00:10:28.948
You think it's over five, do you?
00:10:28.948 --> 00:10:30.452
Of course it is.
00:10:30.452 --> 00:10:31.421
You think it's over 10?
00:10:31.421 --> 00:10:40.153
Yeah, it is 15, one, five, one, five, 10 plus five, 15.
00:10:40.153 --> 00:10:42.623
Say it again Five, 10, 15.
00:10:42.623 --> 00:10:43.966

00:11:00.692 --> 00:11:02.736
Oh, thank you.
00:11:02.736 --> 00:11:03.298
Thank you.
00:11:03.298 --> 00:11:04.761
You're beautiful.
00:11:04.761 --> 00:11:06.589
You know what you were so beautiful.
00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:17.769
I don't care what your mama and your daddy must say about you, your brother, your sister, your cousin, your significant other, I don't care your boss, your friend, your cousin's friend.
00:11:17.769 --> 00:11:30.065
I don't care what they have to say, because what I got to say is you're beautiful and I love you and I appreciate you and I thank you for listening and I really truly hope you share this show with someone you know.
00:11:30.065 --> 00:11:31.566
Okay, let's grow it.

Let's grow it.
00:11:32.586 --> 00:11:33.106
You know it.
00:11:33.106 --> 00:11:33.908
Here's the thing.
00:11:33.908 --> 00:11:44.456
I should go back and listen and look and find how many people had us in their top 10, 5, and number 1 last year.
00:11:44.456 --> 00:11:45.876
I got to look that up.
00:11:45.876 --> 00:11:46.378
It's somewhere.
00:11:46.378 --> 00:11:52.178
I should have better prepared myself for today's show and done that research before, but I didn't.
00:11:52.219 --> 00:11:58.850
Okay, I want to kind of see what our increase is, but I also wanted to encourage each and every one of you.
00:11:58.850 --> 00:12:04.511

Have you ever been rejected?
00:13:40.469 --> 00:13:42.927
She didn't want to go to prom with you.
00:13:42.927 --> 00:13:46.471
The promotion went to someone other than you.

A best friend said we are through Well.
00:13:50.628 --> 00:13:58.448
Cheer up, buttercup, because I'm here to tell you that maybe, just maybe, rejection is what's best for you.
00:13:58.448 --> 00:14:01.495
Oh, it's true, it's damn true.
00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:15.830
Today, on Share the Struggle Podcast, I want to come hard and fast at rejection, what it means, how it feels, how we handle it and how we grow from it, because the truth is, when we struggle, we share it.
00:14:15.830 --> 00:14:22.532
We don't go through it, we grow through it, and I know each and every one of you listening has been rejected.
00:14:22.532 --> 00:14:26.311
I've been rejected many, many damn times in my life before.
00:14:26.311 --> 00:14:28.904
Rejection comes in all different flavors.
00:14:28.904 --> 00:14:31.192
It comes in all different shapes and sizes.
00:14:31.192 --> 00:14:36.892
When you hear the word rejection, we often think about I asked her to prom and she said no.
00:14:36.892 --> 00:14:40.386
I asked him on a date and he said hell, no.
00:14:41.048 --> 00:14:44.221
We often think about rejection when it comes to a relationship.
00:14:44.221 --> 00:14:49.734
We either finally built up the confidence to ask the question and we were just kicked right in the gonads.
00:14:49.734 --> 00:14:55.530
You know we are putting ourselves out there and it's just being sent right the hell back.
00:14:55.530 --> 00:14:59.304
Return to sender no person, no such address.
00:14:59.304 --> 00:15:02.668
Isn't that a Elvis song?
00:15:02.668 --> 00:15:04.346
Return to sender.
00:15:04.346 --> 00:15:05.884
Return to sender.
00:15:05.884 --> 00:15:09.547
Return to sender no, no, no, I don't know.
00:15:09.547 --> 00:15:13.428
It's way off track here.
00:15:13.428 --> 00:15:21.125
We've all been kicked in the bricks, okay, boys, girls, chipmunks and squirrels, we've all been kicked in the bricks.
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:27.080
When I think about rejection, it's very easy to go back to our younger days, right?
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:28.806
Maybe you're listening and you are a young lad.
00:15:28.806 --> 00:15:30.330
You're a wee little young lady.
00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:36.590
Welcome to the show, young lady, if you haven't been rejected, you're going to be rejected.
00:15:36.590 --> 00:15:38.727
The first thing we think about is those relationship things.
00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:38.908
Right?
00:15:38.908 --> 00:15:41.322
Let's put a little question out there.
00:15:41.322 --> 00:15:50.111
How many of you in the room have asked somebody out on a date, asked somebody to be in a relationship, maybe asked somebody to marry you, and they say the hell no to you?
00:15:50.111 --> 00:15:53.235
How many Pull the audience show of hands in the room?
00:15:53.235 --> 00:15:56.506
Okay, everybody's hand is up right now.
00:15:56.506 --> 00:15:58.852
Okay, because you've been turned down.
00:15:58.852 --> 00:16:01.214
I guarantee it, you've been turned down.
00:16:01.214 --> 00:16:03.575
That's the first thing we think about when we think about rejection.
00:16:03.934 --> 00:16:05.855
But it's not just about relationships.
00:16:05.855 --> 00:16:08.635
It's about all phases and facets of life.
00:16:08.635 --> 00:16:15.259
We've been rejected, we've been turned down, we've been denied, we've been cut off, right?
00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:17.120
I mean, I've been cut off at the bar to see was that rejection?
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:17.881
Is that the truth?
00:16:17.881 --> 00:16:19.684
Hey you, sir, you're done.
00:16:19.684 --> 00:16:23.110
You're done drinking here, man, you're cut off.
00:16:23.110 --> 00:16:24.451
I've definitely been cut off.
00:16:24.451 --> 00:16:26.195
Okay, but that's.
00:16:26.195 --> 00:16:27.302
We don't want to bring that up right now.
00:16:27.302 --> 00:16:28.024
We're not talking about that.
00:16:29.408 --> 00:16:58.471
If the simple thing to think about is being rejected when it comes to a relationship level, let's open our eyes, let's let's peel back the onion a little bit and think about all other layers and areas of our life where we've been turned down, where we've been been rejected, because I have a positive message for each and every one of you, because I'm willing to share it with you, and the truth is, rejection might be what's best for you, because rejection shows what you are made of.
00:16:58.471 --> 00:17:03.831
Rejection reveals things about you that you did not know about you.
00:17:03.831 --> 00:17:08.623
Reveals things about you that you did not know about you.
00:17:08.623 --> 00:17:19.644
What's crazy about rejection is that there's probably a multitude of times in your life where you've experienced rejection, maybe a similar degree of rejection, and you handled all of those situations, all of those opportunities, differently, right.
00:17:19.644 --> 00:17:23.993
When I was a younger man and I had that, you know first time breakup.
00:17:23.993 --> 00:17:31.749
You know the girl that breaks your heart, the first girlfriend that says you I've come to realization, are a dirtbag, I'm done with you.
00:17:31.749 --> 00:17:33.113
That hurts, right.
00:17:33.113 --> 00:17:40.883
Or even on the smaller level, when you're a little bit younger than that, the first time you ask somebody out and they say no, that rejection.
00:17:40.883 --> 00:17:42.630
You handle those things differently, right.
00:17:43.401 --> 00:17:57.236
When I was a younger dude and I went through those breakups, I had this philosophy that I came across along the way, that I taught myself that was absolutely ridiculous and the complete wrong way to handle things, but it's how I did it.
00:17:57.236 --> 00:17:58.130
What did I do?
00:17:58.130 --> 00:18:02.891
I submerged myself in the depths of hell.
00:18:02.891 --> 00:18:04.884
Okay, no other way to put it.
00:18:04.884 --> 00:18:14.906
I made myself as miserable as I possibly could be, and then I would get to that floor, the ground floor of misery, and then it was nothing but a rebound for me.
00:18:14.906 --> 00:18:22.446
You understand, I didn't just bounce from my feet like a freaking Peter Cottontail, I went to the depths of misery.
00:18:22.446 --> 00:18:24.667
I submerged myself in depression.
00:18:24.667 --> 00:18:26.041
How do I do this?
00:18:26.041 --> 00:18:35.646
Well, try being alone with yourself, isolation, playing the most depressing, ridiculous breakup songs, country songs.
00:18:36.269 --> 00:18:47.086
Maybe when you're a little bit older, you tip into the booze a little bit and you just wallow in self-pity Because you feel like, if I can make myself feel absolutely miserable at some point, there's this shining light.
00:18:47.086 --> 00:19:02.144
I'm going to come crashing through, because I'm going to start off listening to the most depressing, ridiculous stuff and eventually I'm going to have the Kool-Aid man moment when I'm just going to bust in the wall and go, oh, yeah, and then I'm back, okay, and everything is up for me.
00:19:02.144 --> 00:19:14.184
Ladies and gentlemen, I do not recommend you use that philosophy, but what I'm trying to paint you for a picture here is the way I handled that rejection 20, 30 years ago.
00:19:14.184 --> 00:19:19.013
God, you're getting old, so are your balls Old balls.
00:19:19.013 --> 00:19:23.003
That was disgusting, but it was funny.
00:19:23.003 --> 00:19:26.568
I just saw Christmas ornaments.
00:19:26.568 --> 00:19:29.853
It looked like there's a ball going around my Christmas tree.
00:19:29.853 --> 00:19:31.714
It just happened.
00:19:31.776 --> 00:19:36.144
Okay, I apologize, lord, I apologize, but you handle rejection differently.
00:19:36.144 --> 00:19:47.171
I can handle rejection differently now than I did before, because we don't just go through those things, we grow through those things and rejection shows you what you're made of right.
00:19:47.171 --> 00:19:56.289
And there's a lot of instances in life where, in the middle of that situation, you feel like the end of the world is near.
00:19:56.289 --> 00:20:00.089
You feel like it just can't get any shittier.
00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:04.008
Okay, pour me some bourbon and put on some misery.
00:20:04.008 --> 00:20:05.230
This is the end of me.
00:20:05.230 --> 00:20:16.393
But the truth is, like we've always said, when you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, it all makes sense, and far too often that rejection leads you to a greater opportunity.
