The (Lost) Art of Accepting Criticism

Art of Supply

“The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” - Norman Vincent Peale

The Art of Supply podcast regularly covers topics that come with a bit of discomfort: allegations of child labor and greenwashing, the role of government regulations in bringing about change, and China, and absolutely anything to do with China.

It isn’t possible to talk about topics like these without getting feedback, and that feedback often takes the form of criticism.

In this episode, Kelly Barner takes a break from the usual coverage of news stories and expert interviews to talk about criticism, and how its inevitability shapes her content and makes it better.

Listen to this week’s episode of Art of Supply to hear about:

• The Art of Supply content creation process
• The differences between welcome criticism and the criticism we intentionally avoid
• Our philosophy on receiving criticism
• And why covering these complex topics is so important that it is worth the risk
