Ever felt like everyone around you just doesn't get it? Join me, Sean Michael Crane, on the Unstoppable Mindset Podcast, where I share how to navigate the often turbulent waters of criticism and misunderstanding while staying true to your path. As I expand my reach on social media, the noise from naysayers has only grown louder, but I've learned that resilience and authenticity are my greatest allies. This episode serves as a rallying cry to hold firm to your beliefs and values, no matter who's doubting or judging your journey. It's a call to action for anyone feeling pressured by family, friends, or online strangers to choose a side on personal goals or societal issues.
Authenticity shines brightest when faced with negativity, and I've seen skeptics transform into supporters by staying true to my purpose. We'll explore the power of representing your beliefs and the satisfaction of aligning with your true self, even in the face of resistance. Discover how personal integrity and focus can turn doubters into advocates through positive actions and genuine connections. If you or someone you know feels misunderstood or criticized, this episode offers encouragement and strategies to overcome these challenges while remaining steadfast and authentic.

Prove them wrong by notquitting, by not giving up, by
not getting sidetracked orbackstepping when people start
(00:21):
to ridicule you or judge you.

look in the mirror, you makeyourself happy and you know in
your heart you're doing theright thing.
Prove them all fucking false.
With positive action and overtime, you're going to win them
over and you're going to turnanybody that doubted you,

(00:47):
Welcome back to another episodeof the Unstoppable Mindset
Podcast.
I'm your host, shawn MichaelCrane, and thank you guys for
tuning in.
This episode is specificallyfor anybody who feels like
they're being judged in life.
You got haters.
You got family members orfriends that don't understand
you.
This episode is going to be foryou, or if you know somebody
who's going through a similarsituation, please share this
(01:09):
episode with them and if youhaven't already subscribe, like
the podcast, support me.
I appreciate it.
I'm here to change the worldand I'm just one man.
I need your help and support todo so, so check it out.
We're out here in beautifulSanta Barbara, california, in
the HQ, the Unstoppable HQ andpodcast studio, and I got some
different messages I'm going toshare and record today.
(01:31):
But I wanted to talkspecifically about people who
hate on you or make negativecomments and a speaker and
building my company, unstoppable365, is the higher that you
rise in the ranks, the moreridicule, the more resistance,
the more hate you're going toget.
It's just the way it is.
Not everyone's going to likeyou or agree with what you're
(01:56):
doing, but there comes a time inyour life where you need to
take a stance and have anopinion and form your own belief
and stand by it, and the samegoes for like politics and stuff
too.
Right now is a very contentioustime.
There's a lot of divisivenessin the United States, with
Donald Trump being president,and there's a lot of you know
things going on in thegovernment, and people are
really being politicized rightnow.
But I think, rather than try toignore it like a lot of people
(02:19):
do and say, oh gosh, like I'msick of the drama and go about
your life, like you should stillgo about your life.
But you should pick a side.
You should pick a side andfigure out who you want to
represent.
Who's back do you have?
It's really important in certainmatters that you do pick a side
, and the same goes for your ownpersonal goals in your own
journey, whether that's buildinga business, whether that's
making lifestyle changes,relationship changes.
(02:41):
What you're going to realize isnot everybody is going to agree
, not everybody is going tounderstand why you're doing what
you're doing, and I've seen alot of people who, when they get
ridiculed or when they'rejudged, they freeze and they
tend to backtrack and they tryto appease everybody and, at the
end of the day, that's nevergoing to serve you.
Okay, if you're doing thingsthat you know in your heart are
(03:01):
good for you, but then you getquestioned by other people and
you quickly backstep, dude,you're going against your truth,
you're going against what youknow in your heart.
You need to be doing so.
For me personally, I don't geta ton of hate, but I do have
people that misunderstand me orthey might say, oh, why do you
cuss?
Or oh, you're a little toointense, or your message is this
your message is that and I justknow that my message isn't for
(03:23):
them, but for every one personthat might misunderstand me,
there's hundreds or thousandsthat vibe with my message, that
connect with my message and thatsupport me in what I'm doing.
But more recently, on Instagramand other platforms, me and my
team have been boosting certaincontent, running ads, doing
things to grow the business, andnow I'm exposed to people that
(03:44):
don't know my backstory.
They don't know my authenticity, my truth, where I come from,
what I've overcome.
You see, on social media I'vedocumented everything I've done
since I came home building mybusiness, seeking redemption,
just in my life, with sobriety,and all the things I didn't do
when I was younger forming afamily, raising children.
I've done a lot since I've comehome.
So people that have seen myjourney, they know my heart,
(04:06):
they know who I am, they trustand believe in me because I've
demonstrated it for so long.
Like when you demonstrate itfor so long, things change.
But in the beginning you knowpeople aren't going to
understand you.
Or, if you're for me, like I'mnow, being introduced to
thousands of new people whodon't know my story, my
backstory, they don't know who Iam, and so it's funny, like on,
on these reels that I'm puttingout to the world, I'll get tons
(04:27):
of guys who say the dumbestthings and just hate on them,
like one recent Reel that Iboosted was really good.
It was talking about thebiggest distractions for men in
2025 and it was talking aboutphones and screen time and just
not using your phones for apurpose, but using it to escape.
And then, specifically, guyswho get sucked into the world of
porn and they're just addictedto watching porn and it affects
(04:49):
their relationships, it affectstheir mental health and a lot of
things.
That's a big issue with guys.
I coach men, I talk to men allthe time about their issues and
that's one of the main thingsthat come up.
And lastly, ironically, issports and football.
Guys just get so consumed toknowing about all the stats, not
just watching the games all dayon the weekend but then you
(05:09):
know fantasy football leaguesand you know watching the ESPN
and all the different analysisthroughout the week, and like
they spend so much time andenergy consumed by sports.
And look, I love sports, I'm anathlete at heart.
I wanted to be a professionalathlete when I was a kid, but
there comes a time when yourealize, dude, I'm not going to
be a professional athlete.
Like I'm not on the team, myname's not on the back of a
(05:30):
jersey, maybe I shouldn't spendso much of my fucking time and
energy consumed by these otherpeople's lives.
Like, it's okay to watch sports, but if you don't have the
results you want in your ownlife, maybe you got to get to
work to fix that first.
So that was my message.
And I had all these guys thatwere angry with the message,
that were putting hate on thatreel, that were trying to
(05:52):
downplay what I was saying.
And it's like, dude, howignorant can you be?
Don't you see that the averageman nowadays is suffering and
struggling to find their path inlife?
The average man is strugglingto find a sense of purpose and
identity that drives him eachand every day to get out of bed
and do the work required tobuild something he's proud of.
Like it's a big issue, and Iwork with these guys every
(06:13):
single day.
This is how I built my business, was leading these men
providing value sharing where Icame from, which is the depths
of despair, rock bottom and nowthe life I've been able to
create and showing them what'spossible.
So I know these issuesintimately and I've lived it and
I'm a part of solving theseproblems for people.
So it's funny when I get guyswho hate on these comments
(06:34):
number one, a red flag goes up.
I know that these individualsare probably afflicted by the
things I'm describing andthey're either in denial or what
most people do is they projectand they get angry when they're
called out about something.
Instead of taking inventory,instead of being honest with
themselves and takingresponsibility for their lives,
they want to attack and pointfingers, because then that takes
instead of taking inventory,instead of being honest with
themselves and takingresponsibility for their lives,
they want to attack and pointfingers, because then that takes
(06:55):
the blame elsewhere and theydon't have to fix themselves or
do anything about it.
So I know how to deal withpeople like this.
Sometimes I just call them apussy or say, dude, you're weak,
and see how that affects themand triggers them.
But other times and this iswhat I did this morning I'll
actually ask them questions andask them like well, why do you
(07:16):
think that?
Or in this specific message, Ihad a guy say, dude, you're
spewing nonsense.
And I literally said men aredistracted by three things right
now their phones, porn andsports.
And it's true, and most peoplerealize that if you have a
husband or a brother or a guyand you see how they're living
their lives and the guys thataren't getting the results they
want, it's because they'redistracted and they're escaping.
And these are the differentways they tend to escape.
(07:37):
Drugs and alcohol is anotherbig one, a massive one that I
didn't even touch on.
But this individual, I saidI'll spew nonsense and I started
asking him questions and kindof challenged him on his thought
process and then he actually DMme and said dude, we should
talk and connect.
I gave you a follow, I saw someof your other stuff, I like
what you're doing, and hequickly changed up his tune, all
(07:57):
because I took the time just toaddress it.
And here's the main point islike people need to be
challenged.
When we have, you know, peoplejust say whatever they want.
Nowadays with social media,they can talk shit to anyone or
just get on there and saywhatever they want, but like no
one's being held accountable andno one's being challenged by
what they're saying.
Like we need to hold peopleaccountable.
We need to challenge them,whether it's you know, in
(08:17):
politics, like you're seeingright now, on a global scale, in
your own household, with yourfriends at work, like it's very
important to hold peopleaccountable.
Okay, but back to my otherpoint earlier about like people
who might hate on you, theymight not believe in you
initially, they might notunderstand why you're changing.
My biggest thing that I want totell you right now, the most
important thing, is just fuckingprove them wrong.
(08:39):
Prove them wrong by notquitting, by not giving up, by
not getting sidetracked orbackstepping when people start
to ridicule you or judge you,because that's going to confirm
what they thought all the while.
You're going to prove themright.
And here's the thing is likedown the road, and this is
what's happened to me.
I've posted content for five,six years straight thousands and
(08:59):
thousands of videos andmessages and you win people over
by being consistent, becauseyou prove that you are who you
say you are.
Win people over by beingconsistent.
Because you prove that you arewho you say you are, they start
to believe in you.
They see that you're authentic,they start to feel connected to
you because you've demonstratedthat you are that person you
said you wanted to be Like.
Take, for instance, the guythat says I need to get sober.
(09:20):
Guys say that all the time andthen the next weekend they're
drinking Dude.
People around you aren't goingto believe in you.
If you do that Like.
You're literally provingyourself false and them right,
especially the people, obviously, who hated on you or didn't
believe you.
So when you make thesecommitments and you make these
promises, know that there'sgoing to be resistance, know
that not everyone's going toalways believe in you, and
that's okay.
(09:40):
You can't make everybody happyin life.
The most important thing is atthe end of the day.
When you look in the mirror,you make yourself happy and you
know in your heart you're doingthe right thing.
Like if I was putting outcontent just for clickbait or
just to try to trigger people orjust to be a jerk, that
wouldn't be authentic andgenuine to who I am, I'm putting
out messages that have servedme, that have helped me in my
life, messages that I believe in, messages that I know that can
(10:03):
help other people, and I'm doingit from a genuine place of
wanting to help people and makean impact on this world.
So if I have people hating onmy content or saying stupid
things on my reels, dude, Idon't care, because I know in my
heart, like when I go to sleepat night, you know, my conscious
is clear.
When I look in the mirror, Iknow that I'm living the life
that I'm supposed to live andI'm being the version of myself
(10:24):
I'm supposed to be.
So that stuff doesn't phase me.
It doesn't phase me at all.
But one of the coolest things isbeing able to turn a hater into
one of your biggest fans andthen a coaching client, and I do
that often because it triggersthem, it creates an opportunity
to have a conversation.
Then they see that, oh, dude,sean's a real guy, he's asking
me questions, he actually cares.
They start going through mypage and seeing other content.
(10:45):
Oh, sean is a family.
Oh, dude, sean was in freakingprison.
Like he came back from all that, dude, he's sober.
They start learning about me andgetting to realize like I'm a
genuine, good fucking person.
And so one of my favoritethings to do is turn haters into
fans.
And you can do that in yourlife too.
Maybe you're making a change toyour health and fitness and
your wife or your friends don'tget it and they don't want you
to change.
Maybe guys at work are makingfun of you because you want to
(11:07):
be sober, you want to be healthyor, on a bigger scale, like
people on social media areclowning on you.
Dude, prove them all fuckingfalse with positive action and
over time, you're going to winthem over and you're going to
turn anybody that doubted you,anybody that judged you, anybody
that hated on you, into yourbiggest fans that will support
you going forward.
Ford.
If you're doing things that you know in your
heart are good for you, but thenyou get questioned by other
people and you quickly backstep,dude, you're going against your
truth.
My biggest thing that I want totell you right now, the most
important thing, is just fuckingprove them wrong.
Prove them wrong by notquitting, by not giving up, by
not getting sidetracked orbackstepping when people start
(00:21):
to ridicule you or judge you.
The most important thing is, atthe end of the day, when you
look in the mirror, you makeyourself happy and you know in
your heart you're doing theright thing.
Prove them all fucking false.
With positive action and overtime, you're going to win them
over and you're going to turnanybody that doubted you,
anybody that judged you, anybodythat hated on you, into your
biggest fans that will supportyou going.
