Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Not All Criticism Is Feedback

Welcome to the episode where we separate useful reflection from noise. In Ted Lasso, the fans at the pub act like a character unto themselves—cheering, jeering, and always watching. And just like in business, not all of that input is helpful.

This week we’re looking at the Richmond fanbase as a metaphor for your online audience: the pressure to please, the vulnerability of being seen, and the deep need to discern who’s offering real feedback… and who’s just projecting their own shit.

We also unpack Rebecca’s experience with personal criticism that masquerades as professional commentary, and how emotional intelligence becomes the best business strategy around.
