Welcome back to Readerzz!
Today we’re back with Wes Towers, author of The Simple Manifesto. In Part 2, we move into Lens 2: Nonconformist: what it looks like to live your values publicly, whether you’re building a company or just trying to live with more clarity.
We talk about handling pushback without getting reactive, separating useful feedback from projection, and why being misunderstood is part of standing for something. Wes also breaks down the hidden cost of the wrong customer (or relationship), when it’s time to walk away even if it’s uncomfortable, and how to make promises you can actually keep without “fake it till you make it” blowing up later. We wrap with questioning “the rules” you’ve been handed, and how to have networking and conversations that are actually meaningful and mutually beneficial.
Enjoy!
