EP 3564 Opinions are like arseholes

Everyone has an opinion. Most of them are uninformed, emotionally driven, and completely irrelevant to your life and goals. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O'Gorman dismantles the damage caused by giving weight to other people's opinions and why high performers learn to filter noise ruthlessly. If you're constantly adjusting your behaviour to avoid judgement, you are handing control of your life to people who aren't living it.

This episode challenges the need for approval and exposes how opinion addiction weakens confidence, decision making, and leadership. Strong people don't need consensus. They need clarity, standards, and the courage to act even when others don't agree.

Key Takeaways:

• Why most opinions say more about the speaker than about you

• How caring too much about judgement erodes confidence and self trust

• The difference between useful feedback and destructive noise

• Why leadership requires tolerance for disagreement

• How to stay grounded in your values without becoming reactive or defensive

If you want to live with conviction, lead with strength, and stop being derailed by outside noise, this episode is a necessary reset.
