In this episode, Kemi talks about the uncomfortable but necessary role feedback plays in making your career stronger.

She explores why critique can feel so personal, especially when you care deeply about the work you are doing, but no matter how strong your work is, your own perspective will always have gaps. At some point, you need input from people who can see what you cannot.

This episode is a direct and necessary conversation for anyone who wants their work to get better, go further, and create more opportunities. As Kemi makes clear, not being able to receive and process feedback can become a real career limitation.
