MOTM #670: How to Make People Care

Monday, June 23rd, 2025

When the work is as shitty as it is right now, how the hell do you get the people around you to start caring? Well, you don’t. You can’t! It’s frustrating and at times demoralizing, but y’all know I’m all about taking ownership of what you CAN control, instead of allowing yourself to become a victim of circumstance. So you can’t make anyone care, but you can be the first to care, and you can make caring contagious. Make giving a shit cool again. 

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love.
