Real Support: Actions Over Words
Manage episode 481050918 series 3642293
What does it truly mean to support someone in today's digital age? In this raw and unfiltered episode, DJ Kornbread (aka The Empress) dives deep into the painful reality of fake support from those closest to us. She tackles the frustrating phenomenon of friends and family who claim they "fuck with you" but never actually demonstrate that support through simple actions like sharing posts or promoting your business.
The conversation explores a fundamental question many entrepreneurs and creators face: why do the people who claim to care about us often fail to take even the smallest actions to support our endeavors? DJ Kornbread contrasts this behavior with how quickly these same individuals will promote celebrities they'll never meet or products they can't afford, yet remain silent when it comes to supporting the dreams of those in their immediate circle.
This thought-provoking examination of modern relationships highlights the increasingly transactional nature of support, where many won't lift a finger unless they're getting something in return. Kornbread makes a compelling case that true friendship and family bonds should transcend this mentality. You don't need to personally love someone's business or creative direction to show support—sharing their content or mentioning their services requires minimal effort but demonstrates genuine care for their success.
Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling unsupported by your circle or someone wondering if you've been a true friend to others pursuing their dreams, this episode will challenge you to examine the authenticity in your relationships. As DJ Kornbread says, "If you fuck with me, I'll fuck with you"—a simple but powerful reminder that support should be a two-way street built on genuine actions, not empty words.
