Everybody coming at you from beautiful Colorado on vacation with the family. I have to say that

2024 has been absolutely wild. We started this podcast, which tried a number one for three

entire weeks. I finished my book, which releases in a few months. And I got to speak at NASA in tons of

other cities I've never been before. All I can say is a huge thank you to every one of you who

supported me and followed me along the way.

And to wrap up, 2024, I put together your top three most listened to episodes of season one of the Jefferson Fisher podcast.

I'm internally grateful for you and I'll be having a wonderful end to the year.

Today we're talking about how to respond to rude comments.

Those moments you're caught off guard by

something that wasn't nice. Do you say something? Do you not say something? What do you say? All that

and more coming right up. The next time someone makes a rude comment towards you, here's what I want you to do.

Number one, begin your response with the phrase, did you mean? It's a a question of intent we're going to go into detail on

that did you mean number two if it's a more passive aggressive type of rude comment in other words

it's not directly at you it's more off to the side and you know and they know it was meant for you

we're going to have questions that check them. These are

questions like, did I offend you in some way? Or are you doing all right? It sounds like you're

having a hard day. There are ways that you can check them without coming across like you're also

wanting to be rude. And number three, my personal favorite response to a rude comment is nothing at all. You respond

with absolute silence, but there's a technique and a trick on how to do it correctly. And here's

the thing about rude comments. They're tests. There are ways for the other person to test and assess

what your temperature is.

Can they get a reaction out of you or not?
